mhyap1 0 Report post Posted May 27, 2009 Lilian,am not quite sure on the functionality of the phone as i didn't play with it. :Pmy hubby bought it for about RM 1.4k inclusive the garmin GPS installation. that's about 1 1/2 months ago. my sis bought the exactly the same thing for about RM 1280 with free 3pcs of screen protector. and this is about 2 or 3 weeks ago. both of them bought original.

yvonne118 0 Report post Posted May 27, 2009 Lilian,I just bought this phone 3 weeks ago. SMS is fast, i like their touch screen feature, it's quite sensitive. There is a camera button at the side, the response time is quite fast too. Free 1000 songs from a webite, but take time to download one song by song and the songs are very limited. I especially like the padlock button which just located at the side, just slide down to unlock and lock, easy peasy. I bought at Digi centre which is slightly more exp compare to outside, because of my phone voucher i have to purchase from there. RM1399 original.

wsyrinrin 0 Report post Posted May 28, 2009 Hi All,I bought one as present for my husband last week price was RM1399 with Free nokia bluetooth original set. so far i find the phone is quite good & friendly use. I was regret that i bought E66 abt 5 mths ago coz if to compare with 5800... 5800 is much more better in function, software support & price also CHEAPER.....Just an extra information for those who intend to buy do ask the sales of the software version of the phone coz there are old stock which not allow to be upgrade.

Andre 0 Report post Posted May 30, 2009 Dont buy into those salesman trick saying that older phone cant be upgraded and such. There is no such thing. In fact, manufacturer rarely make any alteration to the phone once it finalise the design to manufacturing. This is why you see Nokia selling N73 and then releasing N73 ME to differenciate the two. Nowadays manufacturers released software upgrade online so that user can DIY the upgrade process. Its faster and more convinient but the most important thing is that they save money in doing so.

yvonne118 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2009 Hi Lilian,Sorry, i did not realise your msg till today. I'm having slightly longer nail, i think it is easier to use finger nail to tap on the screen. Semetimes i find difficulties right after nail cut, finger tip could be a bit harder to touch. I'm using touch screen feature to sms. My previous phone was an old phone no touch screen feature.. forgot the model.. hehe.. but it was nokia too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yvonne118 0 Report post Posted June 16, 2009 My hubby is using Samsung Omnia, I have another Blackberry Bold and Curve. Compare to all i still prefer Nokia 5800. Speaking of features, Nokia has the best. But i have some complain about their software installation CD. I have Ipod MP3 player, where i used to store some image and video file besides mp3. I love their software very user friendly, easy installation at one go. But this Nokia 5800 is very tedious, i myself is in IT line, but i find it is a bit complicated to use compare to others. It takes very long to install, and u have to choose components one by one. After installation, some erros will prompt out say cannot find the file. Reboot and install few more times, then it works. Imagine, if a non IT savy or aged uncle auntie who are not very good in it, how are they going to install it? This phone seems designed for youngster only i would say. Whenever i download a song and sync to my nokia 5800, it will display in my ringtones. It is very very tedious when i want to select one as my ringtones, cause the list is very very long. Imagine i have about 10GB to store mp3. If i fully utilise the space for mp3, how long the list would be? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lilian 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2009 Hi Yvonne, yes i understand your feeling & comment.that is what i worry, i worry of the phone to give me trouble, as i am the type of person i like the things very fast & easy, very lazy / mang chang to slowly settle all this hassle. the software you mentioned is to keep the photos? as the purpose i want to change the phone is 1) shotting photos very fast (currently using SOny ericson cybershot, very slow,when i wanted to shoot,my son already run to another place) 2) to watch movie i downloaded 3) to surf net everywhere i go where has the wifi available4) sms very easy & fastbut 1 thing i still hesitate to change to Nokia5800 is that it is music phone, which i not really interested to, and i dont think i will keep any MP3 songs, as the purposes i want is only the above. With the purposes above, am i correct to change this phone or any other with the price maximum RM1000?pls advise Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yvonne118 0 Report post Posted June 17, 2009 Hi Lilian,The software is to transfer photo/mp3/video from phone to the software, and vice versa. It just take longer time to install, about the software wise, play few times you will get how to make it works. Even now whenever i plug in my phone by USB cable, there is an error says file missing, but the software still running with no problem. So i just ignore the error msg. I dunno whether the rest of the users got encounter such problem as mine or not. I still prefer the ipod software - iTunes, easy to use and learn to use. 1) shooting is quite fast, quality also not bad. 2) I never watch movie before, just try to use phone to record video.3) Never use this phone to surf net, cause usually i use blackberry to do that.4) sms is quite fast and user friendlyYes, this phone is design for listening to mp3, the quality is quite good as well. You can consider other model with lower price since a lot of other nokia phones can match with your requirement. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
