My 5800 now seems to be plagued by the infamous display problem. All of a sudden the screen just becomes blank & flickers with vertical coloured lines. After I switch the side lock bar a couple of times, the screen gets restored.

Anybody who faced this problem can throw some light on this?

Would request to give me the reference number for your post. 87 pages is too long to search :)

In a nutshell,can u tell me whether the problem is hardware or firmware?

And if you had a similar problem, is it now resolved?

from extensive reading ive figured out its a software issues which casues the hardware to fail permanently, thats what ive read on some forums that the software update *eventually* messes up with something to do with the screen and leaves it with this permanent issue. the only fix is to replace the screen....

however i've consolidated myself with a 'theme' which does the trick for me and doesnt cause the issue 98% of time. I only face the issue on sms alert / miss call alert and alarm, apart from that its fine. Sooner or later u have to give it to Nokia to fix it , the reason why im extending it is cause my phone was bought from abroad, so i will get it fixed end of 2009.

if u would like to check if the theme works the same wonder for u ,

download this ....

p.s : i started with the issue on upgrading from v11 to v20 and now im on v30 still with the same issue. this issue doesnt cause any interference with video playback / recording / camera picture quality / capture etc....very weird :@
 
Thanks !!!

Any idea whether a screen replacement can be done over the counter or will I have to give it to them for a couple/few days?

depends actually - can take hours / 1 day / 1 week / or the usual pathetic 1 month :@ .........or if ur lucky , right over the counter !!.....but nokia is aware of this issue , also the rush of the 5800's with this problem has already exhausted so they should have it in stock...best is u leave it on a monday , but todays already over so do it tomorrow itself so that u can get it by saturday....else if the theme works, keep it pending and do it monday 1st thing next week.....

^^
phones speed is good, not much effected by free card space like those n73 and n70. using 16gb card with 200mb free space and speed is still good.
 
5530 no information regarding release .
- no 3G
- small screen
- 4gb card
- poor batt.(compare to 5800)
- no GPS (not sure)

+ better looks
+ improved UI
+ for much less price
