[deleted post]Get the C-5 for the free navigation but if you don't use that get the 5730 for the keyboard :) or better yet if you could wait for the nokia C-6. it is a slide and touch phone with the new version of OVI maps.

I owned this phone for over 4 months, but was glad to depart with it after. I really wanted to like this phone, it seemed like the perfect phone to me: normal number pad, relatively big screen with amazing colour, a 3.2 MP with carl zeiss optics and a front facing cam, Wifi, gps, qwerty keyboard, 3.5mm jack, and dedicated gaming keys for the now defunct n-gage. On paper, it was the perfect phone for people who hate touchscreen phones and their finicky usability. I used every feature the phone offered with initial excitement.
Unfortunately, all the faults of the phone quickly made it more and more frustrating to use, as follows:
1) Camera. To say it sucks would be a major understatement. Excited by the Carl Zeiss optics? Don't be. Whoever was in charge of the camera software really dropped the ball here. 3 major problems: a) the quality SUCKS, turning out photos even worse than the 2MP camera on my now dated W810i; b) taking a photo took forever, way too long to capture those moments when you usually are glad you have a camera phone; c) the camera button made taking a sharp photo near impossible - I have an experienced amateur photographer, and I've taken perfectly clear shots handheld at 1/2 sec...the button on the phone was sooo stiff and had so little depression room that any shot, combined with the slow focusing and exposure programming, that photos taken even outdoors in the bright sun had to be taken multiple times just to get a steady photo. Worst camera button design EVER.
2) Symbian. Every Nokia user knows about this problem. The symbian system is dated, slow/laggy, and needlessly complicated with never ending menus.
3) Processor. It just couldn't handle even simple multi-tasking very well, but that's partly to blame because of the lousy Symbian OS. But the weak processing power really became apparent during web surfing...I can't even count the number of times the web browser crashed on me whenever coming across a page requiring more than 700kb to load. Very frustrating web user experience.
4) Memory card interface. This phone had major problems reading the memory card. It was nice to see Nokia throw in the 8GB card for free, but it kept randomly disconnecting for no reason. It first started out just once every few weeks, but in the last 2 months of usage, they became more and more frequent to the point where I'd get a pop up telling me my memory card was removed (even though it was still physically in the phone) once every other day. Very annoying, I'd have to find something to pop out the card and reinsert in, sometimes in the most inappropriate setting to do so. I even tried factory reseting the phone, and it would not solve the problem.
5) Wifi. It was a very useful feature, especially for regions where I didn't have a HSDPA connection set up as part of my plan, but it dropped connections much too often...just adding more frustration to the online experience with this phone.
6) The quality of the keys. Specifically the front keys (not the QWERTY keys). There was noticeable degradation over use in the interface between the keys and actions on the phone. And I'm not a hard key presser. After only 2 months of use, the D-Pad had major readability issues, most notable during n-gage and java apps. The numberpad keys also had noticeable readability issues, in java apps and using it for typing (for short messages, and for when I was in a situation where I couldn't flip out the QWERTY keyboard). And lots not forget to mention the small size and the shape of the 2 bottom corner buttons made using them more difficult that they should have (my fingers would often slip off them, and I have small hands).
7) Battery life. For a non-touchscreen phone, I was certainly expecting much better battery life than I got out of it. Average use of 4-5 hours of "talk" time (light surfing, most just updating emails, and about an hour of listening to music) on a single charge...very disappointing. Basically had to charge every day, often having to charge twice a day, usually halfway during the day, just so I wouldn't run out of battery before the end of the day.
8) Nokia Ovi. Okay, I understand what Nokia is trying to do with the whole Ovi thing, but it only works when they have enough market penetration, and they don't in the major markets. Nokia puts way too much reliance on the Ovi set-up, alienating non-Nokia users who are thinking about using Nokia, and alienating current Nokia users from their friends who don't use Nokia (and most of my friends didn't, and I'm talking about people in Canada, US, Hong Kong, Germany, Holland, and even New Zealand.) Nokia should wake up and realize Ovi will never evolve into what they hope it will be.
There you go, those were my biggest issues with the 5730. Honestly, if Nokia had just spent that one little extra bit of effort into this phone, it could've easily been one of their flagship phones. The combination of advanced smartphone, gaming, music, and the simplicity of a non-smartphone. On paper, it looked promising. Features like secondary camera, GPS, free Ovi maps, XpressMusic interface, sturdy keyboard (if your's isn't, get Nokia to fix it, it's very sturdy when working properly), and wifi were awesome, but the usability issues just made everyday use way too annoying.
It's set at a very fair price point. But if Nokia had invested just a little more, I wouldn't have minded paying an extra $50-100 USD to fix all the problems I listed above, plus adding the 850 3G band (if you're going to add 3 of the main 4, then why not 850 too?). It could've been the perfect phone! Sigh...ah well..
