No, nobody has ported Maemo 5 to our 5800s (yet!) but symbian theme designer Mandeep and FoneArena have released Maemo Arena, a symbian theme heavily inspired by the UI elements of Maemo 5. Now only if some hacker would port the Maemo 5 OS to the 5800s, would we get the features like kinetic scrolling and skype integration on our 5800s but till then we have to be happy with this Maemo Arena theme, which we have to confess is as close as...

Mobile Codes are not anything new but still there is a large Nokia 5800 audience who may not be familiar with it. As per Nokia – “'Mobile codes' are codes in the same way as ordinary barcodes are, but their matrix structure can hold more information.

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.

Seems like Nokia realised that many users are not clear on the direction and the app availability for email, social network and messaging on Nokia devices.

Nokia Messaging needs no introduction for 5800ers but guess what, the Messaging service just got better with the service now opening doors to new avenues.

We are again going to do some experimentation with our Nokia 5800 phone, don’t worry it will mess your phone. I have seen a large number FM transmitters being sold on eBay and Amazon for hefty prices. How would it sound if I actually save all your cost? Of course, it sounds nice. But, how are we going to do it? I believe most of us have WiFi routers installed and even Nokia 5800 has a WiFi and we connect our laptops/PC over WiFi. So, do you see the connection – ‘WiFi’? Yes, we will use WiFi to broadcast our music...
