Suppose the Nokia 5800 technical spec is trusted, then this smartphone is using resistive type of touchscreen. With reference to Embedded.com on How To Calibrate Touch Screens, a device with resistive-type touch screen almost always require to apply calibration algorithm before it is used for the first time.
Over the time, the touchscreen might have to recalibrate for better touch precision. If you press 1 but it activates 2 in the numeric keypad, then it is time to perform touchscreen calibration.

I have just got my Nokia 5800 recently and i worked fine for a while. but then suddenly it would not turn on. i mean by that i can hear the nokia starting tone, but nothing appears on the screen?
Are there any solutions do this? or do i need to buy/return it?
Thank to your post now I know about calibration.
I am using Remote Desktop software SymRDP for S60 5th on my Nokia N97 phone. After calibration it works even more smooth now!
The step by step to calibration is great and I think that would solve my problem of touching one key and keys to the right responding (ie press 1 and 3 gets selected instead) – but my touchscreen is so bad I can’t get as far as selecting Settings, as that icon is to the left of my screen – I just keep getting Applications! Any ideas how to get to the touch input screen another way?!
i’m having the same problem as beekay just dont know how to select the settings menu because it responds to the applications one :(
try hard reset, may help
