Useful camera tip:
For better indoor snaps,go to camera and select show extended toolbar (3 horizontal lines),set the exposure to maximum (+2),sharpness to soft,and contrast to just 1 point below default(center),keep the flash automatic or on,and take the snapshots,it gives well noticed change to the quality(also have to set the image quality to 3M-large)..i have observed that the bad image quality from camera is not due to camera hardware but is most likely a firmware issue,because the shutter when shuts after a click the lens does not get proper exposure and pictures are shot in greenish hue and micro dotted,this settings i have told u greatly improves this.,i hope nokia will improve it and hue issue in next firmware update.
Thanks
I am using this phone right now, lolol. No offence but this phone is shit. I also tried the n97, tooooo slow, lolol. Seriously as much as I love Nokia (since is classy, authentic, and reliable) Nokia phones are shit. Slow as hell and and defiantly not user friendly. Like if I gave my nokia for my parent, they will not know how to navigate it compare to Sony ericsson. My nokia 5800 will most likely be my last Nokia, or maybe the N9 is its not too expensive. But I'm done with Nokia and the symbian^3 is stupid. Slow........ Apple will prob. be my next choice or Samsung Ga. S. XD mwahahaha.
plz dnt go for 5800 it really sucks.!!hangs all the tym.!!nd lot more.!!im using it.!! :(
very , very , very !!! and very good phone , except the poor cam but nice !!!!

Is sign in harms the phone from virus attack? and is it same like hacking. I think it is not good to sign in and hacking the mobile.
Please let me know the pros & cons of doing signin / hacking.
Thanks in Advance
azm, 19 Aug 2010Hi Parth, regarding the batt terminal. is it by widening the gap or brushing means gently s... moreJust brush the terminals with a sharp object like a pin, the gap won't widen even if you try to.
roshan, 16 Aug 2010hey may i knw howz output of nokia 5800? and is it tough to write sms in touchscreen???No, it is not tough while writing messages.
If you are new to touch phones, first two days will be tough to you, then it will be easy as you will know how much pressure to apply for touch.

Camera quality is greatly increased in indoor with firmware v51
Currently i am using Nokia 5800 Xpressmusic handset with the firmware version 40.0.005 with Type- RM 356. The problem is that, 1> whenever i am trying to delete any contacts from the phone memory, the display screen flickers and then it becomes white after some time again normal.It happened 7-8 time during the last 8 months. 2>Heard that Nokia has announced a new firmware version V51.0 recently. Also i saw some people complaining about the new version. The new version consumes more battery than before, browser became slow, no office present and so on. Will you recommend me to update my handset with the new version.
I mean the N95 8GB model...
shoyaib, 19 Aug 2010i want to buy this phone to sell n95 8gb. But i don't understand am i going to wrong to sell n... moreSame opinion with Lambo. Don't sell your N95 to buy 5800XM. You will downgrade your phone. If you really want to replace n95 with a touchscreen phone, don't buy 5800 cose is a low performance phone, buy n97, or other mark. (I had an n82, now i have 5800, but it will be a gift for my girlfriend...for me i'll buy an HTC, or n97...i hope my girlfriend won't read gsmarena's site opinions :)) )
i had 5800 for like 6months last year and i was not satisfied with its features. it looks good, but the screen should have been fiberglass instead of "plastic" material. the camera is okay in well-lighted backgrounds. well, i don't expect any mobile phone to have a good camera in bad lighting, so i can say that the camera is good, more than what i expected from 3.12mp.. entertainment-wise, it's great, what with clear and loud speakers and a wide screen. but then, it lacks some features (but one can download applications), but it can be very prone to virus. can easily scratch. altogether it's a good phone. i give it 3 out of 5.
this is just personal opinion. i believe we have different eyes for everything. :)
