Nokia 5800 XpressMusic

I have never been someone that bothered in having the most up to date phone but as of late it seemed that everyone around me had a fancy phone gadget and I still had my basic one. I had a nice phone but it got stolen a few months ago so I was a bit weary to pay a lot for a phone. However, I did buy a simple phone after this incident but I was paying £15 a month and didn't even have free texts or minutes so thought on contract I might get more value for money. I went into my o2 shop and had a look at current models, once I found a model I wanted I started looking at prices, I didn't really want a BlackBerry I did want the Nokia N97 but the contracts were very high for ...  Read the complete review

Last month saw me upgrading my phone as my contract was now at an end; I had searched many sites and decided on the Nokia 5800 Xpress Music. Why Nokia 5800 over all the others I choose this model for a few reasons, I like the fact it had a huge memory, it is touch screen and to be honest I think it looks the part too. Given the fact it was a Nokia too I thought I really can't go wrong. In my opinion they are a huge contender in the mobile phone market. I also think it's very similar to the IPhone but for a much better deal. Cost and Availability I got mines on contract, now my contract is with Orange but when it was due for ...  Read the complete review

Back when I got my previous phone, a Sony Ericsson P990i in March 2007 I thought it was the best phone EVER, but after time the novelty wore off, and two years later it was time to get a new one! Having had the phone now for over 3 months I think I can write a balanced review! ---Bye Bye 'Perfect' P990i--- Ok, so the P990i wasn't quite perfect in the end, although it was what I wanted at the time. However, the battery was somewhat temperamental especially as it got older, and it just took so long to load up (essentially being a PDA as well as a phone) when switching it on. Most annoyingly the lens cover for the camera would come open while ...  Read the complete review

Looking for a replacement for Sony Ericsson's W595 I decided I was after something with a bit more style and substance. Having dabbled with a couple of touch screen handsets, most recently LG's Viewty, I opted for Nokia's first touch screen phone, the 5800 XpressMusic. First impressions: Wow! The handset is stylish and fairly small in the hand for such a feature packed mobile. The traditional candy bar style is given a nice lift by the minimalist screen bearing just three physical keys. I went for the understated black and red which is nice and discreet, barely masking its tech appeal. There is a nice rocker switch on the right side to ...  Read the complete review

== Nokia 5800 == I was one of the first people to own one of these phones; within a week of them being released I just had to get my hands on Nokia's first attempt at a touch screen phone. At first I was impressed with the range of features the 5800 had, and novelty of owning a touch screen phone. However within a few weeks of owning this phone the novelty wears off and you begin to see what's really 'under the hood' of this phone. == Touch Screen = First of all the touch screen, unlike the impressive iphone the 5800 offers you a choice between using a stylus or your fingers to navigate through your phone including a neat little hole in the ...  Read the complete review
