Nokia 5800 XpressMusic - good features and defects
For example, charge the battery for 8 hours continuously for the first time (otherwise, the “new” battery life will fade quicker than suppose).
Then, transfer all the contacts, messages, notes, calendar entries, etc, from the old to new phone. Finally, customize the settings for personal feel.
However, with Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, you might need one extra, unusual step – remove the bundled 8GB microSD memory card and format the phone with
After phone restarts, configure the country, date and time. Then, power off the phone, reinsert the microSD memory card, power on the phone again and you’re done.
What will happen if you’ve not done this “unusual” step?
Well, you will likely suffer the “expired certificate” nightmare whenever install Adobe Reader LE 2.5 (trialware) from Nokia Download! application and most of the wonderful Symbian freeware and games from Nokia HK website.
If you already have this Nokia touchscreen phone for days or weeks and frustrated with the annoyed message that says “Certificate may not yet be valid, is expired or phone’s date setting may be incorrect”, you’ve no choice but to go through this “silly” process.
Unless, you’re ready to give up installing additional Symbian freeware and games that make this touchscreen-based Nokia phone even attractive than the pricy Nokia N96 (or the bulky Apple iPhone).

I encountered the “expired certificate” problem on Nokia 5800 that bundle a 8GB microSD card inserted to the phone out of box, running firmware version 11.0.008 (software version date 09-12-2008, custom version 11.0.008.blue.01).
If you happen to have this Nokia touch touch baby with the same configuration of mine, you likely have the same “expired certificate” bug that kept me nervous for days.

Goodday, I am trying to download mxit and facebook onto my Nokia 5800. But when I do this my phone says insufficient memory and I do have a 4 gig memory card in the phone. Please any suggestions might help.
Thanks

I guess some of the installed apps pre-occupy memory storage.
If you have Ovi Maps installed, can you try this and let me know if it helps:
1) Open Ovi Maps, go to Settings and then Maps
2) Reduce the Maximum memory used.
To check the memory card usage:
1) Click the menu key (center; white color key)
2) Click options, Memory details, and then Memory card.
Good luck.
Goin to do it right now.
THANKS THANKS THANKS ALOT.

Press the white button (middle key) until “Open Applications” pops up.
You should only have Home Screen and Menu icons there. If there are more than that, those additional programs running at background could be responsible for your case. Otherwise, get a new battery for test.
