Such as the MyPhone application this works as a tool that makes the screen of your Nokia 5800 look like a microsoft environment running on Nokia 5800, you can add a desktop wallpaper, make calls, send text sms, use the camera, radio, etc. running with a Windows 7 platform

if you want it full
-open x-plore
-run it and select trial then exit
-go to C: Private/AF109171/EB62125B59B4D4502A

Hi cooldude_2, I have installed the Win7 file using the application installer on nokia pc suite, then opened Win7 selected 'Trial' and it exit. When I open the private folder (phone connected in mass memory mode) and open folder AF109171, there is only an XML file called 'backup registration'. Have I done something wrong?

Thanks,
Gareth

No offense guy, but that's just nasty. If I wanted bloatware on my smartphone I would have bought iphone or winmo. I like that Symbian is different. Ok it has problems but not like those other phones!

Hi phoneguy, I can sort of see where you are coming from but I gave this application a go and was surprised at how good the look and feel was, it was also really handy to have the windows menu system which made it convenient for accessing different parts of the phone.

I agree something better than what we have with S60 is definitely in order. I just wish native Symbian apps would pick up the slack instead of trying to mimic winmo. In one way I like that our screen isn't cluttered like iPhone with tons of icons but I would like a better menu setup (customizable) and a task list that really worked.

I absolutely agree, a totally customisable menu system would make things a lot better, but hey at least the 5800 is less than half the price of an iphone and can do pretty much everything it can do, with a better screen resolution and also has a stylus that features neatly also, just wish the 5800 could also automatically view all ms office/pdf docs as well.
