Changing Nokia 5800XM Fonts

Hey Everyone,

This is especially for the folks, who have the great 5800XM device. You can change your system fonts very easily. To make it quick, following are the steps:
(Assuming that you are on Windows)
  1. First create a folder in you PC (eg: on Desktop) named "Fonts" (without quotes) and copy your favorite font from windows (Times New Roman - this has to be truetype)
  2. Then make another 3 copies and rename them all to;
    • s60snr
    • s60ssb
    • s60tsb
    • S60ZDIGI
  3. Connect the phone to the device using "Mass Storage" mode.
  4. Copy the Fonts folder to E:\Resources\ - assuming that your memory card is taken as E:
  5. Now disconnect and restart your phone.
Now I believe that you have your device decorated with your favorite font. I have installed "Times New Roman" and some screenshots are here;

So it's your turn to see what your device's got... ;)
If you have any problem or other solution related to this, please don't forget to comment

Update Your Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Firmware

As I have posted some article on 5800 earlier, this phone is a very decent gadget to have it with you. It only is not the technology it has but also the community help it gets, the softwares available, etc... 

So all in all Nokia 5800 XM gets very frequent firmware updates from Nokia so that you receive very interesting new features, which were not on it before such as kinetic scrolling. So you should or I should say, you must update your device with its latest firmware.
Some people think that updating firmware is dangerous and should be avoided doing it. I can say, "Not At All!". If you follow the procedure nothing will go wrong. Even if something happens wrong such as killing your phone in the updating process (which is very, very rare - if you unplug the phone whilst it's updating - yeah, you mustn't do that ;)), you can recover it with no problem. Also as I mentioned earlier vast knowledge about the device is available online for you for free of charge. 

So guys, study a little about your loving device. I will be back with a nice guide "how to update Nokia 5800 XM firmware"
