Update 07 May 2009: After months of searching, I found the patch that can disable the camera shutter sound in Nokia 5800 XM is based on S60 v5. At the time of writing, this patch works on the v20 firmware. Follow this simple step-by-step tutorial to kill the annoying camera shutter sound on your Nokia 5800:

1. Download CenRep 3rd, unzip the file.

2. Visit the official Symbian Signed Page for application developer, enter your IMEI number and your e-mail address. Please make sure that your e-mail address is correct because the download link of the signed file comes in your mailbox.

3. Check your e-mail for the confirmation and visit the link for verification. Another e-mail will be delivered to your mailbox, download and install the signed file. (you may need to reboot your phone for the patch to work) When you are done, change your profile to silent mode and begin snapping secretly!
