From my experience, the easist way to tether your phone is via the Nokia PC Suite... works like a charm on my older Nokia :D

There are a few VPN apps and file server ones.

Can't remember, but look for the 5800 fansites.

How do I make album art show when playing a track?

The album is loaded, has artwork, but does not show up when playing a track..

I need an FTP app for the 5800 asap... Anyone know of any goodones?
 
Has any one in SA experienced the dreaded speaker failure due to humidity problems?
Or are we getting a "fixed" batch of 5800s in SA?

Nope. Not yet.

As far as I can tell, we have the European units.
I think it was the US units that had most of the speaker trouble..

That being said, my unit was made in November 2008.

Touch wood, no probs yet...

:)

How do you know when your unit was made?
Was it printed on the box?
 
I don't think the 2008/... is the date because I looked at a frinds Sony Ericsson C902 and the box said 2005/..; I don't think the C902 was manufactured in 2005 :rolleyes:
 
Type your IMEI number into this website, but I don't think the manufacturing date is part of the number... let me know if you find something.
 
Does anyone know whether it is possible to only display 1/2 contacts or 1/2 shortcuts in the separate home screens....? Does it really have to display 4 no matter what..? I know for contacts it will display eg. if you only added 1 it will only display 1 and then the grey button which you can add another contact from. Any ideas?

Nope you got me.

Also, how do you get the keypad to display while you on a call - in case you get to a call center and have to key in options...
At the moment you have to go through a few steps to let it show - for each call. By the time I get there I miss the options.

:/
