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. The stylus being made of plastic makes the phone as light as possible and easy to hold and to use with the screen. The back of the phone can be removed without out fuss to get at the battery and the SIM card which is slotted into the side of the phone but only removable by removing the back and the battery. The Nokia 5800 takes a micro SD memory card that can go up to 16GB in size that also slots into the side of the phone that the SIM goes in. The general use of this phone is simple and to task with many shortcuts through menus including the 4 buttons on the front of the phone one of which opens a shortcut menu for media applications including music...

Review of Nokia 5800 XpressMusic

Great touch screen phone from LG.

Advantages: Clear screen, easy to navigate menus, good quality camera
Disadvantages: Tinny suond playing MP3, software glitches, unable to view screen in daylight

...I've owned this phone now for around 12 months and am loving it, this is my first touch screen phone. First off, I have found the screen to be large (3.5") very clear with excellent colour reproduction. On the downside, the screen cannot be viewed in direct/bright sunlight or even outside on overcast days - this is a big disappointment, as it makes viewing messages when you are out extremely difficult. When I say I can't see anything I mean it, the phone might aswell be switched off! The battery life is great, I get as much as 7 days between charges if the phone hasn't been used much - which after 12 months use is superb, especially considering the large screen size. When the phone is used a lot I still get 3-4 days between charges, again this is excellent and I have yet to come across a phone that can better that. I have always...

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

...off to your friends. The handset features a 3.2-megapixel camera (wich is admittedly is dissapointing for such a high tecg phone) with Carl Zeiss lens. With a single touch, images or videos can be shared via websites such as Flickr or Facebook. The sound is brilliant much better than i expected. A final congrats to nokia for creating their first touch screen phone and making it the best on the market....

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...

Review of Nokia 5800 XpressMusic

Why buy an iPhone when you can have an iPod touch?

Advantages: Stylish. Great sound. Great for keeping you entertained while travelling. Easy to use.
Disadvantages: Not good for using while exercising.

...£35 per month. Minimum contract of 18 months. The iPhone is a heavy investment at over £400 a year. For a one off payment of about £165 you can have almost all the features of an iPhone with the brillant iPod Touch. In my opinion, the 8G Touch wins hands down. The easy to use mobile video and music player allow you to surf the web in WiFi hotspots, play games while on the tube and subscribe to apps from the iStore. The core use is still as an MP4 and the sound and video quality are both excellent, however, I would recommend investing in BOSE earphones and iPod dock for even greater sound quality. If you run, this is not the MP3/4 for you - it's too big to run with, even when using the arm band. Get a 3rd gen Nano - they fit great inside all Nike running short and trousers. The touch screen is easy to use and works best when you...

Touch Screen Fun

Advantages: Original, nice looking, sturdy
Disadvantages: Limited range of games

...screen. It really is excellent, and makes the DS worth the money. It is accurate, generally easy to control and the screen doesn't scratch permanently (you do get temporary scratches, but these rub off easily). There is a handy holder for the stylus on the side so it'll be quite difficult to lose it. There is also a D-Pad and four buttons for non-touch screen games, which are clear and easy to use. Another control is the microphone - I have only used this for 'blowing' games, not 'talking' games, however my experience of it is negative. It doesn't work, and you'll give yourself a nasty headache trying to blow into it anyway. -Extras- The range of extras are things like an alarm, a Wi-Fi chatroom and a customisable profile. You can also change the colour of the start-up screen to suit your tastes. These extras are neat, but nothing to...

Review of Nintendo DS Lite

The first REAL touch screen Office phone

Advantages: Office works well, full vivid HD quality screen and WORKING touch screen!
Disadvantages: Battery life can be drained quickly and data charges can be high

...The touch HD is more then I could have ever expected. When I first went in store to look at the different phone models available, I was told that this was tough competition for the iPhone. Competition? The Touch HD has outranked the iPhone one hundred times over. With its super fast touch response as well as ease of access to internet, weather, emails and SMS at the flick of a wrist this phone is one of the most user friendly touch screen phones on the market. As well as boasting a well functioning touch screen, the phone also runs on Windows Mobile Operating system. The operating system includes all the well known Office suites meaning I can work from my Office away from the Office. This has been the first time I can truly do this, with many phones stating they can do this, yet this being the only one where the full HD widescreen has...

Review of HTC Touch HD

Touch Magic

Advantages: Great sound quality, great applications
Disadvantages: Battery Life, Fingerprints, could be better

...with my old IPod was finger prints and scratches on the back of the IPod and this IPod is no different. I?ve had it only a few days now and it?s covered in finger marks and already has a few scratch marks forming. Touch Technology/Interface This is what makes this IPod different from any of the other IPod?s that have been released. I remember when I went shopping for my phone, those hounds at Phones For You, were trying to get the most amount of money out of me that they could (which still makes me laugh considering I came out with a £50 phone) but they kept on showing me touch phones. I tried and tried but just couldn?t get along with the interface. This is why I was a little worried with the IPod Touch, however as soon as I began playing on the IPod I noticed that the phones I looked at sucked, because this is true touch...

Review of Apple iPod touch 8 GB

iTouch!

Advantages: Packed with applications, very handy and easy to use.
Disadvantages: Keyboard is hard to use, no flash player and not very durable without a case.

...such as Dailymotion. This, obviously, is a drawback. Hopefully, Apple will look into sorting this out for future versions. Other than that, the Safari browser is very good. It's fairly quick, like other browsers, it depends on your connection speed as to how fast your pages load. The iTunes store is a great inclusion on the device. I like the idea that you can be sitting out with your friends and if someone mentions a good song or you hear a good song then you can just access your iTunes and purchase the song (provided your in a wi-fi hotspot). It's really good. You can then listen to it using the iPod feature, which is what the device is built around. But the other functions kind of put the iPod section into the shadows. The touch screen is very responsive and so far, using my brothers 8GB version, I haven't encountered any problems...

iTouch

Advantages: Brilliant
Disadvantages: Nono

..., therefore i'm glad i didn't upgarde to the larger memory, i think it would have been a waste! I am personnally most astounded by how functional the iTouch is, i did not realise half of what it did, and i most certainly didn't think that it would be like a hand held laptop, the only thing this thing is missing is a phone...and guess what Apple have for that...the iPhone. The screen on the iTouch is so perfectly clear that we tested is by having a look on google Earth and it was almost better than the computer I am typing on! Obviously i wouldn't recommend writing a ten page email on the iTouch, i thibnk this would be impossible and take hours, the machine is totally touch screen. But it does exactly what it is made for and it suprised me on so many levels. One piece of advice, which is pretty obvious, i think this is best kept at home...
