Improvements?

Don’t get me wrong. I love my Nokia 5800 XpressMusic. It took me five years to upgrade my phone simply because I have not found a phone suitable for my requirements. That is, until I saw theNokia 5800 on a blog post. I read it and it was quite unbelievable.

But just like any product, there are good things and shortcomings.

So we have developed a wish list of features that could still be part of an upcoming firmware update (fingers crossed) not only forNokia 5800 but also for other Nokia Phones. Here are some of the major cravings that I want to have in my Nokia 5800 phone.

Kinetic Scrolling

When Apple introduced the iPhone, the phone industry went crazy. When they debut this new piece of technology, we all salivated when we saw Steve Jobs swiped the touch screen and the display scrolled up with such fluid motion. I still remember the people cheering with astonishment. Folks, we have been introduced to the kinetic scrolling.

Kinetic scrolling is a phone feature where you flick the screen in the direction of choice and it will scroll continuously in a fluid motion. Image the “Price is Right” roulette moving up or down. Traditionally, we need to either press an “Up” or “Down” key and move one section at a time. Quite time consuming. Kinetic scrolling helps making things faster as you access your contacts or messages.

The Nokia 5800 has a touch screen similar to the iPhone. But it still uses the traditional section scrolling. Phone owners are hoping this will be part of a major upgrade soon. Why the folks in Nokia cannot include this in the update is still a mystery since they have been able to do it in the upcoming Nokia N900 phone.

Improved Camera

When I found out that this unit has a 3.2 megapixel camera with a Carl Zeiss lens, I said that it would be a great camera phone. This is the same lens used in video cameras. However, I was deeply disappointed at the picture quality of the Nokia 5800 phone. It was grainy and had problems in dim places. The photos have so much noise that it would be a sin to take them. The flash does help but not much. You can still see the imperfections.

Now, I do not know if a firmware upgrade will address this concern. Mostly, this is a hardware issue. Yet Nokia should also do something about it. Improve the camera software or tweak something inside that can influence better looking pictures.

Memory

Now, 81MB is not enough to run a lot of applications. Of course, a firmware update will not make the hardware memory increase in capacity. But could a firmware upgrade help in juggling the memory needs of the Nokia 5800 applications?

These are just some improvements I want to see in my Nokia 5800 XpressMusic phone. With the highly anticipated debut of the Nokia N900, there is so much buzz on how it has improved hardware wise. But don’t leave the Nokia 5800 behind. It still has plenty to offer to those who bought the unit. I will also need to select from mobile phone deals a new one as mine is just finishing.

Are still find is there screensaver on the Nokia 5800? Screensaver is such a nice function for phone, but how pitty 5800 not include this. However our dedicated app reviewing partner, MMMOOO, the developer of the rocketing MyPhone-turn Nokia phones into iPhone, provides a very special .sis installer file which called Slide Show, actually i former know this function under theme section, but when my real life photos goes in the the homescreen with S60 frame ui, the background is so ugly.

However, this slide show is very unique, it meet seamlessly well with my 5800 as you can see from the photo above. The slide show has a very nice content targeting, it's called: 9 Fruits: Equip yourself with the ultra wisdom & inspirational 9 Fruits from Bible. Each motto word will slideshow according to your own setting in homescreen. It hints people keep in wisdom and holly, really impressive!

How t o apply slide show? Actually, you can use any photos of yours to apply in slideshow, but normally the photos will be display well on the homescreen just as i mentioned above. However you can ps your photos to achieve a nice fit. And MMMOOO 9 Fruits slide just is a good case. They even done this in .sis installer, not messed .jpg images, very convenient for your installation. The method from 9 Fruits:

• Choose the right resolution file to install
• Go: Setting-General-Personalisation-Theme-Wallpaper-Slide Show choose '9Fruits' related images

You can download this nice slide show in directly FREE from Ovi Store with easy installation. And to match this slideshow well you may use a dark style theme, and you can get it at Ovi as well. So the last tip of using slide show, you shall find a theme match with your slide show images style.

Maybe it slipped passed you but Nokia just recently updated the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic’s firmware to version 31.0.101. This has been a long time coming since it’s last firmware update dated July 2009.

Currently only available in Europe and Asia, this newest firmware update has included updates on your phone including an advanced e-mail application, a better version of Ovi Maps 3.0, an easier navigation experience, and bug fixes.

Frankly, there aren’t much graphical changes on this update unlike the previous update. It is claimed that there are bug fixes done which should always be part of any firmware update. Now to which bug fixes were resolved, Nokia did not specify it.

Also, it was mentioned that there is a more advanced e-mail application and Ovi Maps 3.0. Upon checking Ovi Maps, the interface does look cleaner and has great looking icons.

Update your Nokia 5800 XM firmware

This is not the update everyone is waiting for. For months, Nokia 5800 users have been teased with the kinetic scrolling found in other Nokia units, which should have been part of the normal features of the Nokia 5800. Until now, we have not seen any trace of this kind on the updates.

Another feature we are waiting for is the appearance of widgets on the Nokia 5800’s main display, which is similar to the upcoming Nokia N900 phone due November 2009. What these widgets will do is similar to desktop widgets in Windows or Mac OS X. They will display different information such as time, dates and RSS feeds. However, with the 81MB internal memory of the Nokia 5800, this may be hard to pull. Having widgets present will eat up memory space and will affect the performance of your phone.

We are still in a wait and see mode. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that Nokia didn’t forget one of their most sought after devices.

Now you can be the hero, in your brain storm or kill time as the smart & brave snow leopard in the background.

MMMOOO brings this game to your mobile phone! It's called Memo Deduction. You have to figure out what color each memo is with the hint of pin.

Game logic:

Deductive out the all the memos' color according to the hints; Click each memo to select a color or leave blanks, click done; Red pushpin numbers means the 'color & position are both right' numbers, the black means the 'color is right but position is wrong' ones.

3 levels:

• Easy: 4 memos, 4 colors, 12 chances
• Normal: 5 memos, 5 colors, 10 chances
• Difficult: 5 memos, 6 colors, 8 chances

the 3rd level is really hard to figure out!
