Nokia 5800 XpressMusic review: Young as you feel

Nokia 5800 XpressMusic review: Young as you feel - read the full textIt's touchscreen o'clock for Nokia and the stage is set for the 5800 XpressMusic. Go ahead and touch it. We did and we've got a story to tell. Now, it's technically not the first time Nokia get their hands dirty with touch screens, but it sure feels they really mean business this time. For Nokia 5800 is not the only story here...

after al this hypes and everything surrounding it gsmarena comes up with a late and one of the most untrust ful review of all! if u hate nokia then admit it! i have used other touch screens of samsung and lg and if u say 5800 has dodgy interface then gsm is just damn biased!

Seeing this review make make put my decision to purchase 5800 on hold. I'm gonna continue using my 1+ years old E61i for a little longer. I think i'm gonna wait for N97 to rool out, and also for the S60v5 to get mature.

Thanks GSM arena for the great review.
Q: What is MPEG4? I thought the MPEG4 = DivX/XVid?

It's a sad that the good 5800 can't play DivX/Xvid. It's a waste

thanks for the review, a little bit late, but no big deal.
can't wait for the review of N97.
btw, do you know when will Samsung release their own Symbian touchscreen device?

Sorry, this phone is not an iPhone killer. In fact it excels in only a few areas:
- you can use an Apple bluetooth keyboard with it, but not with the iPhone!
- the camera resolution is better than the iPhone (3MPx vs 2 MPx)
- you can multi-task
- you can copy and paste text!

S60 3rd edition (non-touchscreen version of the OS) is clunky and inconsistent, and it appears that S60 5th ed. is the same. I doubt that anyone will give up their iPhone for this product (and I'm an N82 owner).

I just bought this phone about a week ago, exchanged it twice. A lot of people had the same issue i had which is the headset not sounding very clear or you just cant hear out of it at all.
