Kyuubi, 03 Mar 2009Lol i have used other brand phones smart a$$ i just prefer ... morefinally coming around i see. you indicate that you have used other phones. You are MORE than entitled to use whatever phone you like. what is good for you may not be for me, but that's okay. what you need to learn are to things.
1. opinions are like butts. everyone has one but yours is not better than anyone else's.
2. you are not the smartest guy in town because you say so. you are probably not the smartest guy anywhere for that matter. As soon as you learn to live with that and you will become smarter immediately.
now can this group get back to sensible discussions?

Ashame on you Nokia . The rest of Article :
Anamnesis
The main problem that many users complain about is the top right corner of the casing that tends to loosen up with time, and, supposedly, causes the earpiece to give up the ghost or, at very least start making creaking noises and spontaneously changing its volume while in a call.
Apparently, it stood to reason that we needed to investigate these two flaws as one, since a loose-fitting part of the casing probably made the earpiece slip several millimeters down from its original position. Skipping the details, I’d like to say that this approach has proven to be inadequate – these are two separate problems, because over the course of our experiments we ran into several phones that didn’t have any issues with their casings, however their earpieces were barely usable and vice versa.
The right corner of the phone tends to loosen up because of a slightly displaced screw. All in all, this design flaw is characteristic of most 5800 XM units. However, it’s rather an unpleasant feature, as the frame surrounding the earpiece doesn’t go anywhere, meaning that the abovementioned issue with the 5800’s casing has absolutely no effect on its earpiece performance (in that it doesn’t slip down or start to wobble in its slot).
With this in mind, we decided to focus on the problem with the 5800’s earpiece and here is what we have managed to find out.

I like to post what the site say about problem with this phone http://www.mobile-review.com/a...ak-en.shtml:
All Nokia 5800 come with a defect?!
We have been looking into the situation around the faulty earpiece on the Nokia 5800 and analyzing feedback from the users since early December. For me this work was exciting from several perspectives – for one, I was able to find a connection between warranty claims and certain usage patterns, as well as put together a thorough picture of various types of defects (both hardware and software) present in this phone. We are not going to cover the 5800 XpressMusic’s software issues, though, as they are fairly easy to rectify with a new firmware version, whereas its hardware flaws require the user to return the phone for repair, so they are a lot more crucial. Also, we won’t touch upon the statistics on warranty claims and issues of this nature – rather, we’d like to tell you more about the design flaws in the Nokia 5800 and also the real scope of the problem
Before we start I want to note that since December we have torn apart over ten retail units of the Nokia 5800 – basically, we put them through a whole array of tests and experiments, in an effort to find out what the reason of breakdowns was. While one could argue whether we have tested enough phones to make any sort of competent conclusion, we have reached the point when we are no longer eager to spend money on these experiments, as no matter how many phones we try, the end result is always the same. The same defect manifests itself under similar circumstances in all units without exception, including those that were fixed by Nokia’s authorized service centers

[deleted post]Lol i have used other brand phones smart a$$ i just prefer Nokia cause it's easier to do things and i like the design and features
if you think i'm a fanboy why would i be making apps for the BB apps store and the Android store....you assume so much like the first time started replying to my posts
but like i said keep contribing to steve jobs chemo sessions
i like BB and the android OS there really to work on but OSx was never suppose to be Mobile at all and the fact that Unix/Linux is RAM based OS it will obviously run faster and smoother
that's why the iphone is fast cause Unix/Linux comes with no Drivers XD and you have to D/L everything
i'm honestly too smart for you dani you and your cut and paste postings
and have nothing really good to say except your 2 sense

AK, 01 Mar 2009its a rumour! ..ppl tryin to make stories out of nothing!
... moreUhm yeah, I called the NYC store and verified that information myself. Sales of the 5800 NAM are on hold until they resolve the issue. In fact the other website I linked has comments from someone else who did the same thing and was told they're trying to have the issue resolved by Tues or Wed of this week.
So perhaps you should READ FIRST before posting yourself.

Nokia is investigating reports of problems with its touchscreen 5800 phone in the US, just days after the mobile was launched.
The device has been removed from sale at two flagship stores in the US.
The problem is with connections to US 3G networks, BBC News has learned.
A spokeswoman for Nokia told BBC News: "A small number of devices are not connecting with 3G networks and we are looking through that right now."
She said the phone continued to be sold in "certain network areas".
At the New York and Chicago flagship stores only the European version of the Nokia 5800 is on sale.
Sales agents at the New York store are telling customers the phone has a "little issue" and they are "not being sold at all while the problems are looked into".
iPhone rival
The Nokia is being tipped as a rival to the Apple iPhone
Nokia launched the 5800 Xpress Music phone in the US last Friday and the device has been described as the firm's response to the iPhone. More than a million of the devices have sold already in Europe.
The European version of the 5800, which cannot access 3G networks in the US, is still being sold and is unaffected by the problem, BBC News understands.
In a statement Nokia said the issue was "a very isolated problem concerning only the North American market and is not specific to any other region or country".
It added: "Nokia is investigating the issue. Existing customers of the 5800 XpressMusic who experience 3G signa

And it is not just that! The iPhone is getting better and better with every free SW update and with thousands of apps coming out every month. Nokia can never compete with this.

Anonymous, 03 Mar 2009My wife's iphone is covered with 1 year warranty...at no ex... moreexactly! the user interface of apple products is so superior that people are willing to accept the so called missing features. many here will argue many points but it is clear that the Mac,iPod and iPhone interfaces are the reason for their popularity. and a good reason at that. No " 10 menu" clicking for me!
i will charge my iPhone battery daily in order to have the best interface available.
