i have a question? i own N70 the thing i dont like about it is the wallpaper. I u put a wallpaper, it does not cover the screen completely, battery and signal display top part is left blank. Is this the same case with 5800?
Hi All,
There's so many mixed emotions about this phone. One person says the touch screen is sensitive, another says it's really slow.
I did the wrong thing by reading a lot of peoples feed back and went out and bought the Samsung Omnia, and I regretted it from the day I bought it. The touch scren was absolutly crap and everyone hyped the model up. It was a let down and it was sold 2 weeks later cause I hated it.
Now I've decided to use that money I made and buy myself the Nokia 5800 because I love Nokia and I've had a heap of there past releases and never had a single issue with them. On youtube theres this guy who has about a 25 minute review showing you the Nokia 5800 and when he touches the screen its very responsive, almost like the iphone and a hell of a lot better then the Samsung Omnia touch. Maybe you all should watch the youtube clips and make your decision on that if you actually haven't played with one yourself yet.
I bought a Nokia 5800 today and just waiting for it to be delivered in the next few days. I'll put a little review on here without being judgemental on it, but what I think of it.
As for price, anything that is released thats recent, your always going to expect to pay way more then it's real worth, if yoiu have patience, then wait for the price to drop, if you have the money and price isn't an issue, then buy it but if you want it, just get it.
Cheers
Craig

Can anybody help me plz
Anonymous, 01 Jan 1970wow thanks!
just bought this phone 3 days ago. i am in shanghai and the phone is from HK. this phone was not released in china and i bought it for $3300RMB. which is equal to $480 USD.
Speaker is superb, and touch screen is very responsive, unlike wat others says. it would be ALOT easier to navigate the touch screen with a little finger nail opposed to just finger tip. the symbian touch interface is responsive and no crashes...yet.
overall the phone works very well and the gotta-have-it factory stayed even after i bought the phone. however built quality can be alittle better. phone size is just right and not too heavy. i can easily fit in my pocket.
i would recommend this phone to everyone. it is not an iphone killer but it is definetely something else. my immediate previous phone was the iphone and all i can say is both phone has its pro's and con's. with a few more days of using, i definetely can see myself cruising this phone just as fluid as the iphone can.
thanx

4) Storage

Nokia 5800: Finger, stylus, plectrum, handwriting recognition.
6) Features
Apple Iphone has lots of missing features like cut and paste function, saving email attachments, no support for third party headphones, ringtones, applications, many software bugs and other technical glitches. Nokia 5800 Tube has no such issues plus many more amazing features included.
7) Colors
Iphone: Black for 8 & 16 GB, White for 16 GB only.
Nokia 5800: Red, Blue and Black.
8 ) Battery

19) Price
Nokia 5800 is hopefully unlocked (without any contract) and will sell much cheaper for just £219 in UK which is equal to 279 Euros or $385.
Apple iPhone 3G, on the other hand, with contract in US comes for $199 & $299 for 8 & 16 GB models and the plans with AT&T are way too expensive. Unlocked Apple Iphones sells for around $800 on Ebay.
In other parts of the world, the 8GB unsubsidized Iphone model costs 499 euros ($700) in Italy, 350 pounds ($620) in UK, $700 in India. Nokia 5800 Xpressmusic is expected to sell around the world for about $400 or below.
20) Experience
Nokia: Ages of experience, hundreds of success stories and dozens of smart handsets in current portfolio. Nokia has about 40% market share with the No.1 spot with no close competitors. Certainly the king when it comes to brand value, service and experience.
Apple: First phone ever launched by Apple is Iphone, no prior experience in the telecom market. It’s a novice in the market with a very less market share despite having millions of Iphone sold.
Verdict:
Almost all the major brands around the world like Samsung, HTC, LG, etc launched their touchscreen smartphones with a hope to beat Apple’s Iphone. No-one came close to Iphone when it comes to looks, style, feel and features.
This is the first time a tech giant like Nokia has hit it hard with its first true touchscreen smartphone. Nokia 5800 is a real Iphone killer with way ahead features, perfect looks and great price. Bravo Nokia, Well Done!!
Default Ringtone, 08 Dec 2008
Why all Symbian OS cant change default ringtone for unknown caller or unknown sender, while ... moreYes it can very well, you have to add in contact list the name "unknown caller" and no phone number or just put a "0" or "unknown caller id" then assign the ringing tone for it!
That's easy to fix the symbians, how about this WinMo secret apps is running in the background and connecting time after time on internet, are they spyware or wot, specially when you week up in morning and all your prepaid call voucher is goon!
Does iphone connects to internet itself to?
Wheel symbians does not this things, only if you install junk explicit java apps your self and if you let running in the background!
Listen people, Honestly I'm not a nokia fan.
But I have to admit that the quality of their camera's is great.
So stop saying "it's only 3.15MP".
Because thats just the size of the image not the quality!!!!!!!!!
And I'm 100% sure that non of you will go home and print posters out using photos from ur phone.
So please don't say stupid things.
Does anyone know when this phone will be released in Malaysia????At what price??
Thanx in Advance
Why all Symbian OS cant change default ringtone for unknown caller or unknown sender, while Windows Mobile can?!
