NOKIA 5800 Tips Tricks & Apps Thread.....

anyone else noticed the iphone-like sliding to answer calls?

also what's the gps surprise? got google maps a few days ago, puts nokia/ovi maps to shame (i don't use it as in car navigation though).

:) Enjoy it.

Download the Nemesis Suite (link in this thread, methinks), update your product code, download the latest Nokia Software Updater, connect and update.
 
I was expecting more from the update for the homescreen - something like the N97 where you can put apps on the screen. What's currently there seems like an updated version of the contacts homescreen that we had before.
or am I missing something?

And also the touch vibrate seems to have been improved :).

Ovi Suite can synchronise your phone calendar

You have to use the Contact List under settings for the new homescreen.

Does anyone know how to remove the Add Contact button once i've added the contacts i want?
 
soo has anyone managed to get a mp4/xvid movie to play on their 5800? without converting, or even using a convertor except for super convertor?
