    how old is your sim card? what kind of sim card are you using? is it from a gsm provider? if your sim card is pretty new & from a gsm provider than try the following.

    1 turn off the phone
    2 remove sim card
    3 give it 10 sec's and than put the sim card back in push it as far as it can go use they stylus. MAKE SURE the sim is facing proper way.
    4 when the phone comes on if it asks if you want to continue in offline mode select no.
    5 if it doesn't ask about offline mode than go into phone settings and select general profile.

    if none of this works try another sim card to see if its the phone or the sim.

    i have the same problem to. Ive been using the Nokia 5800 for 4 months. Working just fine until lately when i turn on the phone, it doesnt display the keypad to type in the PIN number of the Sim card but instead go straight into the wallpaper. I can still see the clock and battery bar working. But nothing else seems to work. I tried turning on the fone without the sim card in offline mode it and it worked normally.

    Others are asking why 5800 the price is too low.. But features are good.. And there you go, the answer is given.. Hardware problem, the sim card reader is not wise..

    I tried other sim cards on and it worked normally. Turns out it is the Sim card problem since i tried the sim card with 2 other nokia fones and none of them worked. Changed to a new sim. You should try to turn on your fone with a different sim card to see if it works probably.
