Going to be a long hop

                                    As the title brief, finally its time to change my mobile device but what is that hop?? i am talking about. Yes, the OS which the phone runs, my current device Nokia N73 Music edition runs on S60 3rd edition intial release and my new phone which is going to be Nokia 5800 XM runs on S60 5th edition. For better understanding please read this 

                                 Between the S60 3rd intial release and S60 5th edition there were S60 3rd edition Feature pack1(Nokia N82,E71,E63 etc..), S60 3rd edition Feature pack2 (Nokia N96, N79, N78,N86, E72 etc), i found N73 music edition was good for my purpose and didnt update to any of those devices and now i found it to be so outdated and boring also Nokia have stopped support for this device and releasing firmware updates 

Why Nokia 5800XM ??

Being a Nokia fanboy i was disappointed when other mobile phone makers like Samsung, LG etc releasing touchscreen phones well ahead of Nokia. Finally they broke the shackles out and released 5800XM full touchscreen device and the first to run S60 5th edition symbian OSv9.4 there were lot of problems with both hardware and software of this device which made it unstable and well known earpiece problem volume too low, worst case not working is the most annoying one, and since the OS version was new there were less third party apps for the device. Now the story is entirely different and every problem is addressed and there are plethora of apps available many are freeware, you can get some here

                          Till date this device is the only value for money phone packing all the features one would expect in a smartphone, the intial firmware of the device was very buggy and the recently released v31 seems to be stable overall the phone is zippy also Nokia have drastically reduced the price of this device. This phone was a bit of disappointment for those who bought it when it was launched and many of them were expecting Nokia to release a firmware update to make it stable and now it is stable and running great i am not going to waste any more time getting this one 

Secondary device :

                        It doesnt imply that i am going to dump my N73ME and get this one, i am going to use it as my secondary device it is still rock solid with no problems and the camera in it is one of the best 3.2MP ever fitted on a mobile device

I will post my 5800XM experience after playing around with it for sometime so watch out for this space

Thank you
