    Jett, 16 May 2010Pare Nuwan, what can you say about the software update i... moreDear Jett,

    No brother... I'm not quiet... The thing is, I feel like I'm no longer needed here... And I'm too busy with my job as well as few other things..

    Yeah... I'm also waiting for the firmware update... But I'm bit nervous about it because I feel I may loose all the applications I've installed so far due to the firmware update... (There is a possibility..) If it happened, then I'll not be able to install them again even though I have the applications... Because the new firmware will not be hackable most probably...

    So far I'm very much OK with firmware V 20.0.080... Seems Nokia also thinks that way.. It's a pretty bug free firmware... (Very few bugs...) However I miss 'Kinetic Scrolling in Main Menu'... And there are minor bugs to be fixed... But for those, I don't wanna loose 'Hacking' ability.. as V 20 is completely hackable..! Now you can imagine... "Hacking" is my most important fact... SO... I wouldn't wish for a new firmware update that much... You get what I'm saying... Right...?

    Here is my facebook link...

    (All the photos of my recent albums were taken from Nokia 5530 Xpress Music... Some people wouldn't believe... But that's true.. Today also I had a great trip with my brother... You can see the photos.. All of them were taken from my mobile... I took 250 photos from a single charge.. While using the phone for other purposes as well...! Sometimes I really don't want to complain about the battery..)

      six_stringer, 15 May 2010Brother nuwan, Hey bro..i got my phone hacked already an... moreDear six_stringer,

      Installing all the applications in the memory card, you have done the correct thing... My advice also is to install all the applications in your memory card... Not in phone memory... It's the safest thing to do... And best thing to do..

      Regarding the website you told me... I've never tried that one.. I was always OK with www.dotsis.com... (Though it was showing this annoying 'server is busy' message past few weeks...! Seems now they've solved the problem...)

      I trust www.dotsis.com and so far I've found nothing wrong in that website... However I'll try what you said and let you know later...

      Between TTPod and 360ting... I like the latter more... Due to it's nice interface and very good frequency response... You also try and check that out by yourself..

                              [deleted post]hmm.....you cant expect much of a phone of that price. So.. saying that its crap is not justified.
                              if you want all sort of gadgets and goodies to go alongside your phone, just go to a store and ask for the high end section will ya!!!!

                              my opinion is that its really worth its price. i got it on sales @ 200 Australian dollars and i was like "omg i have to buy that!!"(replacing my 3 year old phone)

                              sooo to anyone who wants to buy a "cheap" phone with nice specs and good multimedia capabilities(excluding the kinda restricted video player in terms of codecs( you can download others anyway)), i would recommend this one.
                              however you should be aware that it freezes from time to time (coz nokia is still a crybaby in touchscreen things LOL) and sometimes when yr not in the mood, it gets really annoying.just tolerate it LOL :)
