I am creating a game for Symbian S60 on a 5800 and I just can't figure out why my OpenGL code is so incredibly slow. I can think of a couple possibilities, but no diffinitive answer. If anyone has some insight into optimizations on this platform, it would be a huge help. Currently, here are some of my ideas: - I am using a 32 bit RGBA values, maybe I should do 16 bit? - Is there a way to activate the FPU to run with OpenGL ES? - Does using Color3f make the system do simulated floating point operations?

The Nokia 5800 doesn't have any Hardware acceleration (despite what some lesser informed websites state). So that's probably why you're getting bad performance, it's the Hybrid Software GL|ES implementation that's running, which is about the same as running the REF driver in for example D3D on windows.
