Here is something that I stumbled upon with the 5800 - You can play music while a call is in progress and the music will play on both sides of the call. Can you think of the possibilities?

edn1, 21 Jan 2009@ Just passing by.
I'm most certainly not but if we are ... moreyeah the review seems , very negative, putting everything in consideration (including the price and new platform) the phone is very cool and stable and will improve further. I read the review of n85 which was awarded the best n series, but n85 has the worst build quality(googled). This was not however not mentioned in the review. i loved n85 but had to go to 5800, because of the build quality issue. Guys i am using the latest firmware 5800 and lots of stuff wid the phone and it simply rocks. Well the best thing is the bigger screen makes browsing a charm and videos stunning.
In terms of features its a IPHONE KILLER for sure, however the looks department and touch screen technology goes in favour of the IPHONE.
Nokia 5800 rules (BUT ONLY IF YOU CONSIDER ALL ASPECTS)

@ Just passing by.
I'm most certainly not but if we are going to start namecalling I can see that you obviously are " retarded ".
I read the review, then I read other reviews and followed that up by watching video reviews on youtube. I completely disagreed with gsmarenas belief that the list they complied of the main disagvatages were utterly wrong, and the are wrong.
Whilst each review is done by, I assume, one individual and therefore only his oer her own opinion, this review contradicts everthing I read in another review I found online, and that is to be expected. But I fully disagree with them taking that list of " disadvantages " when it seems clear they are not at all like that.
and for the love of god will people stop calling this phone an " iPhone killer " It's nothing of the sort ! It is not and never will be in direct or indirect competition to the iPhone.

And btw - they did tell the phone is a steal, it's just that the UI is far from perfect - I cannot see a problem here.

Hi,
i think gsm arena owe us a second review, or an updated review. With the new firmware.
anyway,
i think this phone is a very good phone. For those who were looking a phone with US$400 budget should not think twice. But for those who want to upgrade maybe it best to wait another 1weeks or 1months in order to get a better (bug free) phone.
this phone with N97 will surely kill iphone

I have to say from what I have seen in other reviews of late the main disadvantages in this gsmarena review are well wrong. Voice guidance via gps IS available through license.
Judging by a video review I watched the 5800 browser is far from " Not quite polished ". In fact I thought it looked good and responded very well to touch.
I find it incredible that the reviewer would mark the 5800 down purely because it has no GPS geotagging! It isn't a major function of a handset. Smart dialling, again not a major feature of a handset which gives the reviewer no cause to make it a disadvantage.
But of the list of " disadvantages " they listed the one that I would say is *completely* wrong, judging by what I have read on various websites is " Limited 3rd party software availability ". There is an absolute ton of apps going around for these type of Nokia phones!
I don't like to think that some people are going to read this review and be put off because there those points I have mentioned are, as far as I can tell, wrong.
I mean Nokia 5800 for £249.99 sim free WITH wi-fi. For a lot of people that is an absolute steal !

The worst part of reviews on touch devices these days is reviewers almost compare. Look at the final words and half of it is dedicated to other brands, nokias position etc. Just focus on the product at hand and I think that you'll do better at your job GSM arena.

I just purchased this phone and to be honest, the phone isnt bad especially being under 400 dollars! I expected the camera to be a little bit better but in the outdoors, its great. I love the shorcuts and being able to get to almost everyhting from the homescreen. The web browsing is not as bad as the review says it is, but it isnt like the iphone. The speakers are the best thing!! and listening to music is a pleasure. The icons arent anything special but i dont care about gimmicks. BEST phone for the price!
