Nokia 5800 XpressMusic NAM units being returned to Flagship stores?

We’ve got a lot of tips on this over the course of the morning but wanted to double check them to be safe. In short, we’re told that many, many new Nokia 5800 NAM owners are returning their units to the Flapship points of purchase, due to an issue with the handset not properly connecting to the internet. Now, our unit got 3G/3.5G signal fine in NYC over AT&T’s network, but we’re told many other units don’t pick up signal at all in a lot of locations. Literally another Nokia next to it will have 5 bars and the 5800 won’t have any. And yes, they’ve all confirmed they have NAM units and the boxes say “850MHz/1900MHz UMTS”. I’d turn my unit on again to check this out but it’s honestly not worth it. Stay in the box, 5800. You’re at peace.

Thanks, to everyone that hit us up!

    Best Buy is where I’ve seen unlocked phones and haven’t seen a CDMA or carrier branded one yet, now that we both know what the other is referencing let Don do him, me do me and you do you

    I came here to say this was a cool phone when it made a cameo in the film. This is my other alias so you aren’t too confused

    Maybe BGR is biased, maybe they’re not, either way who gives a fuck ? If you’re here to read news, then read it and move on with your life. These good people are doing you a service trying to inform the public who cares about mobile technology news, it would probably be a good idea not to badmouth them.

    @ Mike M

    If BGR is only here to provide us about technology news, then why the hell do they have a comment section for their readers? If they have a comments section and I have an opinion, then I have every right to express my opinion. Don’t tell I can’t leave a negative comment, what are you? A communist? This isn’t China or Cuba….its the Ga-damn USA! So I CAN leave a comment if I want, because I’m an AmeriCAN!

    @ ThisGuy

    I never said anything in regards AGAINST leaving comments. NO I am not a communist, i’m an American just like you. And if you reallyyy read what I was trying to say here, my point is that it’s not cool to talk shit about BGR when they’re doing a service to you providing you news. Yes of course the comments section is for everyone to express their opinion, regardless of what country they’re from.It’s ignorant assholes like you that make the rest of Americans look like close-minded idiots.

    Name calling are we? whos the asshole now?

    the comments section is great. Not only does it turn into everyone sand bagging the company in the article, but then defence gets sand bagged for everything including their mothers. He was just defending boy genius so he can come back tomorrow and hopefully see his mysterious hero has granted him a comment. Now… About that nokia. Screw touch screens. There are a reason that we put buttons on these things, don’t let apple trick you!
