Chameleon, 10 Oct 2008...and you pay 2/3 times more for feature packs, when - let... moreActually, I dont really like touchscreen phones with no physical keypad hardware. They look so plain and blank. They're not stylish. My favorites are slide phones especially dual sliders like N85. Slide phones are great and very versatile. And for me, I'd go for the active matrix OLED screen rather than a high resolution touchscreen. U know OLED screen does not have backlight. The pixels themselves light up. So even in power saver mode, u still see the screen saver in total darkness. The screen is always "on" unless the screen displays a total black background. How are you supposed to play hardcore games with 5800? No mobile gaming can be better than a Gameboy/PSP-like gaming like N85 and the like. Another thing is, dual slider was pioneered by Nokia themselves. They did not copy it from anybody else. While 5800 is too iPhone-ish. And N85 is a "complete" phone. 5800 lacks the 5MP camera, FM transmitter, and Naviwheel which are present in N85. And N85 is really the evolution of Nokia's slider phones. It follows the design trend of N81 but more sophisticated becos of more rounded edges, better choice of materials, not cheap glossy plastic this time, smooth spring loaded sliding mechanism, and intelligently designed external media keys that change labels according to the purpose - in music mode the media keys light up the rewind/fforward/play/pause/stop labels; in game mode media keys light up the two gaming buttons; and in gallery mode the media keys light up the slideshow play/pause/atop/zoom in/zoom out labels. Very nice! And one more thing, it's got USB charging. So N85 is so much better than 5800, at least in my not so humble opinion!

            Anonymous, 10 Oct 2008NOKIA N85 is much better, much nicer and much more feature ... more...and you pay 2/3 times more for feature packs, when - let's be onest - you'll never use them. This is just the beggining. One by one all new Nokia phones will have touchscreen... But hey, you just go on and be happy with your N-something.

                      my 1st phone was a Nokia 6510. i was quite satisfied with it, then the popular 7650 emerged. I bought it and I gave the former to my bro. My N7650 lasted for 4 yrs. (but i was craving really for the 9210i communicator). a lot of memories were stored (experiences as well ) w/ my 7650. lol! it was good really. but technology is so fast. I shifted to SE. W810i to be exact. Wow!!! the phone was so entertaining and great! my buddy snatched it!!! haha. Now, with me is a smartphone. The sharp-shooter P1i. i'm on the Top of the world, man! That's how i feel... But take a simple look on this.. Nokia 5800 xpress music phone... IT'S ON MY MIND. whew. tnx 4 reading my stuff.

                        Well actually that is right to some extend. Time has shown that Nokia survives every hurdle with tremendous grace and poise, its like i will be very honest here, every time i would by a non nokia cell phone, i would always wish in my heart that Nokia gave me the same features as there are in that phone i want. And well i was really considering the Omnia but THis phone gives me all i want with a really trendy gift wrapping. My only issue is the release date, which seems to be in early 2009, cant wait that long.

                          To the guy who said omnia, Xperia etc. is better than this phone. Aww I disagree with that. Am not gonna tell you why because you know already. You did not have to lie.
                          & to the nokia haters. Your just upset you wasted your money on some dumb s.e or samsung now your cursing nokia to express your anger. Stop hating. You know in your heart that nokia was, is, and will always be the best. Stop pretending and just admit that nokia is the best in your next comment. And dont be stupid!

I do have IPHONE which i love but it has alot of software problem. Edge , no Service Sign, Caller ID and youtube and many other things wrong with Iphone which I do not understand why Apple no fix the problem. So, Hope the 5800 is not copy Iphone otherwise we are in trouble again.
