How do you do this direct from the phone ?
I reflashed it with PC Suite (in a VMware session of XP under Kubuntu ;-) )

Why is a built-in GPS a con if you haven't even used it?
The 5800's GPS is excellent, far far better than the N810s. I've never had a reliable lock with the N810, whereas the 5800 locks every time and quickly too.
Also, the 5800 can use a variety of GPS software: Nokia Maps, Google Maps, Garmin etc.
I will try it I am just used to the Qstarz BT GPS as it is very good and even fixes indoors.

S60 used to have far too little free RAM until about 2007, but from 2008 onwards Nokia got the message and started putting useful amounts of free RAM in their Symbian devices.
You are right, I had an E70 before and even then I rarely got the 'memory full'. Before that I had a 6680 which issued this awful message virtual every webapge I opened.
