Nokia 5800 Reviews
devhardware reviews the Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition and writes;
“Once connected to a network, browsing the Internet is simple using the phone’s full HTML browser. The browser allows you to view websites in their full form, unlike some phones that employ WAP browsers. You can have multiple pages open at once, save bookmarks, perform searches, and more. ”

CNET reviews the Nokia 5800 Navigation and writes;
“The good: The Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition offers voice-guided navigation with text-to-speech functionality, 3D landmarks, and premium content, all for free. Ovi Maps provides accurate directions and doesn’t require a data connection. The handset also offers Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3G, and a 3.2-megapixel camera. The bad: Route recalculations are slow and positioning was frequently off by at least half a block. User interface is a bit confusing at first.”

“A solid, easy-to-use phone that will appeal to Nokia users, but the touch interface isn’t as polished as Apple’s. Good points: Good battery life; straightforward to use. Bad points: Not as slick as Apple’s offering; camera doesn’t excel”

Trusted Reviews reviews the Nokia 5800 and writes;
“I don’t think the market leaders Apple, Samsung and LG, need to worry just yet. S60-plus-touch has a little way to go before it can rival the bottom up interface designs which handsets from those companies offer.”

CNET.asia reviews the Nokia 5800 and writes;
“The bottom line: Nokia’s first outing with the S60 5th Edition platform and unlimited music download service proves to be very compelling. It just needs to address the inconsistencies in the user interface.”

PhoneScoop reviews the Nokia 5800 and writes;
“The 5800 is a decent first try, although mostly it just whet our appetite for the second round of S60 Touch devices. With improved text entry software and sleeker, slimmer hardware (think E71) Nokia could mount a real challenge to the iPhone.”

“Overall the device is a perfectly competent phone and certainly a lot better than many other touch-screen models out there, especially for the price.”

“The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is a top first effort by the Finnish manufacturer, if only it featured a multitouch interface as seen on the iPhone ”

MobileBlah reviews the Nokia 5800 and writes;
“Nokia 5800 is a worthy deal. Sure you get an interface that’s immature, inconsistent and quite clumsy but the package you get for that kind of cash is a bargain and even Nokia’s sworn enemies admit that.”

TechTree reviews the Nokia 5800 and writes;
“the 5800 XpressMusic is not a bad buy at all. The 8GB card, music quality, bundle of accessories and the seamless touch interface, which isn’t any hard getting used to, will favor your decision.”

MobileChoice reviews the Nokia 5800 and writes;
“With the Mobile World Congress just around the corner, it may be too early to bet on the 5800 as the phone of 2009, but it certainly has the wow factor. ”

PhoneArena reviews the Nokia 5800 and writes;
“We also think that it may win the hearts of many people. It offers a good functionality and performs considerably well for its price, which may play a major part in your final decision.”

CNET.uk reviews the Nokia 5800 and writes;
“. The 5800’s screen isn’t the worst we’ve ever used but it lacks the responsiveness of the iPhone’s and, at times, requires a stylus. That said, the music experience isn’t bad, so hopefully Nokia’s next touchscreen phone will do it justice”

PocketLint reviews the Nokia 5800 and writes;
“The phone might have the consumer in mind, but the stylus interface means it’s unlikely to appeal to anyone other than a Windows Mobile user looking to get a bit of street cred without losing the safety blanket of the pen”

“The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic delivers on this and allows consumers to quickly and easily access and share the content that is most important to them with the people that are most important to them.”
Making the most of touch screen technology, the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic delivers easy and fast access to all music, video and photos through a one-touch ‘Mediabar’ drop down menu.

For the best screen resolution available on a mobile phone, the 3.2″ widescreen display brings photos, video clips and web content to life in vibrant color and true clarity.
