Nokia 5800 touch screen music phone

Advantages: Quick and easy to use
Disadvantages: Can get damaged easily

...The 5800 XpressMusic is a revolution for Nokia with it being the first touch screen phone produced by the manufacturer. With its slim lined shape it is an easy phone to hold and to use.

NOKIA 5800 - The BEST affordable touch screen phone ???? Probably

Advantages: Amazing Sound, extremely fast internet, cool touchscreen,good battery life, affordable, mobile tv
Disadvantages: not too great on the camera, and has the uncanny ability to capture full attention of the user.

...I'm quite a gadget geek myself, and I have always wanted to be able to test the latest gadgets, specifically mobile phones, and my current job lets me do that. The Nokia 5800 is a really beautiful piece of art. True it is a slightly thicker version and is not as sleek as some of the other touch screen phones out on the market at the moment, but the clean and easy-to-understand Nokia interface, really sets it apart from the others. Combine that with the built-in wi-fi and 3.5G capabilities and its true value for money. Most of the online videos buffer flawlessly and in close-to-HD quality if you stream is over wi-fi. Try the bbc i player for example. Plus the xpress music phones range from nokia have always been great winners. Excellent battery life and amazing sound clarity and quality. One of the few touch screen phones that...

Nokia 5800 - BEST TOUCH SCREEN PHONE,CHALLENGES THE I PHONE

Advantages: Features, design, easy use, sound/video, internet
Disadvantages: takes a few hours to get used to

...I cant help it ive got to admit, i love my nokia. everyone says to get an i phone theres so much more choice or get a sony erricson for the music, believe me there all wrong! The nokia is an advance peice of technology. It has so many applications and its so easy to connect to the internet. The manual gives all of the information you need to start and if thats not enough you can look online for extra support. I got mine on a £15 a month contract unlimited texts and 100 minuites on O2 and its well worth every penny. Granted the phone is not for people with fat fingers, the texting can be a bit fiddly but the stylus is sneakily slipped into the back and easy to access on the move. The phone even comes with a free hard case so it can be used at work without being damaged. The screen is huge and yet stylish and its the perfect phone to show...

Nokia N97 - 'The new iPhone'

Advantages: 32gb Internal Memory, Nice Looking, Full QWERTY Keyboard, 5 MP Camera
Disadvantages: A Little Bulky, Price, Small Processer Makes The Phone Slow

...phone, very useful. There is also an application called Qik that allows you to use the camera on your phone as a webcam. Other features worth mentioning are: - Maps/GPS - Calendar - Bluetooth - Email - TV/video - Contacts - Clock/alarm - Calculator/currency converter - Voice recorder Conclusion I am overall happy with the Nokia N97, I just wish it was faster and the screen was more responsive, I think these are the only two things that make the iPhone more appealing to me. Saying that I would probably still choose the N97 anyway because of its 32gb memory and 5 megapixel camera. I have dropped the phone quite a few times now and it still isn't showing much wear and tear. The screen is extremely hard to scratch, I have even convinced myself to remove the plastic cover with no insurance on my plan! I would give the phone an 8...

Nokias most recent attack on i-phone succes or failure

Advantages: memory
Disadvantages: touchscreen

...between they all work well on the phone and very easy to download and install. The widgets are very useul to have on this phone and as a loyal nokia user appreciated the benefits of these but once again there is limited space for widgets on the home screen so this restricts the many benefits having widgets creates. The touchscreen is surprisingly good for a capacitive screen as these have been known to need a firm touch to get a reaction, this isnt needed as much with the N97 but once again the iphone with its mere "tickle sensitive" touchscreen still remains to be the number one touchscreen on the market and with the new i-phone 3gs out adding video facilties to the phone it is currently by far still at the top of the market but as a commitednokia user and i know there are many of us out there the N97 is a worthwhile phone to own and i would...

Review - The Nokia N97 vs The iPhone 3GS

Advantages: Good Looking, Durable, Huge Memory, Very Very Good QWERTY keyboard
Disadvantages: Tiny processor leading to lag and application crashes

... The Nokia N97 Nokia have announced the follow up to their 5800 XpressMusic touchscreen phone. The Nokia N97, which utilises a 3.5 inch touchscreen and slide out QUERTY keyboard. Appearance The overall design of the N97 is not at all unique, looking like the lovechild of a Google G1 and Apple iPhone, comparisons have also been drawn to the AT&T Tilt, and rightly so. Despite Nokia's lack of imagination the N97 is a nice looking thing, apart from a small button in the bottom left corner, the 3.5 inch touchscreen dominates and looks sleek and well designed. When the QUERTY keyboard is slid out the screen sits at an angle, looking remarkably like the HTC TyTN. The N97 is both larger and thicker than the iPhone, which isn't exactly inconspicuous itself, this makes the N97 feel a little too large, especially...

The iphone's competition, Nokia 5800!!

Advantages: Full bluetooth, great sound, wifi, 8 gig storage (expandable) Touch Screen and great screen size.
Disadvantages: Touch screen responsiveness is a bit tedious.

...Please bear in mind that this review is my own personal opinion. I have owned the Apple Iphone 3G 8 gig version and also the Nokia 5800. The nokia 5800 is Nokia's first venture into the touch screen world and they have released it as the dangerous opponent to the Iphone. Both phones are great in their own separate ways, Personally I still think the iphone has got the leading edge. The touch screen responsiveness of the nokia 5800 is nowhere near as greatly sensitive as the iphone. Often needing to put a little bit more pressure on the somewhat flimsy screen of the Nokia 5800. The Iphone screen is made of glass and works via some heat sensitive touch screen. whereas the nokia 5800 is operated by finger, Supplied plectrum or stylus which is hidden away in the rear of the casing. All 3 touch methods on the nokia 5800 have their...

Nokia 5800 Pushes All The Right Buttons

Advantages: Screen, music player, internet access, easy access to functions, lots more.
Disadvantages: Um... it's so good I keep paying it too much attention

...The last time I started a new phone contract I didn't really think about the phone I was getting and just kind of got one that looked kind of nice. Then I was a purely texting person, with the odd phone call. That after all is what a phone is about, right? Well it's what I thought. After finding some of the more useful features on my last phone, the Nokia E65, as well as cursing over things it couldn't do, I knew I was going to have to choose my phone more carefully. And then the iPhone was released and seemed to be everything I wanted... except for a nice price, so really it was out of the question. So when I came to finally renew my contract I had a look for what phone I could get for a reasonable price... and so I ended up with the Nokia 5800. In The Box I waited with anticipation for my new phone to arrive. I had done my...

Review of Nokia 6303 Classic

Nokia 5800 - Overall a very good user experience

Advantages: Good screen, nice features, great for music
Disadvantages: Touch screen misses touches sometimes

...The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic phone is one of Nokia's first attempts at a touch screen handset for the masses. Before its release, many were hoping it would rival the iPhone. Well, what you must understand, before making a purchase of the 5800, is that Nokia are not targetting the iPhone with this particular handset, though they may make their challenge later this year with a different model. The 5800 is a superb touch phone though. It is aimed at those who really like the Nokia user interface and who want their mobile phone primarily for music. This is where the 5800 excels. It is superb for music and movies too. However, in movie playback things can get a little jerky. In addition to the main screen being fully touch sensitive, there is also a touch media button located just above the top right corner of the screen. This gains you quick...
