Nokia 5800 XpressMusic User Reviews

I have never experienced a problem with my handset so far and its been almost 6 months i've had it. It doesn't freeze, processor is very good, the touch screen responds very well and the sounds are extremely good. To be honest before buying this handset I bought an iPod touch just for the music and not i hardly use it since i bought this. you get a whole year of free music supply and you don't need to download low quality music from lime wire or any other sources coz you can download extremely good quality crystal clear music from nokia music. I personally have no negative comments about this phone. Though this phone focus mainly on music the still images and the videos I have taken with the camera are extremely good and clear. I don't think you'll regret if you buy this.

All those people who are pointing the disadvantages of this cell are really foolish . bec company is giving lot more just at the cheepest rates... this cell has superv wi - fi, with touch full screen net surfing is too much fast than n95 phones etc , with full 8 gb card processing of this phone is fast.. than wat els you all want more than this. Only that person can only give disadvantages and qualities who has owned it not the spectators . bec .. people always points on good product to denominate it..
rest this phone dosnt have any disadvantage and you should go for it ..
LATEST PRICE :-16700 Delhi.

Perfect touch sensitivity, excellent music player. Call quality average. Great browser. If only it didn't ddrop calls, lock up and reset requiring battery pull. The more you use it, the more you must pull battery. When it works, I love it. Nokia won't release newwest software to US yet; hope it fixes bugs, but Im done with Nokia for the crappy way they treated buyers of this phone. All retaill, by the way.

Bought this handset just 10 days ago. I really liked the features Nokia has put into it. The phone looks a great package, and has 8GB memory card included in the sales package. The Music is good enough, considering it's an Xpress Music phone I was a bit unimpressed with it's sound quality, but while listening to it on the headsets provided, it's awesome. Touch UI is good and helpful, but there is a little lag. Processor should be tweeked up a bit by Nokia to make it better.
Camera is a bit poor when clicking the photos inside a not so brightly lit room, but in the open they're excellent. Should have a Xenon flash instead of Dual-LEDs for clicking photos inside the room.
The battery is claimed to give loads of Talktime and Standby time, but while using it actually with 2-3 apllications running together, it hardly lasts a day. Should have been designed to work more with less frequent charge.
Ultimete phone for it's price otherwise...

This is probably the 20th phone I'm buying since a decade ago and I have to say it is the best so far in terms of quality, price, and Symbian.
If you're looking for a Symbian OS phone, look no further, this is the one. 
I had lots of Symbian Nokias before: E60, E65, E71, E90, N95 8G. 
This beats them all and comes closer to the N95 8G only a bigger and better screen and audio quality as well as battery life which is one of the best. It also comes with the same accessories as the N95 8G.

It's been 2 weeks since I picked up my 5800 XpressMusic. In 2 weeks I have added apps, widgets, themes, music, and pretty much everything else I could find. While initially the phone was a bit slow (I'm used to the speed of a 6120 Classic), after the latest firmware update (v21) this little gem flies.One notable aspect of this phone is its versatility. From one-handed SMS to full qwerty document creation, from video to gaming, and from phone calls to high-speed data, you can rest assured the 5800 will not let you down. The S60 OS adds to this in may ways, but the pure feature bloat? (I mean this in a good way) ensures you have what you need in a all-in-one device.With all the features I could ask for in a smartphone, the 5800 delivers on all counts. I use it as a GPS device, mobile browser, portable radio, PIM, notes-taker, entertainment device, in-a-pinch camera - and phone. The build quality is good as Nokias go (dropped once, no ill effects), the usability and general experience is excellent, and I would (have) recommend this phone to anyone looking for a touchscreen device.

I recently picked up the Nokia 5800 mx and it's pretty much what you'd expect from Nokia. It's a mid range phone with good call quality, a wealth of features and, with the latest firmware, a stable platform.  The big advantage of this phone over other Asian clones is that is uses the symbian S60 5th edition OS.  This means you can download an SDK to your computer and start developing apps for it using C++, Java or HTML.   iPhone adverts talk about an app for checking a fedex delivery or running a search for the nearest coffee show, well with the ability to write apps in HTML (with Ajax support) you can put up your own app to retrieve the data directly from fedex's web site.  It's just a matter of time before someone does this.  Also, with the up and coming arrival of the n97 (big brother and iPhone rival) the apps will start flooding in and the nokia5800 is posed to take full advantage of these with the same OS as the N97.  With a bit of luck the 5800 will also get a new firmware upgrade with the 07 is released so that it, too, can have multiple shortcut bars on the home page
Also, the touch screen is very sensitive despite being resistive technology, the camera is excellent in daylight, but very poor in low light (regardless of the flash).  menu navigation is reasonable and can be adjusted, screen is bright and generally easy to use.  With it's built in WiFi support this phone is basically a mobile web surfer with a top quality phone attached
 

Best phone I have ever had but... ...but could be even better ;)

I have used the iphone, storm, and many windows mobile touch devices. I can easily say that after using this phone for a week, it is more stable and has more features than any of those other phones...

its very nice but I've got experience that,

Main disadvantages:

Limited 3rd party software availability
UI is still immature with somewhat dodgy user experience
Touchscreen sensitivity not the best in the class
No smart dialing
Poor image quality and no GPS geotagging (geotagging is now added via firmware update)
Touch web browser not quite polished
No voice-guided navigation license
No office document editing out-of-the-box
Doesn't charge off microUSB

The Nokia 5800 is not so great. Hangs especially when new message is received. Shows memory full, close some allpications even though no applications are open. Even Nokia repair centre colud not solve this software related issues. Was disappointed when they refused to replace defective piece even though in warranty period. Would not recommend to buy. HTC models are better.

Its a pretty good all in one phone with luxeries such as touch, video playback, video recording, camera with flash, music, html web browsing and much much more and it is really fast

overall i would say that this is surely not an iphone killer not even close... can't even win samsung omina camera is the worst....

locks up on me sometimes, don't know why. ok phone i was kinda expecting more.
a little pricey for it. has somewhat of a solid feel

Hey recently got this phone ... fell in love it the first time I got it in my hand on the nokia priority (live demo) and i thought of buying a new one... it has been 10 days of me using this and i assure its a true value for money and a multimdia computer ... well to talk about its features ... Camera its good 3.2 mp is fine with me but it would be nice to expect some quality 7-8 mp camera phones from nokia to be in pace with other brand mobile phone cams ... touch and accelerometer is so fast and does make you wait ... touch screen is very sensitive and thus great indeed.. screen' brilliant but not that in the Sun ... it would be nice if the screen was made a bit wider ... music player and sound... Woh!! itzzz beyond clear and loud... its rocking... Well the processing is bit slower than other high end s60 devices by nokia  ...  video playability  is absolute marvellous ... itzz a gem in playing  quality video music  with its bombasting stereo speaker ... voice quality during call is just amazing... web surfing is to die for on 3.2" screen (rocking in landscape mode)... s60 OSS browser just rules...wifi works great...usb connection with laptops or pcs is very fast and reliable...side and main keys are very smooth to work...  main screen doesnt rotate by accelerometer (but who cares) ... touch navigation throgh gps is great ... its got the navigator in it... woh!! it has 81MB intetrnal memory and an 8gb micro SD  and can be expanded to 16 gb which i did and did not find any problems filling it to12.7 gb ... so gotta expect from nokia an large OLED touchscreen  in  this year in  coming handsets  ... well one thing has to be said symbian is great and it greatening even more with next versons like in this new 9.4 th version ...applications rock as we can edit even office documents...onscreen qwerty is bit difficult to use but better with the stylus...I'm a chatting addict  so i should say a qwerty keyboard should be there ...3g services have not yet been launched in many parts of here but luckily i can access as it is available here...well summarising it on the whole ... sim can be inserted from outside without removing the back cover but removed only by removing battery first and push the sim out...memory card can be removed or inserted from outside only Its a high end device and it should be partial calling it a mid-level phone...well expecting something still more than this from the n97 ... And last but not the least THANK YOU NOKIA

Honestly, I don't know what the hype is about the N97, this phone is amazing. I got mine a month ago, and I can't keep my hands off of it. In this last year i'v been through a series of phones looking for the perfect one, it started out with the Nokia N95 which was OK, but to bulky and not a good looking phone at all. Then I went through N82 which was also just ok again to bulky and slow. Then I finally decidied to get into the touch screen phones, first going to Tmobile G1 which I liked but didn't use the Qwerky keypad call me old fashioned but I like the old t9.So then I went to the Lg Dare which I loved but as we all know even though I work for Verizon it's still way to expensive for me. And all their phones are locked you can't do shit with them unless you use their services. So switching back to Tmobile I tried the Samsung Omnia, which was HORRIBLE. I hate windows mobile, if your going to pur your operating system on a touchscreen make it more touch friendly.
Finally I settled with the Samsung Behold, and honesly it was the best out of all them, except for the fact that it didn't have Wifi or a 3.5mm headset jack which ended up being deal breakers for me.
 
When I finally got this phone I was in LOVE, not only is it eye catching, but it does EVERYTHING i need it to do. The touchscreen is amazing, it's fast, the accelometer works great no delay. The sound quality is beyond flawless making it the best phone and the loudest, the music player and video player are pretty much amazing like the N95.And you have 4 different ways to input your information. Web Browsing is easy as ever and the antenna must be stronger on this phone cause I get service in areas where other TMO customer have 1 to 0 bars.  This phone is revoltionary and it's sad that Nokia stole it's thunder from it's own by realeasing the N97 right after.
If you want a REAL IPhone Killer, or a phone that does everything the N97 will do but almot half the price, then go with this one.

Nokias new 5800 XpressMusic is almost everything you want in a modern phone, it has a large touchscreen, it has Wifi, 3.5mm headphone Jack, Acclerometer sensor, Gps and the list goes on and on... This is a great phone for this price. GOOD JOB NOKIA!
