“this means that you would need to receive a spam SMS/call once from a sender before you can bar them.”

this is a problem as I get spam from mostly new numbers the numbers are so far never repeated.

“i dont know how much i would trust my phone to “intelligently” screen calls for me. you might end up missing some important calls that got filtered out as spam.”

This is simple. I only want the phone to allow calls/sms from numbers on my contact list. I am not much bothered about losing “important” calls from unknown people. They can send me an email. I am more lenient about spam in my email as it doesn’t wake me up or otherwise disturb me when I am doing something else.

Thank you again.

this is really good stuff. sleek. smart. very useful design.
finally, the large screen is now being put to use -to its real potential.

could you please bring this feature to the estimated more than 7 million 5800xm users? -the number includes mini-me.

please..please,nokia developers…be our angel and grant our humble request.

if you are thinking of something to show your appreciation for the overwhelming global sales of 5800xm -this lovely homescreen will do it.

this would probably be a ’sweet gift’ for the early adapters (beta testers?) of first nokia phone under smybian s60 5th edition.

nokia, we hope that you do listen to your dedicated users and react positively and creatively in a timely manner. thank you for not being passive.

(ps: if you do this homescreen feature in the next 5800 firmware upgrade and even add kinetic scrolling. wow.thats would more than ok, i’l surely not complain. il treat it as a big early christmas bonus -for year 2009,of course;-)

Well i bought 5800 XM aka “Tube” 4 months back and i am not so happy with my decision. Though you have released a couple of firmware updates in the past which improved the speed and fixed a lots of bugs but still the phone’s performance has not been upto the mark.

Firstly, the homescreen looks not just blank but waste of such a large space. There is no option to add few applications and widgets (its a 3.0 inch screen and its all blank man). Just look at the N97 homescreen and even the upcoming 5530 XM boasts of better homescreen than 5800 XM. I was expecting a major firmware update to a N97 look a like homescreen but till now there has been no such thing, which really concerns me about the innovation at Nokia Labs. I do understand there may be some software related issues but that that should not be much of a headache since both N97 and 5800 XM run on S60 V 5.0

Another point of concern is that of applications. You guys have not been releasing any Usable applications for S60 V5.0. I don’t understand releasing applications like Drums, guitar, piano etc really serve any purpose except for a one day show off. You have been talking a lot about applications such as Skype on N97, i would really like to have that on Nokia 5800 (where’s my piece of cake). And more such widgets from Nokia Labs (atleast give another update of Nokia web browser its still slower than the Opera mini). I really appreciated your efforts when you gave all tools to developers for developing 3rd party applications last week (WRT plugins on Adobe Dreamweaver, Visual Studio and Aptara 2.0) . All thumbs up for Nokia Photo Browser, waiting for a similar kind of application called “Media Browser” where we can drag through albums, songs and videos in a 3D UI.

Last but not the least “GAMING” : I have no problem with you people giving N97 as the flagship for N-gage on touch screen mobiles. But wait a minute, 5800 XM is the flagship model for touch enabled phones by Nokia and you are not releasing N-gage on “Tube” itself, atleast give me a date for the release.

Waiting for the updates and believing that Nokia really concerns about its customers.
Long Live Nokia!!!

I am a Nokia Freak, and really looking forward by having the cool home screen of the N97 in 5800 XM which I love!!! Please, break leaches for the 5800XM! It is a must! For such a great phone!!!

Anyhow, there was a homescreen, and it’s going to be there. And this seems a logical step to it, but as a heavy S60 user I wonder if it’s not becoming a little bit too much while other aspects fall behind, begging for improvements on the basic experience across the s60 UI.

I would really love to see the same love in the access point problem

closing: Congrats to the team: it’s a real advantage to the users, good step for S60 and not having those “shallow” screen (multimedia key from N95, N93, and the newer carrousel one) is really a nice thing@

But if it’s anything close to accurate it represents a massive failure on the part of mobile UI designers…with only one out that I can think of*. What this statistic implies is that by far most of the time people spend on their devices is squandered in trying to figure out how to do something, rather than simply doing it. That’s unacceptable by any standard, but most particularly in the circumstances of everyday urgency and pressure that attend much mobile use. We can, should and need to be doing better.

*The sole exception case is when the homescreen itself displays the desired content, e.g. the time, first line and sender of an incoming text message, etc.
