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...

    about the interface. Unfortunately, there is not v40 for the U.S. Version i.e. rm428. However the interface is NOWHERE as hard as described. If you are a long time user of iphone, it might be hard, however if you rarely or never used an apple product, this phone fits perfectly. i have been using this phone for one year, and when i trys my friend's iphone, the touch feel a bit strange becuase it is capacitive so you have to use your fingerpads rather than fingernails

        comparing Walkman to XpressMusic is like comparing gold to sh't, walkman is muuuuuuuuuuch better than the xpressmusic, do not buy nokia if you want music, i repeat do not buy nokia if you want music, buy a sony ericsson walkman phone that supports Megabass, try

                          Ya that's right. 5800 review on GSMarena is quiet old and even in the past it wasn't such a bad phone. These reviews exploit every millimeter of a device and its a fact that no phone until this date can be called a PERFECT PHONE. But 5800 today is the best budget phone in its class.a user can have 75% experience of x6 on this device.

                          GSMarena please update your review

                                yup, this review needs to be updated. And if you can, make a music/sound comparison with other music phones.

                                        update your phone to v40 so you can have the kinetic scrolling and a new homescreen
