Nokia 5800 XpressMusic review: Young as you feel

14 January 2009
It's touchscreen o'clock for Nokia and the stage is set for the 5800 XpressMusic. Go ahead and touch it. We did and we've got a story to tell. Now, it's technically not the first time Nokia get their hands dirty with touch screens, but it sure feels they really mean business this time. For Nokia 5800 is not the only story here...

this handset has a terrible display. cant see a thing in sunlight.. moreover the handset hangs every now and then.... some batch of handsets have a problem with the ear piece volume.. and nokia is offering to fix the issue.. Rgds

    This device is simply outstanding and its excellent feature set and price puts it beyond any other device on the market. Nokia will be hard pushed to offer an N series this year with similar functionality that is a better alternative to this superb all rounder.

        Hey guys, we can't make encashment, too much. Finaly, it's the first one, and even gods phone, when launched, comes with a lot of bugs, or not! Let's time past, firmwares comes and then we can see. What do you think? Patience.

Much more informative.Thanks man, tuk my sweet time writing it..↲ ↲Regardng d built quality ppl r telng, check out symbian-freak they did a stess n torture test on 5800.. N HTC ìs one of d worst handsets.. Slow.. Hang lyk anytg.. Poor ram, poor processor.. But hey its cheap as well.. Choose ur likngs but no phone is perfect my frnds.. But atleast nokia SE samsung try to raisebenchmarks.. Htc build HD but they dnt knw how to ctrl costng.. No offense to HTC lovers.. Let peace prevail.. There is enuf unrest in d world..

                                  Nokia high street stores are selling it for £300. However, Nokia online sells this phone for £249.

                                    Oh come on guys, this phone is so poorly made that I thought it would collapse when I held it in my hand. The plastic clicks and there are cracks all over the phone. The structure is of a very poor quality. So if you want a phone which will last longer you should look for an HTC (despite the higher price) model.
