I think yes.. I've planned to buy a nokia 5800 then N97 and finally ended up buying Google Nexus One..
Why you end up with google nexus one ? how much it cost and from where you purchased it...I purchased 5800, G1 and now n97..planning to get nexus one..but not able to find a trusted supplier.
Visited gaffar to purchase Nexus but there rates are so high..even they are selling iphone 4g for 55k..dam

One friend got for me from US. It cost me 27.5K. It's really an amazing device.

Yeah wildfire is nice decision. But its specifications are very low at price of 16K.

Hi Guyz...
Im posting after such a long tym....
To tell you the truth I have the nokia 5800XM from past 6months...The phone is working fine except random crashes during web browsing...
Installed Opera Mini and that problem seems to have disappeared for now...But one thing i dont lyk about this phone is the interface..Feels little lame....
Bcoz:
1. SYMBIAN OS (Checked out Android on Nexus and HTC Desire...Much much better). I'm currently on the latest V5 update but still........
2. No GIF wallpapers
3. Resistive touch
But looking at the price the phone is still good with good music playback. However i dont use it a music player as i listen my songs mostly on my ipod.
Btw, have any of u had any suggestions or review on the SPB Mobile Shell. Few days back i saw one of my friends installing the same on 5800 and it looks just like a HTC Hero interface...
Eats a lot of RAM though...
Handy taskman stats reported only 20mb left after the Shell software started up.
Attached below is the screenshot:
*a.imageshack.us/img39/6471/spbsenseedittionv2.jpg
Nice interface and widgets...even a 3D widget...But pricey on RAM and this phone doesn't have too much RAM to spare!!!
So wat do you think?
Cheers,
Cosmos

@roonie
I don't know why this thread is not subscribed..lol
I think you're using the first option of pin to get the phone locked..if you're using that and you don't remember the PIN..ask your operator at 121 to provide the PUK no to you..and you can change the pin from the PUK no (eight digits-its like master reset-correct me if i'm wrong)
If you're looking to lock the phone..this options comes under 5th "lock code" menu where u have reached for phone security..sorry I don't have the phone with me to provide the exact screenshot..as it's with my friend developing some CFW's testing on it!! You can lock with this option and the lock code by default is 12345.
There are many options/apps for locking the phone like phone guard etc..they keep running on background..whenever a SIM is changed..they send u a message from new Sim to your old Sim no..which will be set by you.
The other options, you can set a default code for text message "remote phone locking feature" available under options- security settings-phone and Sim settings if I remember. By enabling this feature, you can set some text/numeric message like "digit" or whatever you like..if you will send a message to your own number containing words "digit" it will auto lock.
This comes handy if you lost your phone and you have an alternative phone with you..send a message to your own number with the content you saved and it will auto-lock.
This is also useful like my friend is using my phone now, just for fun, If I send a message to his number containing my password as "digit" it will be locked automatically
@Cosmos
I am using the SPB Mobile Shell and no issues with me except opera..coz opera itself eats lots of ram..if you are looking for good interface..you should give this one a try!
There are some prebuild SPB Mobile Shell available customized by users that uses less amount of ram with more stuff ..give it a try !!

very minor update...I hope it can be installed without formatting the whole phone
Sujoyp- Never ever go for the change log posted by Nokia..I remember v40, the kinetic scrolling feature was posted as minor update or was not included..though when people update it..it was a blast
Nokia never share the actual change logs..but there are some major improvements, and more to come as per the feedback of 5800xm users :
Here are the few changes which are not posted by Nokia:
- Vibration levels in order, even more than that - vibration became more clear!
- RDS is working again!
- Kinetics slightly improved
- The performance was in my opinion better than congestion or previous versions
Yes..you can change the product code to update the firmware, I am not sure if it gonna work for Indian APAC as of now, because people who are using old product codes like 0575590 (Correct me If I'm wrong)..are still using v30. The firmware files are available @various forums if you can update the firmware through jaf etc.

the update file is not available for my phone yet...
BTW I started SPB Shell 3.5 and it looks awesome...I customized it according to my use now its working perfectly
I don't know why Nokia do this to us (Indians)..I am using v60 (CFW) though the v40 is still not available for my 5800xm product code XXX(don't remember though).
Do post some screenshots of your mobile..I would like to see your style
BTW : Another major change : Web flash is upgraded in the new firmware v51 so that we can see flash 9 supported streaming live video's from BBC CNN etc perfectly.
