Lol...:) If the 100 and some page Iphone thread isn't stickied then there's no chance for this one :D

Well if anyone finds anything interesting then I'll add it to the first one/two posts. Some of those themes just look awesome! I can't wait!

Didn't have to change anything.

Just plugged the USB cable in, run NSU and it picked up v20. Took about 5 minutes. 120MB+ file.

Thats excellent for us because AFAIK the vodacom subscribers were still stuck on V11 without the option of upgrading to V20 without any issues.

Also could you see any change in the responsiveness of the handset after the update or did you pretty much update immediately..?
 
Hopefully a rewrite.... to get rid of some of the bugs mentioned in the GSMARENA review.
 
Guys, my Nokia 5800 has just been delivered :D.....i'm so excited and can't wait to leave work and go play with it.
I'm really impressed with MtnDirect, i was only expecting it only tomorrow.
 
I've converted a few movies with Allok iPod Video Converter (Mpeg4) and the video playback is awesome on the 5800. Sound quality is also excellent.

The display quality of the 5800 is also very impressive. I used Garmin XT last night on my way home to see if everything is working fine. And yes, it works just as good as on the Omnia. The picture quality is much better than the Omnia though. It is brighter and the colours just look much better.

I also tested the wifi last night and the speed is awesome.

Will give some more info within the next few days.

Hey Piesang,

After you did the update, did you also get a "System Error" when clicking on the Search: Internet and My Content button (on the Shortcuts Bar Homescreen)?
