have a red 5800 - but I'm using EURO1-BLACK. I like the theme that comes with it.
I'm also using the black theme, but I think it was ripped from one of the earlier firmwares. If i change my code to euro black, how do I get the latest black theme?

i posted in your other thread without looking here first, hope you enjoy the phone. May i ask what deal you got on the phone?
getting it as an upgrade on my Autopage Cell-C contract, have to pay in a bit.
But can't hold out any longer as the crappy D-900 i have had for the last 2 years is dying on me, since this weekend all speakers have stopped working on it.
Can't wait to get a decent phone!

anyway to get free GPS with this phone? 
anyway to get free GPS with this phone?
The phone has a built in gps reciever and comes pre installed with nokia maps and a six month navigation license. There is also a thread on this forum on how to install garmin xt on it for free. Why would you need an extra gps if you have the phone? The reciever is sometimes a bit slow but does a more than adequate job.

lol i know the phone has GPS, thats y im asking...I dont have any of that garmin crap so how would i go about getting hold of that stuff for free
.ps. i got a 8gb mem card and i still have 5 months free gps so im not in a hurry.
Haha okay didn't understand it that way. Use this thread: http://www.mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php?t=125806
It has all the needed instructions and i used the same thread and have installed it on multiple 5800s without much trouble. Hope it helps.

The next time you get a firmware update, it'll be included.

Also if you change your product code and plug into NSU, it should update using your cache (i.e. instead of downloading a new firmware update, it will use the curreny v31.0.101 cache in your NSU folder)

Bluetooth is the most compatible, can you select all your contacts in one go on the Samsung?
Or best is to synchronise your contacts with Outlook and then plug in your Nokia and resync
can send all contacts in one go as business cards from Samsung... will then have to save the business cards from nokia's inbox one by one though
actually did this for some contacts this morning as i am using a friends e65 until my 5800 arrives as my samsung has lost all speaker functions....
