 Nokia 5800 review at LetsGoMobile : The Nokia 5800 is often thought to be the first Nokia touchscreen mobile phone. However, in 2003 the Finnish company already launched the Nokia 7710 with a large touchscreen, and since then, no new models were added. This model did not become a success, partly due to the strange way of calling with this device. The microphone and the speaker were placed on the side, making it rather awkward to hold the cell phone. At present, the 5800 XpressMusic is able to strengthen Nokia's portfolio and battle the touchscreen phones of other brands. • Read the full Nokia 5800 review at LetsGoMobile.

Nokia 5800 review - Phone menu
LetsGoMobile adds: "The operating system of the Nokia 5800 is Symbian, which we often find on Nokia phones. For the Nokia 5800 it is Symbian S60 v5. At first glance you would not think of it as Symbian, since the well-known Symbian menu key is not there, and the icons are very similar to the standard Nokia menu structure. When using it, however, it is clearly the extensive and pleasant structure of Symbian. Most Symbian operated cell phones are slow; opening applications and simply surfing the menu generally takes a lot of time. However; the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic differentiates itself; the menu is smooth and quick as lightning."
Nokia 5800 Xpressmusic - Digital camera application
LetsGoMobile continues: "The built-in digital camera of the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic mobile phone features a resolution of 3.2 Megapixels and a Carl Zeiss lens. Reasonable specifications, although not the most impressive ones at present. Yet, I am very pleased with the camera and the camera application. The camera opens quickly by pressing the shortcut briefly, wherever you are in the menu. Sometimes, especially in somewhat darker circumstances, it is hard to decide the composition, seeing as only two thirds of the screen function as a viewfinder. Capturing a picture is also very quick. Pressing the shutter release slightly carries out a fast focus, whilst pressing down the button completely captures the picture directly. It's also thanks to the key lock bar on the side that the phone is very useful for taking a quick snapshot. Simply remove the key lock, press the shortcut and there you go. It's an excellent application."
Nokia 5800 test
The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is Nokia's latest music sensation. With a touchscreen, 3.2 Megapixel digital camera featuring a Carl Zeiss lens, built-in GPS antenna, HSDPA support and Wi-Fi, this Nokia Mobile phone is extremely versatile, and not only when it comes to putting music on it. It features the Symbian operating system, but in a nice playful version. Read the full Nokia 5800 review at LetsGoMobile. |
