Nokia 5800 XpressMusic - user opinions and reviews

I bought this phone a couple of weeks ago. It is my first Nokia phone ever so I can't compare it with any other Nokia phone.
This phone has everything Iphone has with a third of the price (yeah I know, touch screen on IPhone is better but for a third of the price I think it's pretty clear choice!)
It is very slick and great size, light weight, thin, fast, and responsive.
The WiFi on this phone is great, though I'm not a huge fan of Symbian's built-in browser. I Installed Opera mini and I'm pretty happy with it.
The GPS capability is a bonus and with Google Maps, it works perfectly fine for me, fairly accurate and fast in finding routes and all...though I don't think it has audio guidance.
The apps and themes are awesome and they are a ton of apps available on the web for free...
One thing I really am upset about this phone is the battery life. On Nokia website, it says with WiFi, the battery lasts only 3.5hours and honestly, I haven't been able to get a better battery life than 3 days without charging from it (gsmarena has 16 days). That is the only problem I found with this phone so far. I'm buying an extra battery charger for my phone and leaving it in my office in case it runs out of battery when I'm at work...

Had been using this phone for the past 6 months.
If compared only to Nokia phones, the 5800 is worth the value as it still comes with music* it has GPS, wifi and touchscreen capability.
Of couse a 5800 cant be compared to iPhone (price difference) but personally i feel that if money is not a factor, iPhone would always be the first option of mine :D. okay, continues to the opinion of mine.
Wifi and browser speed is acceptable, i dont face any problems except for heavily loaded webpages where phone will start to feel the pinch. Overall, its still rather smooth with internet browsing.
BAD POINT about this phone (or maybe some other model nokia has) is that they lack the UI of scrolling through multiple choices by wiping the finger across the screen. Instead, users have to use the sidebar for scrolling. Which is not accurate. I have about 1000 songs in my phone and the sidebar becomes so short and sensitive. Everytime i tried to find the song, it doesnt bring me to what i want, instead it will jump away from the song i want as when i lift my finger, the placement will go off a little.
Camera images always finish off being a little white. Contrast of images arn't fantastic. Video recording is worst than using a 7610 to record. There would be speckles of red blue green particles in the video.
Finally, the one access media button is AWESOME. Its a relief to have that button !
Lock and unlocking the phones comes with a dedicated slider key which brings convenience to users.
Other than these, the other functions of the 5800 are good.

I think all Samsung phones have a slow interface.
Nokia phones nowadays have the most complete specs but are not the best.
Sony Ericsson phones either have the best cameras or audio but lacks style and phone choices.
Apple Iphones are the trendiest but are they really worth the money?
I say, either go for a phone you'd really love to have or get out of the common choices to be unique and explore new things.

had the phone for 5 months now, downloaded many apps, some good, some crap. Sometimes to phone does not switch back on the first time, after being switched off for a flight. This is a great phone for the price, you will not be dis appointed.

Hey guys! I'm still undecided between this and the n85. I know the 5800 has a better screen for vids and web but I also need a decent camera. Anybody have a NAM version? What's the latest fw for the nam version and how is the camera?

Sameer, 29 Sep 2009which is better touch screen or regular keypad having?Hey Sameer. Touchscreen numeric keypad on 5800 is easier and more comfortable to me. I used to have 6120 and w960 before. I am a fan of numeric keypad with t9 as the method gives me fast to type.
I am slow to type qwerty on 5800. I tried physical qwerty on e63 and it's more comfortable and more error free to type.
I think if you're a fan of qwerty input, just buy a physical qwerty phone. If you like numeric keypad method, it's ok to choose touchscreen phone like 5800.
