The 5800 has a resistive touch screen. What does that mean? Multi touch doesn't usually work. On the contrary Jamie Fuler has managed to do some multi-touch magic on the 5800. No Apple wizardry but this is still a nice proof of concept.
Ever since I got my 5800 I have been scouring the web for Symbian Series 60 V5 applications. The funny thing is I found these nifty apps from different Nokia sites. The thing is different countries have different apps for you to download. I found 2 countries that offer free full applications Nokia India and Hong Kong. Links and details after the break.
The applications and games here are free so grab them until you can!
SMS Timer-SMS Timer allows you to schedule SMS/MMS messages to be sent on a future date and time. The application functions exactly like the standard messaging application allowing you to define multiple recipients.
Smart Guard- Smart Guard protects all your private information (e.g. Messages, Contacts, Videos, Pictures etc.) both on the phone's internal memory and on the memory card. Thus it is visible only to the one who holds the passcode.
Marble Maze- Marble Maze is a labyrinth game that utilizes the orientation sensor built inside the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic. In this game you control a ball in a labyrinth by tilting the device in your hands and lead the ball into a goal.
Wave Secure- The ultimate security application for your phone. It not only helps you track the lost phone but also ensures full security of the data on the device.
Touch Card Match- The classic 'Card Memory' game, but with a difference. This version has a superb audio visual interface with engaging graphics and touch control.
Touch Maneuver- Let the kid in you bounce back in action. 'Touch Maneuver', the virtual version of the classic 'Don't touch the wire game' makes you hold your breath as you aim to control a ring on a virtual path without grazing the track, just with a touch of your finger.
Easy Reject- Always wanted to keep those unwanted calls and messages at bay? 'Easy Reject', the smart auto-reject tool is at your rescue. Reject calls with a busy tone. Get messages filtered silently to view and restore them later.
Cricket Widget- It's time to put an end to the woes of seeking information on your favourite sport. Keep yourself updated with the latest on Cricket. The Cric Info Widget brings to you real time ball by ball update of matches being played. Not only that, you can also check the Match Summary & Scorecard and brag about your knowledge on Cricket.
My Ringtone- It's time to put an end to the woes of seeking information on your favourite sport. Keep yourself updated with the latest on Cricket.

My phone gave up on me! Drat what a disaster. I was forced to buy a new one. I got a Nokia 5800. Why? Beats me! I sometimes just buy stuff. Ummm I'd rather not talk about that but what is good about the Nokia 5800 is that it has wifi! And this app is the first thing that I put in it. Fring is one of the best messenger app for any phone OS. Heck! If the phone can support java I think they have support for it. Fring supports YM, AIM and other major instant messengers. Skype is also supported.
According to the site: Using your handset′s internet connection, you can interact with friends on all your favourite social networks including Skype®, MSN Messenger®, Google Talk™, ICQ, SIP, Twitter, Yahoo!™ and AIM®. You can listen to music with your Last.fm friends, check out what each other are up to on Facebook, receive alerts of new Google Mail™ and tailor make your very own fring by adding more cool experiences from fringAdd-ons™.
The app is really nice and has an integrated GUI which really simplifies an IM lover's life. Download Fring here
