What would you change about the Nokia 5800?

The top selling MP3 player in the UK, the Nokia 5800 - engadget

Engadget has asked it’s readers, “How would you change Nokia’s 5800 XpressMusic?”.  I think for the price, the 5800 packs a lot of punches you’d expect from the high-end and expensive Nseries. But as in everything, there’s always ample room for improvement.

It seems though that a lot of the features that people are wishing the 5800 had are already in the upcoming N97: bigger screen, keyboard, more memory, faster UI, better camera, USB charging.

So should the question be, how would you change the N97? As much as I love it, I do not have enough fingers to count out changes/features I would have liked to have seen/expected on the N97. Oh well, I’m still blinded by it and cannot wait for June.

    hi
    i own nokia 5800. iam not satisfied with it.i wish that the following features will be put in the new firmware version of nokia 5800.
    1.kinetic scrolling :for menu,images and videos and especially for music because it is too irritating and tough to scroll.

    2.the UI interface of nokia 5800 should be changed.this phones interface is same as other previous symbian phone.the only change is it is touch capabale.i want nokia to adopt “touch flo”feature in the home screen.i want it to be built innovatively ,something different from htc touch diamonds touch flo.

    3.i want few motion sensor games for this phone.like the super monkeyball in iphone.
    you can create bounce part 2 and make it motion sensor.

    4.i want swirl or slide to unlock feature in the home screen.but iphones look should no be copyied,its look should be more better than iphones unlock feature.

    5.i want the touch in this phone to be something different,all swirl,slide,push pull,drag,cube,touch flo,etc feature to be adapted in this phone.

    6.i want to change the photo or music by shaking the phone to a particular direction by using motion sensor.

    7.i want the menu screen to be changed.this is too old ,basic and simple home screen.i want something 3d home screen which should make people turn over and look at the phone.

    8.i want touch piano,guitar.etc games to be created in some other format bcoz these are flash games so the there is a time gap while plaing it.

    9.so many years have passed ,nokia has not changed the boot screen.i want nokia to change their logo in the boot screen to something more better than this.and some animation in the letter nokia.

    10.i want nokia to release a update for the game gt thunder the motion sensor game. they should decrease the motion sensor sensitivity in this game.according to me it is too sensitive.

    these are my wishes ,i want nokia to keep these in mind and build them in the upcoming firmware version.i think it not going to cost nokia for putting these features bcoz these are changes to be made in software and not harware.
    if nokia adapts these feature ,their sales of this particular model will be doubled.
