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...

                  Misha, 15 Jan 2009Hello Amit.... I read ur reviews.....n now m confused whet... morewell if camera is your priority, i would suggest don't for 5800, but the music quality in 5800 is the best till date, really.

                  So, I would suggest you n85, as it is a decent 5mp cam and music is also gr8 here, with all the latest nseries features,vitually unlimited app support, fm transmitter etc..

                      300 euro is cheap?
                      Wouldn't you be better off with:
                      280 euro LG Viewty with 5mp Camera 120fps video?
                      270 euro LG Secret 5mp and 11.8mm thin?
                      260 euro iPhone 1gen with fluid touch interface?
                      260 euro Samsung Tacco 5mp?
                      220 euro HTC touch?

                      300 euros for a faulty interface is hardly a bargain.

                          i have this phone for almost 2 weeks with firmware V 11.0.008.
                          it is working perfect. no problem at all. i agree the camera is poor but hey there is no more problem guys. the previous firmware got much problem and now with new version all those issues already fixed.
                          so just buy this phone and enjoy
                          pls do not forget u pay 380 us $ for the phone which got these much functions
                          for me the built quality got no problem. just need update the firmware

                                    When Nokia fans start whining, you know GSM Arena got it right.

                                    A well balanced and objective review.

                                      I thought that GSM Arena was on Nokia's side, but I see they very objective, is a very true review, I was waiting this phone since was announce it, and now I don't know if I really want to buy it, for me always was an issue why not 5mpx camera? but well at least is a 3.2 Carl Zeiss but is to bad camera, and the UI is bad too, you can see is a new UI, but apple is a new UI too, and see the success they have. Thank GSM ARena, now I know I shouldn't buy this phone.I want a very fast at least 5mpx camera and touchscreen, what do u recommend??
