        So this is Android to you guys - the homescreen?!?
        I don't like this kind of superficial press, as Symbian had 3rd party homescreens for ages!

                  NAIS, 25 Aug 2011i need to falsh my cell with belle on 5800 express musicNo, you can't. Nokia 5800 is not Symbian^3 device. Hence, cannot be upgrade to Symbian Belle. I suggest you to wait for these new Nokia Phones, invest some money and buy one. Nokia 701 recommended.

                          Reminds me of a quote by Ex-Nokia No.2

                          "I don't know what is copying and what is original but if there is something good in the world, we copy it with pride"

                                  isnt Nokia going to abandon Symbian? But upgrades are good! Even they may be copies of some other OS, nokias signature will be there... But the OS upgrage solely wont matter long, once the ppl get used to it they'll ask for a change... Nokia needs to concentrate on the app market! It may not have lacks of apps, but a few mainstream apps which may be usued in day to day life is what nokia missing!
                                  Hope nokia realises it soon...

Still Ovi Store (http://store.ovi.com) has a number of apps to meet my carving to buy new apps and games. Just go ahead and hit the above link and see for your self. The problem with ios and andriod initially was that they were in complete in many features and depended on third part developers to build apps for those features. I've been using N8 since Oct last year and do not feel the need for apps. Most of the apps I bought was games and a few like Joiku. There are still plenty of free apps as well.
