Guys and experienced users of this phone and other Nokia touchscreen flagships, please help me out. I am about to buy a touchscreen phone and my budget is 10 to 13K. I found that 5530 and 5800 are fit in this budget but I couldn't decide finally which one to buy.

I have few doubts about 5800. As it is comparatively old in market and Nokia's early touchscreen, I feel it might not be as much good as new devices like 5530. Correct me if I am wrong. I want to know how much the difference is in the touch screen quality of both these phones. Also as I read in reviews here, 5530 and new symbian touchscreen phones have more polished and enhance UI than 5800 though 5800 is pushed with similar firmware upgrade recently. Is this difference that much noticeable, I mean does 5800's user interface looks dull compared to 5530 or is difference really negligible?

Also I want to know difference in between music, camera and display quality of both this phones if any.

I won't bothers about lack of 3G in 5530. What I want is good camera (3.15 MP at least), better touch sensitivity and user interface. Please help me to choose my device on this points and clear my doubts. I regret I am inexperienced to Nokia's touch phones. Help me.

Regards.

When you removed the battery, the phone must have activated it's default message saving memory,that is the phone memory. I think that's why you can't see your messages. Go to options,settings,other and chenge the saving memory to memory card. That should work. As for the coupon thing, i'm sorry i don't know. :-))

                I had this phone for a week before it was stolen : (. I was very impressed with it. Sound quality is great, huge amounts of apps, wlan, 8gb card ect.. It cost me 2900 rand (South Africa) which is a great deal for what you get. The camera suffers and is incredibly bad when the light is not great, but other then that i have had no problems with it. Now just in the process of saving for it again : ). If you are considering getting it i would say go for it top phone

The only reason you would buy a 5230 or its wifi counterpart the 5530 is because you can't afford to buy a 5800, or its just cheaper in general. (with no offence intended to any who owns either of the cheaper ones). Cheap phone = Cheap kit.

                    well, u can either use the pc suite, connect ur old headset and browse through the contacts, copy all the contacts on the pc, and then connect ur 5800XM to ur pc, and then paste back the contacts under the contacts session. this will do the trick. i've personally done that.

                    or maybe u can sync both the phones. it should be easy as well.

                    hope tis helps:-)
