Advantages: Good battery life and sound quality

Disadvantages: Bad apps, and that's when they even download

I upgraded to the 5800 last month with Orange after being a little unsure as to what I wanted my new phone to be (I previously had the LG KU900) the advisor assured me that this new Nokia was one of the best on the market. I was looking for something with a good mobile web browser and relatively quick browsing speeds plus a good camera.
Since receiving it I've not really been blown away by it at all. I've encountered problems with almost everything you attempt to do when you get a new phone. Particularly an all singing dancing one like this is supposed to be. You get very few apps already installed. Probably one of the best ones you do get is BBC i player which only works in wifi hotspots and ven then it's painfully slow or just times out. When you try and download new apps they always seem to fail. I can't do the simplest of things like upload photos to facebook. And everytime you go on the Internet it comes up in a different format.
It looks OK and the sound quality is really good for a phone, maybe it's just me but I'm extremely bored of it after one month and wish I would've just held on for the iphone.
Oh and I still haven't been able to set up email on it. Again just times out, it's not a matter of signal as 90% of the time I have full 3g signal.
I'd go with the Samsung Jet or Tocco, or if you can afford it the iphone
