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...

        Tom, 24 Jun 2009Got some issues with the voice command on this 5800. Cannot... moreI figured this out eventually. Unless you activate the voice commands right at the start of the initial set up out of the box, it could lock up and not work, regardless of what you try. Needed a hard reset *#7370# then immediately after restart press the green button and hold to initialise the application. Other than that this is a great phone. The Nokia software is a bit wobbly, OVI app has crashed after a couple of weeks - which seems to be a common thing.

                no joke. this phone is absolutely crap. the worst thing of all.. is the clock. every week u have to reset it because its slow. if you think this is only a small problem. ur wrong, how many time have you used ur phone as a clock? i'm pretty sure almost every day.

                      for nokia 5800 xpressmusic users:
                      im interested in buying this phone. i just want to know if it manages to display reminders (for the day) on screen. i need to know since i don't like the typical alarm for reminders on phones.
                      I need immediate response.
                      Thank you so much.

                            Got some issues with the voice command on this 5800. Cannot get it to start working - tried everything, reload firmware, factory reset etc. The voice command menu will not open up in the settings screen. Any bright ideas out there??
