Thanks for the suggestions guys will try them out.

A few apps which i use with my phone:

Total Recall: Call recording software. A must have if you are in business.

Google Maps: This one needs no introduction.

Level: I use this a lot as i am in furniture manufacturing job and this helps me a bit in finding out the correct levels of floors.

Workout timer: A perfect software for fitness freaks. A must for doing HIIT's and Tabatha intervals.

PC Remote: A little buggy but a decent software for using your phone as a remote for the PC. Works great while watching movies on your PC. Still i feel nothing betas the remote software which comes with iphone/ipod touch and works in sync with itunes. Works in Wifi instead of Bluetooth.

Shazam: A must for any music lover.

Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition comes to lead your way - GSMArena.com news

 

[NeViLLe]

Anyways, the housing/ body casing looks good...

I'm think of gettin a full black housing off ebay... but I'm waiting/searching for a full brushed metal housing casing... has anyone come across such I thing?

Garmin MobileXT...hyeah:

I have used Garmin. But its maps are too old..around 5years old

Easiest way to check, search for Vodafone and u will not get any reasult..but you will get when u search for Hutch!

Is there any Voice navigation software based on Google Maps(like XGPS on iPhone)?

Also any VNC client for 5800 to control PC?

i was having the same problem , but it was solved when i went to nokia care center for firmware update , as they disassembled and reassembled my cell to check for any internal damage , during this process the creaking sound was removed.

i suggest u to go to nokia care center too:hap2:

Update on my phone repair:

Received my phone back from Nokia Care yesterday after exactly 14 days. So far so good.

The Nokia Care guy told me that the display has been replaced. However it still has my scratchguard which I had put on. Does this mean that the Nokia Care guy is lying & the display has not been changed? Or can it be that the scratchguard was removed & put back again? I think these scratchguards can be reused.

Any pointers?

By the way the phone has come back with a hard reset with v30. I now have the email notifications on the home screen which are not visible if you upgrade without hard resetting !!

dont worry dude, nokia doesnot change the panel unless you buy a new panel. so panel remains the same only the internal parts are changed

 

[paddydevil]

do we get 5800 new panel.

i have blue panel and i love the looks of the black panel...

the panel is not the screen, if u see some vids on youtube its clearly evident the outer layer is NOT the screen panel.... the screen assembly is entirely different and is beneath the actual thing u use to navigate on the phone.
