Sounds like you might have a buggy card, mate. Is your theme installed on your SD card? (I make a point of installing themes in main memory for stability)Maybe i just got a bad one
On my last 'crash', was busy downloading a podcast then went to OVI and download an app. Right after the app downloaded the theme switched to standard, homescreen icons changed, couldn't access data on card...weird

I use the memory card as much as possible, with the limited space on the phone memory, i find not having space on the phone memory affects the phone negatively.
Same here. I try to keep everything on the memory card.

Thought as much, yeah all my content is installed to the Memory Card.
Any places you recommend getting a new one, preferably a 16GB? Brand?
Before you decide to buy a new card. I also thought a while back my memory card was busted, but I decided to play around (quite a few posts back).
I connected the phone to my laptop and used standard Windows Checkdisk (right clicking on memory card and choosing properties>tools> error checking). I scanned for file system errors and bad sectors.
It took quite a while, but removed phone and tested. All my songs and data and apps that didn't work for that short period was fine afterwords. Haven't had any issues since.
This was Windows 7

An additional 8GB wont be too bad either

For those that haven't noticed, connecting to your PC in mass Storage mode makes the card unavailable to the phone -you may have noticed this already - your theme reverts to default while in mass storage mode. While I install everything that I can to memory card, themes I use regularly go onto the main memory for speed and availability. Be sure to test the theme on the memory card first though - you can't remove main memory and reboot if it's a bad app.

Yep, IIRC I did the checkdisk in Mass Storage Mode

And your message store changes back to phone memory, pain in the arse to say the least, i prefer to switch the phone off and pull out the miniSD and stick it in my transcend miniSD to USB converter
But 99.9% of the time i use the Ovi Suite folder sync to get stuff to my tube. (Only v1.1 though, functionality is missing in 2.0 for some odd reason)

I have been running the Zylam redifined menu on my 5800 for about 3 months now with no hassels.
Nice. I'd like to get the 5530 homescreen to work on mine. Perhaps I should look into it.

I don't mean to hijack your thread but you are the guys with hands on experience of the 5800 and I would appreciate your comments.
I can't decide between the 5800 (Series60v5) and the HTC Tattoo (Android1.6 Donut).
