so you will not leave it on charge all night long.
Two hours is more than enough to charge this phone.
It helps you save on your energy bill as well.
Hope this helps...

        BIG Bug

        Nokia 5800 XpressMusic software update (v40.0.005)

        To all Nokia 5800 users, do you all experience this problem. When I left the phone for charging, upon complete charging. The LCD backlight continues to turn on. I had confirmed with lot of my friend and all experience this problem.

        This is a big problem as if one’s leave the phone to charge over night. The backlight will be on continuously and affect the life span of the backlight.

        Nokia please rectify this bug, as it will affect all Nokia 5800 users. Thanks.

          I find that Nokia is really retard to release a 5800 update but not for all region especially for the RM-428 that they just start selling last year. They should had release update for that first to get people to buy it. Now Im just sitting here waiting for an update before I had enough and sell it off and no more nokia for me.

                  lolme, 15 Jan 2010i may tell you SIR, that im an adult. i feel that its n... moreNokia has already milked the 5800 design for all it's worth with the multiple variations available. Again, the only thing we're talking about here is a feature added via software. As far as sales of the 5530 being affected or Nokia not developing any future versions of this phone, well that remains to be seen. Nokia will most likely keep some low & mid-range touchscreen devices. Not everyone can afford the X6. Personally I'd rather see them design something new instead of adding a new feature to either the 5530 or 5800 phones. Allowing yourself get 'frustrated' over a software update is pointless.


                  "i feel that its normal to feel fustrated. its indeed a wrong marketing move because i know some people who were ready to dump their 5800 and get a 5530 just because of kinetic scrolling and now that this update is available, they wont change phone and thus no additional sales will be made.

                  also each phone should have its own personality via the specs but nokia failed to understand that since the 3 variants are now the same, kinda like triplets"

                    lolme, 15 Jan 2010im really dissapointed with nokia. im a 5530 user and now t... moreThe 5530 is a cheaper version of the 5800 so I don't understand what you're so upset about. Your phone has kinetic scrolling and now the 5800 has it too. It's no big deal. How does your phone suddenly 'look cheap' because of a software upgrade?



                    "im really dissapointed with nokia. im a 5530 user and now that 5800 got kinetic scrolling,im sad coz 5530 is being downgraded and this is really sapping my moral. indeed, what was interesting in 5530 is that it could distinguish itself from 5800. i didnt bother that it doesnt have 3g coz 3g in my country is bad and expensive and that was compensated by wifi.

                    now my 5530 looks cheap.since i just got this one, i wont be buying a new one till next year and i assure you that the new one wont be a nokia phone.!!!!"

                      this raised my hopes for nokia. im sure some of the symbian new versions are coming to current symbian s60v5 but im not sure about the lastest version symbian v4 but 2 and 3 for sure. theyre betting a lot on x6

                            u need to slide the BAR. Not Press.

                            U see the Arrow when incoming call or Alarm during Lock.
                            U no need to Unlock it, but need to SLIDE the bar.

                            This is preventing from Fault press.
