I have recently dusted off my 5800 and updated to the latest firmware over the air (ota). The download was a suprising 4 mb where when I have uswd pc suite it has downloaded over 100mb. Why the latter cannot use the small files, 4mb is better than 100mb over 3g when considering costs!
The download was quick and within ten minutes the phone had rebooted, installed and retained my data.
The touch seems more responsive and web works better but it still has some way to go. When browsing on some sites it takes ages to render them sometimes just as long without pictures being displayed. As I use a phone for internet this is still not acceptable so the phone will be switched off again until the next update.
My e63 which cost less than the 5800 has more storage and ram and works better for web. Whilst I keep going back to the 5800 as I love the touch interface I will not get rid of the phone just yet. There are other browser such as opera mini, ucweb or bolt but these don't use the touch interface too well. That just leaves nokia to pull their socks up and get on and fix it or opera to come up with a better solution.
The 5800 like the n95 in its infancy will require several more updates to fix the storage and memory issues. But for now I will wait and see.....

hi craig,
ReplyDeleteglad to have found your blog!
I have a N95 and with a 4GB microSD HC class 6 transcend card it gives me HELL to play mp3 files. when i remove the card fone works fine! i can play the mp3s ok through "file manager" application (one at a time) on the N95, just NOT through "music player"!constantly hangs. what is wrong? i put the music as all flat files under the sounds folder. all mp3s are in vbr format. all have clean id3 tags. is it an id3 tag issue? or a sd card issue?
any ideas? its driving me batty. and consequently i dont feel too happy about my $499 N95! i have reformated and tried...same results.
thanks
kiers.
