Nokia 5800 XpressMusic - user opinions and reviews

Hi all,
I've had this handset for over a year now, there stil seems reasonable interest in it so I'll post my experience...
Pros:
* Reasonably priced for the specs - 640x360 screen, GPS, Wi-Fi, Quad Band GSM, Dual Band 3G, etc.
* GPS is good, some countries are privy to A-GPS through Ovi Maps as well.
* SportsTracker is a great piece of GPS software.
* YouTube app is OK.
* Some free games are good - Big Roll and Maps Racing for example.
* Music Player is alright, quality is decent.
Cons:
* Interface is clunky, particularly the keyboard implementation...
* Home page has very little customisation.
* No social network integration. Eg. facebook app required (messaging sometimes doesn't work), no good RSS feed app available, etc.
* Web browsing is slow/clunky, sometimes crashes.
* Limited number of apps available on Ovi Store.
* Camera is poor, but the dual LED does make a good flashlight :)
The Bottom Line
---------------
While it could be considered "a good deal" in that you do get a significant number of features for your money, the interface itself (s60v5) is certainly a generation or two behind the latest iOS, android or WP7 offerings.
If you only use your phone for calls, messaging and select applications (as I do with SportsTracker, Google Maps, some casual gaming and watching the occasional YouTube clip) then it is a great value proposition.
If you want to be on the bleeding edge, or want a phone that does everything, or like to spend a long time playing around with apps or web browsing on your phone then you will get frustrated with the 5800 because of the slow/clunky interface, the poor software keyboard and the lack of applications available through Ovi Store.

I`ve got this phone for 6 months. All I can say it's perfect, I think of it as being my baby. It`s look, it`s features, everything it's just perfect, I can't find anything wrong at it. With the last update the screen flip works even better

look at the screen of the new nokia firmware , do you think it's well built to match the phone ? i dont think so , look at its contact bar tabs those are not transparent at all got black borders around it and on email display location its the same . look at the touch tabs which shows telephone and contact by default , go to main menu and check how it shows the same tab area , those are different from each other , whats the point of showing a complete square button design on main screen and some other styled button on the main menu , this is crap , i guess nokia should release the next firmware with more quality work .
look at the mp3 player gadget and how it gets shown up on main screen on background , why cant nokia make it a bit more transparent . nokia s60 interfaces got nothing new nowadays compared to android and maemo and windows mobile , and 5800 new interface makes things look so much worse and puts all 5800 users to shame .

Hi all.
Had this phone for a year before loosing it during floods.It was fantastic. Bought E73 but i got bored because of the congested qwerty keypad. Gone back to 5800 again, but the new model has a sticker saying its made in Hungary but the 7 th and 8 th digit is 04 meaning its made in China. Who is fooling who and where is it exactly made? The other thing is the sensitivity of the auto-rotate sensor. Its very poor and work erroneously. Any remedies?

Anonymous, 15 Dec 2010If u want both 3G and wifi go with 5800. If u want capacitive screen and wifi u better choose 5530um, I think you've got something wrong here. 5530 has a resistive touchscreen, not capacitive.
