      ...so I take it you don't have an answer, that's kinda sad, in a pathetic, emulating Nokia way.

              So all you Nokia fans are still trying to emulate the functionality of the iPhone, yet a lot of you will bash it every chance you get.

              So tell me again why this is so important if Nokia phones are so good?

                  Viswateja, 20 Jul 2009for everyone's interest in this fone, you no longer need to... moreI tried it. Buggy as hell with OperaMini and GMail apps. I ended up uninstalling it. Sorry but that Javacake needs a little more bake time in the oven before it's ready to eat.


                  "for everyone's interest in this fone, you no longer need to double tap anywhere on the phone screen, if you follow nokia beta labs and only if gsmarena kept up with the latest news.the java runtime update not only speeds up the UI and app. launch time, but also brings in good touch response.this is from my personal experience.

                  5800 users can get the update from here:

                    To all the people who are waiting to get this phone for the update, the 5530 will soon be out (already with the updated features like kinetic scrolling) and it's spec is identical to the 5800 but it has no GPS nor 3g and its 3.2 but not Carl Zeiss. This is coming on the 11th August in the UK and will be at CPW for 8weeks exclusivly. It will retail at £128.99

                      It's about time. What a waste the homescreen has been to only have four shortcuts to applications (or contacts) while the rest of it sits empty.

                        It's said that it probably won't be out until the end of summer. So we just got to keep waiting :(

                                        Only this could have salvaged this phone...but nevertheless I'm going to sell it.
