gonna get 5800XM 2maro! plz clear my doubt

[george101]

guys am gonna buy 5800XM 2maro after much searching, but i heard the early builds of 5800 suffer from some hardware faults like speaker problem and some have problems with camera. i also heard they are rectified in new builds but dont knw which1 exactly. i got to my nearest nokia priority and they have only those mfg in jan 09, are they defective? if yes which month shud i look for in the mfg date?

jan 09 is good enough ... cracking , incorrect display colours etc etc were noticed in some really early ones (source *www.symbian-freak.com/news/008/12/5800_quality_woes.htm ) ... but donot worry most of these issues have been taken care of ...

 

[george101]

are u sure? coz the jan ones come in v10 i suppose

 

[k4ce]

pretty sure ... one of my fren pre-ordered it ... he payed 21k for it ... his must be one of the earliest ones in india ... no issues ... so go ahead ... its better if u go to the 5800 owners thread and ask them if they have build quality issues wid their fones ... i'm sure that'll re-assure you ...

Speaker issues were rectified from mar ..so check for those devices which have mar as mfg date

[desiibond]

don't do any testing on that to find whether defective or not. Handle with care

just use it dont even think abt anything the false on the phone just use it ,, enjoy !!

 

[george101]

thanks for the warning guys. i wont do anything stupid

btw how many hours do i have to charge the battery for the first time, coz the dealer told me to charge continuously for 6hours while the manual says overcharging may lead to shorter battery life!

 

[damngoodman999]

Actually the older days wen i bought my phone they told to charge the first time for 8 hrs ,, i think i doesn't need it for new phones era especially for HIGH END phones !!


Dont worry install the softwares enjoy music & movies ,, i think the screen is better for watching videos

 

[george101]

the phone's amazing at first sight. its got 100 popular eng songs and 100 popular hindi songs pre-installed. so cool. loving the sound clarity

congrats! btw u need not worry!

there were some pieces that detected this problem due to earpieces being faulty. Nokia changed its earpiece suppliers in late January so therefore 5800s February 2009 onwards should be just fine.

even if you have a faulty earpiece. The simple solution to this problem is to hand over your 5800 to the Nokia Service Center and get the earpiece replaced.

enjoy your 5800 it's a rocking phone!
