      what does that mean if the 7th & 8th digit of the IMEI is 03 ? where is that made from cuase i only know about 01 this means your cell phone was manufactured in Finland which is very good and 00 this means your cell phone was manufactured in original factory which is the best quality.

          Hello Users,

          Its been a month now with the 5800Xm....i'd like to mention a few good n bad points for the future/existing users:

          1.The touchscreen is very good but not as "decorative" as the iphone....It is pretty responsive as well....but requires a more pressurized touch as compared to the Iphone !
          2.Being a music phone, i expected the sound and quality on the earphones to be louder and better....but never mind .. it is nearly excellent!
          You might want to consider a 3rd party music app for better results....:)
          3. The camera is among the most controversial topics of this phone....well..the daylight results are awesome and are at par with many other similarly equipped camera phones....so u will surely not regret taking pictures in day light...plus the auto focus helps a lot....
          Night shots are just "OK"...so u definitely might not want to take it out for a spin at night...even though it has a flash, a dual LED one...it really isnt enough for night time imaging....rest of the camera features work flawlessly...The video recording is pretty good as well..
          4. The GPS....well what I observed is...the Gps is excellent..sometimes it tends to drop the connection to the satellite....But its never a problem.
          You can use 3rd party Gps apps as well...
          5.WiFi works Flawlessly.
          6. browsing experience on the 5800Xm is nearly perfect...i rarely came across Lags during normal browsing.....It lags during Flash use in the browser (Youtube)....but rarely...

          Hope these points would help you to consider the nokia 5800XM for yourself !

          BottomLine - This is a great well equipped device as compared to its competitirs for Small Bucks!!!!!

                        Agree with Jay and Picturesbyme below, this is a great phone, esp in the $200+USD range. I just bought for $225+tax thinking I would try for a week and return it, but am amazed at features at this price point-- GPS and WiFi makes it a keeper for me. The touchscreen is surprisingly easy to use with finger tip. Is this a glass screen? Do I need a protector?

                          very poor camera. if you are into taking pictures (especially at night) i wont advice you to use 5800. its a music phone anyway so maybe thats a valid excuse. but then again its supposed to have a powerful camera because its 3.2 megapixel or something. quite disappointing.

                                  lengleng, 31 Aug 2009just bought the phone today..very nice... problem and ... moreI had the same issue. I did the following and it seemed to have fixed it.

                                  Go to Setting-Connectivity-Destinations

                                  Add your WiFi connection to "Internet" and "WAP" by selecting either of them and going to Options-New access point and check for available access points.

                                  Now in the browser select Options-Settings-General-Access point and set to always ask.

                                  Doing this allows you to choose the WiFi when you start the browser and stops it when you close the browser. This should take care of your issue.

                                    I have had this phone for about a month and have used it extensively. For the money, there is nothing like it. I will just mention a few thing about this phone since GSMArena has a full review and there is plenty of info available in this "forum".

                                    1. Interface - Sure its not as snappy or flashy as say an IPhone but it works and it makes since...it could be better, but the same could be said for most interfaces.

                                    2. Software - Ovi is a little short on Apps at the moment but, it is not the only source for apps. The are tons of apps available online, just do a search and you will find them. Plus a fair share of the Java apps actually work good on this phone.

                                    3. Camera - It works...not the best camera on a phone but a good one. If you don't carry a camera with you all the time this camera will suffice.

                                    4. Music Player - It's pretty good. Plays every song I upload to the phone. Sound quality through my Sony earbuds it great although the max volume could be a little louder. With a name like XpressMusic, it has to be good. Radio is excellent.

                                    5. GPS - I normally use Google Maps, but the Ovi Maps app is descent. The GPS lock fairly quickly most of the time and once locked it usually keeps the lock.

                                    6. Messaging - This would be one of my few gripes. The included messaging apps are just OK. SMS works but it should be threaded. Email works OK but when you have multiple accounts it has to connect individually to each of them. Nokia @ Email app (not included) works much better but does not send notifications to the interface, only a ring notification.

                                    7. Phone - It works and requires little thinking...the ways its supposed to be. Great job!

                                    8. Input - The QWERTY keyboard is pretty descent, it is nicely sized and is fairly comfortable to use given the somewhat small display (for touch screen). I rarely use the other options unless I am forced to (i.e. in Ovi Maps you can use any method expect QWERTY), the keypad works has good has a physical keypad and the mini QWERTY works well with the stylus. The handwrighting method is a novelty for me and I rarly ever use it.

                                    9. Internet - The 3G connections is quite snappy and wifi works pretty well. The included browser is pretty good, although it could be a little more intuitive. I have tried the Opera browser on this phone, it works pretty well, the speed of the browser is amazing and the pages render pretty good...but the touch controls are small and sometime link do not respond the first (or second) time.

                                    10. Build - this phone is quite solid for being made of plastic. This past weekend I managed to drop it for the first and second (hopefully the last) time and both time it took it in strides and show only the slightest signs of a fall. The guy who sat on his phone should not be allowed to use this phone...he needs a phone made of stainless steel. The overall layout is wonderful...I love it.

                                    The Nokia 5800 = big bang for little bucks!!!
