Version 31.0.008 Rocks, and I'm using SpeedyGo application with my brand new Nokia 5800 xm, loving it so far except using the camera indoors (no problem with that, im going to be buying a Sony Cybershot T77 anyway)love the usability, very user friendly. TV-Out function's great. Contacts bar: lovin it, hoped it could have more than four contacts. All in all, it's a no-nonsense midrange priced phone. Love it!

The camera on the back of the phone have good quality, but tend to lag alittle and in the low light it will not be good. The camera on the front isnt as good because it is use to video call.

Since nokia begains to make thier phones in china
they are going down for sure
and you see the 5800xm is a simple sample of the result as 6600 and many else more and i think the x6 will be the same as 5800 poor in many ways
i experienced the nokia many times and its very good specially those which made in finland and there's so much defferent between those which made in china
so take care

Battery life is 5 days with normal talk and WiFi off (scanning off). With moderate WiFi use, it will drop to 2-3 days. Never had it last only one day. Also, set screen to go off after 10-secs. Great phone!

Anonymous, 15 Sep 2009Hi,I am planning to buy this phone, but i saw its camera with two friends, one has good qualit... moreCamera is not stable. Sometimes will reflect and capture great light and at times is just horrible. I have found that the best way to take a picture is to have the timer set and just activate it so that blur is at minimal.

Anonymous, 17 Sep 2009if u have updated it to v31, then it is extremely fast, no lags or crashes and very reliable. ... moreHaven't faced any crashes yet. The only thing i'm expecting from the phone is kinetic scrolling, because in the big lists, like phonebook or song list you can't stop on the place you want just draging the slidebar. Everything else is great!

Hey, version 31 is out in some countries! I have updated already.
No kinetic scrolling though. The homescreen is the same. New nokia OVI maps (Incompatible with maps that already downloaded, so you will be prompted to delete them). Improved memory management (more Ram). Improved touch sensitivity. The hack survived the update.

Forgot to mention the W995 can also charge from USB, the 5800 can't.
But the 5800 can handle more apps :P

I own a SE W995 and Nokia 5800...although the W995 is non touch I'll post advantages of both:
5800 pros:
Screen size is giant, with awesome quality
Stereo speakers are pretty good in sound
Video player is good with fullscreen and great quality video
Homescreen isn't crowded with text, unlike on W995, and is much more customisable
Much nicer looking FM radio
Better GPS sensitivity than W995
Better network reception than W995, does not drop internet when switching between 3G/2G
Better video recording than W995
Nicer web browser which handles most pages fine
W995 pros:
Walkman player beats the Nokia one easily
Music keys on side make for easy control
Better Wifi implementation, good sensitivity
I prefer the Sony Ericsson status icons much more than the tiny Nokia ones, and they are much more informative
No annoying red light flash when taking photos, tiny red light when recording videos unlike 5800's distracting one
W995 Camera quality is millions of times better, no matter the resolution...5800's camera is BAD!
Stereo speakers are superior in sound
Battery life is a LOT better than 5800- I have to charge 5800 more than once a day often
Menu is easy and fast to find items, unlike 5800
I really don't know which one to use more :(

The nokia 5800 is a great phone. And Nokia is the top sellphones you get. It's opperating system is better then any other brand. But the decision is still yours.
