Coming to technical specifications, the 5800 codenamed ‘Tube’ is based on Series 60 5th Edition platform and runs the popular Symbian OS. And because of this you are able to choose among thousands of applications/software and games to install in your Nokia 5800 because there are lots of them for this operating system and platform.  The next big greatness of this phone is its extraordinary multimedia capability like the Iphone.

With a fantastic display of 360 x 640 pixels (3.2 inches with 16 million colours at 24 bit), the video playback and quality is awesome. Popular video formats like MPEG4, FLV (Flash), 3GP, Real media, Windows media etc are supported by the default media player. Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is known for the quality of music including the stereo sound quality and clarity. The phone supports a large variety of music file formats like Mp3, WAV, AAC, Real Media, AMR and MIDI (Polyphonic).

The CMOS censored 3.2 megapixel camera comes with Flash and other features like Auto Focus, Self timer and Zooming features. The quality of snaps taken using this camera is much better than that of Iphone’s camera.  Also the camera sports the technically popular Carl Zeiss lens. Quality video captures at a resolution of 640 X 480 (Frame rate – 30 FPS) can be made using the camera of Nokia 5800. The Nokia 5800 sports 8GB/16GB of storage which can be used to transfer your favourite music and videos from PC using the supplied cables.

Size doesn’t matter! Just because it’s a petty needle, that doesn’t make this invention less significant. Woo Moon-Hyung’s ‘Big Eye Needle’ is a normal needle, but on exerting some pressure, the tiny loop-eye expands to the size of a button hole making threading a lot more easier. I often saw people struggling with needles, but thankfully, the age old glitch is finally done with.

The 43 mile road has earned the reputation of being the planet’s most dangerous road according to the Inter-American Development Bank in 1995. Every year, it claims 200 to 300 lives on average. Every fatal accident is marked with the Christian symbol of Cross.

The road was built in the 1930′s by the Paraguayan prisoners during the height of the Chaco Wars. It was designed to be a lifeline for the different towns of the Yungas but as its history has proven, it is far from being that.

The road ascends initially 5 kilometers above sea level and then plunges 3600 meters down the Bolivian Andes as a single lane snake road with no guardrails and intense drop offs which are not for the faint nor not even for the strong hearted.

A lot of people have lost their lives when their vehicles plummeted down the cliffs of deaths. A lot are also injured when public buses scrape against the rocky walls of the mountains.

Weather is not really considered a big factor. Imagine the cloud of dust that covers the path and impairs vision of drivers during the summer. The rains do not help either as they rush down the forest walls through the lose dirt and rocks of the narrow road.

Before traversing the North Yungas Road, commuters and drivers are accustomed to feeding the dogs found on the foot of the mountain to please the earth deity Pachama.

More direct routes are being constructed to connect the towns of Yungas. Travelling thru the Road of Death though may serve as a rite of passage.
