    Disconnect from PC 5800xm safe way(thanks to mufaddal_km)
    =============================

    "if your phone is in "pc suite mode" make sure u exit pc suite before disconnecting , that's bcoz there s a process " service layer.exe' which is is communication with your device ...so don't just pull out the cable

    in "mass storage" mode ..make sure u stop the usb connection and then unplug your device ."

    How to take photos on the Nokia 5800 Xpress Music(taken from allaboutsymbian)
    ======================================
    Most phones have cheap cameras that use a technique called "fixed focus", which means the camera lens doesn't move. This lowers the quality of photos, because the camera cannot adjust its focus to match what you're taking a picture of.

    The Nokia 5800 has a better type of camera called "autofocus", which allows the lens to move and automatically focus. Photos taken with auto focus cameras are generally much better than those from fixed focus cameras.

    Photos on the 5800 are at their best if you use the various camera options to their fullest. Here's a quick guide to the main icons in the camera application:

    Nokia 5800 camera application

    The camera button is your friend!
    =========================
    The 5800's camera can be switched on by pressing the camera button on the right side of the phone. Once the camera application is running, pressing the button again takes the picture.

    However, that's not all. Like a standalone camera, the 5800's camera button knows how far in you've pressed it, and if you only press it part-way the camera will focus without taking the picture.

    When you want to take a picture on the 5800, first make sure the subject of the picture is in the middle of the square on the screen, then press the camera button in part-way until the square turns green and bleeps, which indicates the picture is in focus. When the square is green, press the button in the rest of the way to take the actual photo.

    The image options box is also your friend!
    ===============================
    The 5800's camera has most of the settings options you'd find on a standalone camera, and a number of preset modes for various different situations. All of these options and modes can be found in the options box, by selecting the icon that looks like horizontal lines.

    How to watch divx/xvid avi files on 5800XM/N97 WITHOUT converting them?

    You have a bunch of avi files and you want to watch them on 5800XM/N97? You know that these phones don't support avi format and so you would go ahead and do a lengthy video conversion that would take hours...

    There may be another way, and it is called "container re-packaging"!
    1) First of all, check your source avi files. Use a tool to see avi file properties (for example, Format Factory). In Format Factory go to Advanced - Media File Info. Select the video and look for the line "Format Settings, BVOP". If this is "NO", then you are in luck (otherwise, go back to converting videos....).
    2) Select a good video encoder, for example Mediacoder, and open the video file. Select these settings:
    video - as "copy",
    audio - as "copy"
    container - as "MP4"
    and press encode.

    After about 5sec(

    ) you will have a MP4 video file watchable on 5800XM/N97.

    Best formatter for Nokia 5800 video files

    Format Factory - this little application works surprisingly well for me. There is even a preset for Nokia 5800. Easy to use, quite versatile and good conversion results. Score 8/10.

    i got this from another site...doesn't work very well for me....:(

    but others say its the best.....automatically has preset settings to convert files to nokia 5800 playable formats....:)
