Nokia 5800 latest review Nokia 5800 review Nokia 5800 express music latest review Nokia 5800 express music review I have been using Nokia 5800 for almost 6 months now and I am extremely unsatisfied. Nokia has lost the brand image, quality of its products has detorited. Nokia has once again proved that touch screen phones are just not thier area of expertise. Problems with Nokia 5800 1. The phone does not switch on This problem happens very frequently on 5800. Although there are work arounds for this problem (remove memory card and battery), it is very annoying. Apparently, this happens when there are bad sectors/ currupt files on the file system. Whatever, software should be able to report an error and recover. 2. Touch Screen does not respond Another extremely annoying problem. You can see the incoming call but when you touch the receive button, nothing happens. I mean, common on we expect more than this from Nokia. Press menu button and only part of the screen is visible. 3. Device is slow The device is extremely slow. When you keep it on for several days (which is obviously the case with phones), the RAM memory shoots up and device performance detoriates terribly. Also,the processor itself is very slow comparied to the other smart phones in the category. 4. Potrait/ landscape switching It takes really annoying amount of time for the phone to switch between Potrait/ landscape modes. 5. Stylus socket The stylus socket turns very loose within a few months. It is impossible not to loose the stylus (I have lost the stylus and the spare:(). Guess what, the empty place holder for the stylus looks horrible. With all these problems Nokia has not bothered to release a new software in India (although there has been several releases elsewhere). I would not recommend this phone. Nokia 5800 express music is not a recommended buy.

Hi All, I bought this mobile yesterday in Bangalore. I didnt got any TV output cable along with the box. Did i missed anything else in this box? Please tell me what are all the other accessories that comes along with this...

kindly update the review for nokia 5800 xpressmusic..it would be quite helpful.

Hi Friend, I was little confuse to buy this set as I read so many reviews and all they were negative for Camera quality and Video too. CAMERA - I went to Mobile Outlet and took the Demo. I found the quality of picture is good as well as video. But yes it is lil grainy, but don’t forget r you’r buying a cellphone not camcorder or Digicam. So as I found it has a good Camera. TOUCHSCREEN – It is good. I used it in demo and it was easy to acess everything. PRICE – Go Mobile Shope running a offer of Rs.200 off on every set. So it is costing me Rs.13,300. Other wise everywhere in East Delhi, it has a price tag of Rs.13500. PUSHMAIL n OTHER – As I had a word with an Mobile Seller Exec. He said he ll install the software of Pushmail, which is free of cost. Means you can access your official mail or others. Service is free of cost as Nokia has done a Tie up with all the Service Providers. Whereas in Nokia Priority , they directly refuse for installation of Software for Pushmail. OTHER – Getting 8GB card free of cost with this handset and Some pin or card for downloading Songs. So, I thinks this would be a perfect buy in all the matters. I have also gone thru Samsung Star, LG Cookies, and HTC one. I found this set worth to buy.

guys i bought this phone 3 days back and let me tell you, other than the plastic feeling that u get after holding the phone there is no other problem. i checked the camera quality and the images were not grainy at 8pm but in bulb/tube light. The camera is not as bad as it is mentioned in review. Has lot of additional features and am enjoying the gps experience on it.Not a bad bargain...sound is good...screen is good, features are good....i like 5800

i like to buy 5800 xpress music immediately, a second hand set i expect the price below 7000, give information regarding this.

Hey guys, are you saying that nokia removed the tv out function from the phone or is it still there? Except that they don't provide any cables? And many people complain that it has a slow user interface, can a future firmware upgrade speed the phone up? Plz tell me if this is a good phone or not. Cuz I wanna buy it..

Hi guys...useful review below..few doubts..it started from 21500 and now at 12920 (including minimum 5% cash back assurance from mobile store)..is nokia planning to phase out the model or price reduced due to the customer complaints??anybody got the phone very recently and stiil facing all the problems??just want to know whether nokia has rectified anything..samsung star 3g now at 10600 at mobile store..which will be a better deal? Pls advice..

NEW PRICE - Guyz...Soon you will find new prices after Nokia 5530 XM Launch. I guess it would be around 12500.

the sennheiser headset is provided now with yr nokia 5800 , its sound quality is extremely fantastic. camera is too good when used in day time , but not bad under dark as well ( it is better than sony c510 ) . overall an inteligent buy costing around 14000

guys, i am planning to buy this phone. i have got an offer for rs. 13,600. if anyone knows any price lower than this, please do inform me. thank you!

Nokia is cheating this time(Nokia5800)- 1. picture quality is like old VGA camera (I was using N73, which has same specification but picture quality of nokia 5800 is worst). 2. Nokia says it as a music phone but music quality is same as old phones (ya, its headset jack is a good thing) 3. No adobe reader in 5800....i have to buy it for Rs. 800. 4.some times it goes off automatically. 5. now i m facing prolem, it does not boot....On switching on phone , it shows nokia logo but does not start....i have shown it to customer care twice but now again same prolem. 6. No file hide software....initially they proides u, file hide software which is a demo n like many other software they demand money after trial period. 7. Games devloped for it r pathetic.......if u like mobile games, this phone will make u cry. this phone is not compatile for most software or games u download from net.

Update teh prices..

Guys Iam phone freak. I found 5800 very good, I dont know who are the people who have rated this phone. but if you compare phone has good camera, gps receiver, wifi, 3g/edge, it is symbian phone( lots of application) unlike windows it can support more that 65000 colours, good music quality with FM. coming to touch screen it has both heat sensing as well as stylus usability, I dont know ne other phone provies it. typing on phone is easier which is major problem in touch screen phone. nokia phones are rough & touch so no handling issues. This is phone not a airplane which can makie you fly aswell, It has all the features a phone can have presently & that being such a compact phone. I hope the people who rate this understand this.

I bought a nokia5800 three months back...Tntially the firmware was not stable,I faced lot of retarts,hang etc...after that I did two firmware updates,one via nokia software updater and another one through FOTA.Now my firmware version was 21.X.X,Now my phone is performing very good and stable also

To all people who are having problems and bugs with their applications and OS in their Nokia 5800 XM, Nokia has released an upgrade Ver 21 some time back....The phone never hangs now (if it did earlier, not in my case)....The startup is also relatively quite quick....and picture quality is also said to increase (dunno how though). Still the upgrade is said to have resolved quite a lot of problems....This upgrade for 5800 is said to be in the same league as Service Pack 1 for VISTA :)

Is your experts noticed the gap in the right hand top corner of the front panel closing ? Nokia which was refusing this manufacturing defect now accepting this as a default ,which will allow ingress of moisture to the speakers and the panel. Now Nokia has send a bulletin to all their nokia care center and my set is still with Nokia from the day one i bought.

guys m sorry to say but my iPhone 3g bought at 17k is a class above this phone. I expected a good multi touch from NOKIA n they have let me down.

worst of all the nokia stuffs..musicplayer is damn stupid..try 2 avoid this

your's the best site for giving information.

very nice

Lol ... pple who say the 5800 is a bad phone = nubs in terms of mobile ... it had issues, 100% solved now ... build quality is not top notch, but its not bad either .. just that u dont get a metal finish makes the plastics body bad ?? lol .. nubs ... The OS is fast and responsive. Upgrade to v20 firmware and it solves most minor issues, and drastically improves the camera. The only problem i've faced till now is with the playback of H.264/MP4 AVC videos, probably a beta support of some kind .. anyway .. This phone, at its price point is a marvel .. A straight forward UI (albeit not even close to Iphone), a good camera and lots of neat features under the hood .. the Iphone has just too many shortcommings to beat this baby .. Nokia has done it again .

I wonder if Nokia would have gone bankrupt if they had included some good headphones with their first touch screen phone.

have had it for a couple of weeks. updated the s/w recently. the screen orientation is a problem - jumps around; bundled earphones are terrible. using sony noise reducing - music quality awesone browsing (non 3g - using edge) - no complaints some interesting applications available including Mobbler for streaming music. email client is pretty good (downloaded a exchange server sync client) on the whole no complaints so far and my usage for emails, browsing and music (streaming and from device) has been very very extensive of course camera is tricky-for indoor photos, really need to play with settings (ISO, white balance and exposure) to get decent pictures; default settings are terrible touch screen quirky - iphone is far superior but 5800 cheaper so willing to live with it. so far also has not hung despite keeping multiple apps open simultaneously

I SELL MY 5800 AT RS 3000 LOSS..........NUKSAN HOGEYA .......I HAD USE ONLY 15 DAYZ ...............YES I HAVE ALSO GOT A LISTENING PROBLEM IN SET....................

MAHA PHUDU SET HAI 5800...........KHASA SET VE

not up to the expectation,still it is ok.India people opt nokia for its battery back up it is yet to be assertained. comparatively ok

I bought 5800 on 4th Jan and within a month, i am facing problem with the earpiece. I have spoken to NPD and they have admitted that IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM. I'll have to take the phone to Nokia Care to get it replaced. Even the software hangs and phone restarts often. Absence of basic tools like countdown timer, stopwatch is frustrating. I am not happy with this phone.

Reviewer is Nokia biased. The phone doesn't deserve so much praise. Google it and you will find that Nokia USA has recalled all their initial sale phones in US b'cos of earphone issues.. same as u guys r writing. Please read between the lines folks..battery time is less than a day if u keep the accelerometer on Auto.. The screen aspect keeps changing in ur pocket when u sit or stand. Symbian OS as a touch input is cheesy and primitive. Water accretion (from condensation) is also a major issue with these phones. Nokia Maps is buggy & expensive, u r better off with Garmin Mobile XT for Symbian in case u still want to retain this phone... I had this phone for 2 weeks (Bought for wife) realised that the candy bar was an overpriced piece of Cr*p. gave it back for a lower end 5310. Keep away from it like the plague

is this mobile is very good performer rather than sony ericson and what about battry performance.

Hii i got 5800 on 3rd and its very good. its far better than all other phones ranging 20k. it has all the latest features which is very good.

very bad set, Low volume, very expensive at the price 18k. no more utilities. volume is nothing but very less.. 3.2 mp camera at 18k, it is also expensive

how to find my nokia5800expresmusic consists original spares inside the set

i purchased this handset...is very good...good sound..good video clarity...good camera...is the best mobile for nokia...go 4 it then...thanks Nokia.

mobile phone rate instalment detiles

It’s a piece of Shit. I had used it for 3 days and then disposed it off. Don’t buy now let Nokia get the problems rectified first.

bakvas phone.

hahaha . . . come on i thought u guys were tech experts. . . . to quote the reviewer "the 5800 XpressMusic could easily do with a much better camera (quality) if not a higher megapixel lens." resolution depends on the sensor . . . i dunno which cam depends upon its optics for its resolution. ps. general error. . . not expected out of apparent tech experts !

PROS: 1. Attractive: The 5800 has a stunning design and grabs eyeballs wherever you go. 2.Touchscreen feels good and offers good feedback. 3. Music quality is among the best on any Nokia phone. 4. GPS/Nokia Maps is nifty but you will have to find your way through the application first and get used to it. CONS: 1. Camera is a huge let down. If you want a phone that takes good pictures, this is definitely not it. 2. Too many bugs: My 5800 has gone for repairs twice in 2 weeks now, first to get the earpiece fixed and second, the battery was not chariging. 3. Third party apps limited: The phone's new, so it will still take a while for the apps to be developed.

i got this on friday at Rs-19200

I got a pre-book Nokia 5800 ExpressMusic on 4th Jan and within few weeks the front screen plastic mould began to come off, hoping to get a replacement from Nokia Dealer :(

i am facing a small issues like some times the mobile is showing different colors and all of sudden shuts down and restarts again???? what this could be can any one tell me

HOW DOES FRONT VGA CAMERA WORKS??AND DOES IT CAPTURE IMAGE?

I am wondering if I can use my JBL on Call speaker dock for nokia 5800 Xpress Music Any suggestions?

Overall phone is good but it's interface looks really poor...

I wonder where all these free videos are loaded in the phone? I only got the free songs! But having said that I am enjoying using the phone.the touch screen and accelerometer is good..though I wud have preferred a less fingerprint resistent build! (literally!)

prebookers got cheated, the price of the device for prebooking was 21839 and now the retail price is 19990, this all happened in a weeks time.

The phone is retailing at themobilestore for 19200...they dont have the sens pack though...if u want that u can buy from NPD for 20500...i am using the phone for few days but there is a problem in calls....tthe voice keeps fading in and out....not the king of issue i would expect from a 20k phone but i hear its a small fix from a nokia service centre...let us see...

Thanks to tech tree team...

Hi Suren I think you need to not just comment SHARE YOUR KNOWLEDGE saying this not the correct lens and that is not , PLease be complete dont comment in AIR

hi nice review there i agree to all the aspects u said except the build coz the phone build is just gr8 and typing in the qwerty keypad is just bliss as iam replyinb this from my tube.

i feel its a freat phone

AS I AM OWNING 5800 FROM JAN3RD --I FEEL THE SAME AS U SAID ABOVE

The new nokia phone is gonna be one of the best mobile/music phone launched ever...it just looks great!

What a sad little phone

No doubt, the best Touch Screen in the market (Leave alone iPhone coz its in diff orbit altogether). Nice package. Camera is a huge let down. Had I read this review before buying this one just two hours ago, i would have had many thoughts running my mind. But I think I would still be positve. And after using it, I find itz worth it.

I HAVE NOKIA N81 AND I WANT TO BUY IPOD TOUCH 16GB SHOULD I SELL NOKIA N81 AND AND BUY 5800 XM OR KEEP NOKIA N81 AND BUY IPOD. PLEASE ADVISE ME.
