Well, I got this hp from my wife as part of my 2009 birthday present :). The reason I chose this hp in the first place are due some few reasons behind: P, L, C. In Cantonese, they meant => Peng (Cheap/Affordable), Leng(Nice to see), Cheng(Capable). It is part of the objective of this site to share with you on some of the ways to make a wise decision. I have always been longing to have a multi-purpose phone with integrated GPS , Wifi, Radio & 8g micro-SD memory card . On the market, there is a lot of varieties ranging from Omnia to Iphone but the they do not meet my PLC criteria.
The phone specs are be found Here:
The price is RM1320 from Prangin Mall, Penang. Email me personally if you want to know which shop in specific :)
To add, the OS (Operating system) used in Nokia smartphone is kind of standard which is Symbian OS (Operating System) - S60, 5th edition with touch screen ability. Just google “Nokia 5800 free application” & you will able to find plenty of them ready to be downloaded & among some that I found it interesting & useful are:
1. Nokia PC Suite: http://www.nokia.com.my/get-support-and-software/download-software/nokia-pc-suite
Basically you can do all your phone’s task using you pc instead of pressing the screens with usb or Bluetooth connection (Nokia 5800 does not come with Infra red capability)
2. Garmin Mobile XT with free map download at : http://www.malfreemaps.com/
Nokia 5800 comes with integrated GPS (GPS + A-GPS)
3. Free download Games in official Nokia Hong Kong site: http://www.nokia.com.hk/A41437256
Don’t forget to scroll down within the page as there are more than 30 free applications for you to play with (Big2master, Mahjong…etc)
4. Fring – IM, Chatting, VOIP application in 1-Application (MSN, Skype, ICQ, Twitter, Facebook, Google Talk…etc): http://www.fring.com/
5. Torch light functionality: http://symbian.smashpop.net/uploads/PhoneTorch.sisx
Few things I think the phone can be further improved:
1. Reduce response time when you tilt your phone to horizontal mode (takes about 3-4seconds) to 1-2seconds
2. Increase more shortcut keys from 4 to user defined figure. (Only 4 allows for now)
Other than the above..the phone just works excellent.
P/S:
I just bought a china Made N*kia BH-108 BT headset (RM30), Multi-purpose car charger (RM14.90) & Holder Mount (RM9) in April’09 Penang PC Fair.
My new toy: Nokia 5800 Express Music

The Begining...
They said you will never be too late to start anything & with that in mind, I am leaping first step to start this blog.
For my small little corner, what I intended to do is to share my point of view & build a sharing resource around it for readers to comment & extend or enhance the post. Sounds like a noble intention
At last, I know for sure I will have at least one loyal fan -> My ever loving Wife-Marilyn & looking forward to have more of you all joining the discussion…
