Quite a lot of people think you need a computer to subscribe to podcasts, but you don't. The Nokia 5800 lets you browse, subscribe and download podcasts straight onto the phone, with absolutely no need for any kind of PC or Mac. Read on to find out all the details, including how to discover new podcasts or listen to old favourites.
So you want to transfer files onto or off your phone, and you have a Windows, Macintosh or Linux computer? Well the easiest and fastest method is to use the phone's microUSB cable, which is explained in greater detail in this tutorial.
TV Out is one of the coolest things you can do with a 5800, it lets you watch videos, play games, listen to music or any other phone function through a normal television set. It's very easy to use, and this tutorial tells you how to use it.
The 5800 has got a pretty big battery for a mobile phone. But how can you make it last even longer? Read All About Symbian's special feature to find out how to maximise every charge.
Bought a Nokia 5800? Planning to buy one soon? Before you do anything, read All About Symbian's guide to your first steps with the phone. We've written this article with ordinary people in mind and tried to keep jargon to a minimum, but hopefully even advanced phone users should find something useful in it.
In part 1 of this series, Steve Litchfield looked at exposed camera glass on some phone models and investigated whether scratches really make a difference. In part 2, he investigated the pros and cons of LED/dual-LED/Xenon flashes in camera phones - does Xenon or dual LED flash make that much difference? In part 3, he investigated the fabled 'Megapixel myth' with an objective eye. In part 4, he focussed on the difference between good and poor optics (at the same camera resolution) and in part 5, he pitched all the top smartphone cameras head to head, in detail. In part 6, AAS guest writer Dirk Snoyt took up the theme of camera phone flash research and got all technical on the theme of colours... In part 7, I returned with a look at the difference optical zoom makes and ask the question "Is it better to have optical zoom or just much higher resolution?" Part 8 looked at phone camera video capture potential and part 9 looked at video focussing differences in Nokia's Nseries. Part 10 looked at the difference sensor and aperture size can make, for both stills and video. In this, part 11, Steve looks at a specific positive from the presence of large numbers of megapixels and discovers yet another use for your smartphone.
Here are the parts in this Camera Nitty Gritty series for All About Symbian:
In this, part 12, Steve looks at whether any or all of Nokia's fancy scene modes and adjustments make any significant difference and works out which ones you should ignore and which ones you should remember....

Here's the scenario. You've shot a video (or two) on your Nokia Nseries smartphone, at VGA quality through a Carl Zeiss lens and up to 30 frames per second. And you want to be able to show it to the world in your blog. YouTube is the obvious choice, but how can you ensure that people see your clip to best advantage?
Steve Litchfield investigates the direction Nokia's chipsets are going - and finds it somewhat disturbing...
