Nokia 5800 XpressMusic mobile phone - First Look review

Comments

• It seems even Nokia want an iPhone but of course they could not buy one, so they had to make their own. It just underlines what a massive impact the iPhone has made, and this from a company that had no previous experience at all in telephony...
  
  Having said that, I do like the 5800 and the UI certainly looks alot better than that of the Tocco or Omnia, which simply look childish. I think it should do well for Nokia although most people who use Nokia do so because they are used to the interface and don't want to change that. Any sales they make may then be people switching over from another brand.
  
  As for me though, I switched over to the iPhone after years of using Windows Mobile and I can confidently say it is by far the best smartphone I've ever used and makes all other phones I have seen look like plastic childrens toys.
  
  I'll be sticking to the iPhone thanks. Posted by Daniel, United Kingdom
• Nokia are just coasting with this phone. They've released it under their Xpress music brand which is for the mass market. Yes the iPhone looks better but this phone does 50% more than what it does and it does the other 50% better than the iPhone. This phone will clean up because its a Nokia Xpress phone which also means its cheap (£279?). They will come out with a top of the range version made of metal etc. I for one love symbian(Psion) but had to switch from Symbian phones because they had lost their way. I currently us windows mobile and would happily move back to symbian when the right phone comes out. The iPhone doesn't cut it for me. There is a more concise review at mobile-review.com. Well done Nokia! Posted by John, United Kingdom
