            Karan, 21 Aug 2009on various website i saw that 5800 cpu speed is 369 Mhz but... moreForum.nokia.com has deeper specs of all the devices and it states from v21 and up the clock speed is no longer 369Mhz it's 434Mhz but they have to something about the RAM though 60% is too much at least 40% would be good

                  Vishal Parekh, 21 Aug 2009Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Good phones but with huge lags ... morefirstly on paper the 5800 looks better than the iphone what it think vishal you choose 5800 becuase you cant afford an i phone. the screen resolutions better on a 5800 however the quality and clarity of the iphone is alot better. secondly music and applications are avaliable to directly download to the iphone.

                  the 5800 baterry may be better however the iphone screen is brighter, bigger and the processor used in the phone is alot more powerful there for it would use alot more battery power.

                  from expereince i have been in mobile industry 5 years nokia are still stuck in the past they have just released 8mp camera phone where samsung have done it 9 months ago there massive gian you made them out to be infact they stand 4th best seller in uk. being beat by apple who only been trading in phones 2.5 years.

                  the iphone is designed to run all apllications at the same time the 5800 crashes liestening to music and texting at the same time not really good.

                  iphone can zoom,video at 24fps save drafts mms aswell so you didnt really reasearch that well.

                  sure it comes in two colors but doing a bit of reasearch 5800 not doing very well

                  infact theres 4 million iphone users in uk and 200k 5800 users. nokia interface is aweful. people rather use fingers to navigate a phone than a stylus reason being stylus always get misplaced, fingers are kind of attached.

                  however do your reasearch even an idiot knows you cant compare the two machines directely. iphone is really designed for internet use where 5800 is based on media iphone does bothe better. and both phones take a 3.5mm headphones so there no different. on that side of things 5800 i concider to be one a waste of time

                              20 Reasons why Nokia 5800 is better than Apple I Phone

                              1) Size

                              The iphone is bigger in size and
                              uneasy for one hand grip. Nokia 5800 is designed to fit well into your hands. Being smaller in width, its easy to operate single handedly.

                              Iphone size: 115.5 X 62.1 X 12.3 mm
                              Nokia 5800 size: 111 X 51.7 X 15.5 mm


                              2) Weight

                              Iphone: 133g
                              Nokia 5800: 109g

Nokia 5800 Tube has no such issues plus many more amazing features included.


                              7) Colors

                              Iphone: Black for 8 & 16 GB, White for 16 GB only.

                              18) Messaging

                              Iphone: It does not support message forwarding, multiple SMS deletion, sending SMS to multiple recipients and multimedia messages (MMS).
                              Nokia 5800: All the above is possible plus it has MMS ver 1.3, message size upto 600kb, and automatic resizing of Images for MMS.

                              Nokia 5800 is Rs19,500

                              Apple iPhone 3G, on the other hand, will cost you Rs 29, 000 for the 8 GB and Rs 34,000 for the 16 GB.


                              20) Experience

                              Nokia: Ages of experience, hundreds of success stories and dozens of smart handsets in current portfolio. Nokia has about 40% market share with the No.1 spot with no close competitors. Certainly the king when it comes to brand value, service and experience.

                              Apple: First phone ever launched by Apple is Iphone, no prior experience in the telecom market. It’s a novice in the market with a very less market share despite having millions of Iphone sold.



                              Verdict:

                              Almost all the major brands around the world like Samsung, HTC, LG, etc launched their touchscreen smartphones with a hope to beat Apple’s Iphone. No-one came close to Iphone when it comes to looks, style, feel and features.

                              This is the first time a tech giant like Nokia has hit it hard with its first true touchscreen smartphone. Nokia 5800 is a real Iphone killer with way ahead features, perfect looks and great price.

                              Bravo Nokia, Well Done!!
