Beauty of using App Brain is that you can manage and update your apps with ease .
You don't need to be texting or giving out your number to get different apps .

I got my Galaxy about a week ago on Orange also and having had Nokia phones in the past ( all very good ) I have to say this has to be my bestest phone ever ..lol.
Has anyone found an App for supermarket comparison ?
Bar code scanner is good but somehow it doesn't compare prices against the big 4.
Oh I love the speak search on goggle and swype is a revolution.
Battery life does seem to let the phone down a bit though. I recently went in Apple to check out the iphone 4 and I must say would have liked to get the iphone but it was the large 4inch screen that won me over in the end and boy I am a very happy customer so far :j0 -
I have recently bought a 5800 and wondered what other apps I can get for it and where from etc etc
I am pretty techie but mobile phones leave me a bit confused !!
There seem to be loads for an iphone but are the same ones ok for a 5800 ?
Look forward to your responses.Thanks to MSE I cleared £37k of debt in five years and I was lucky enough to meet Martin to thank him personally.0 -
Just got rid of my 5800 - apps are available from the Ovi store - either via pc or from mobile.Come on you Red and White Wizzaaaards!0

Google Nokia 5800 and forums Nokia 5800 loads of apps all depends upon what you want to do .
Not as many toys as for IPhone .
http://dailymobile.se/ good site with reviews apps games and forum for all phones .
IPhone apps are written for IPhone OS Nokia 5800 requires Symbian OS apps .
If you see an IPhone app you like just Google Name of app + Symbian Nokia 5800 and you will often find one to match .

24 hours .
12 hours phone on standby battery drops 0 to 2%
12 hours standby four hours with phone roaming battery drops 4% .
All data not required switched off via Quick Settings .
Battery problem is due to using all the apps etc in an always on mode .
GPS Wi Fi Mobile Data etc many apps make a regular connection to the internet if i have Mobile Data On its about once every 15 mins i get a data connection throughout a 24 hour period .
Charged Tuesday PM and i am now down to 69% left .
