The letters on the dialer have already been added to Symbian device in the last firmware updates (i8910HD and N97 for instance)

@Slappy Wag: Download Ovi Suite 2.0 and you won't have any problems with NSU and Windows 7.

Even if it does come. It only has a 900mAH battery that can't get you through half a day. Stay away. The crew over at symbian-guru.com already got their hands on a few of them a couple weeks ago and all the positives of the phone were overshadowed by its god awful battery life. It's inexcusable for a phone to only last for 6hrs on EDGE with only Gravity running in the background. Ugh!
This is reportedly the real change log. It does seem more realistic for a v1.1 update

You need to read the rest of that thread. That entire summary of the FW update was confirmed to be fake.
It's working just fine now. I agree with NokiUser, there are a lot of apps but not many useful ones. There are great ones but they are few and far between
Use the RSS MP3 link
Yeah, I'm getting an error as well.
To respond to something you said at the end of the podcast, Nokia called out Dallas and Miami as spots where the NAM version of the 5800 worked in is because their Latin American HQ is in Miami and their US HQ is in Irving, Texas
Feeds must still not be working.
That was a straight copy and paste. Fuck yourself
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I own an iPhone 3G and I'm looking for a decent speaker / alarm clock for it. I am going to listen music in a mid-sized room, so I want nice quality speakers with solid bass. I also want to use it as an alarm clock, so it would be great if there is such a feature. The price can be low-mid to mid-high range. I was looking at the Klipsch iGroove SXT; it's powerful, slick and the reviews are good, but it doesn't have an alarm clock feature. It's no deal breaker if I can set it up from the iPhone, but I'm not sure. Thanks!"
