Nokia 5800 is more of an affordable mid-range handset, perhaps the iPhone’s comparisons are a bit harsh.Placed next to the iPhone, the 5800 is a lot narrower, resembling one of Nokia’s current candybar Symbian smartphones both in design and build but with a 3.2-inch touchscreen grafted on. On the plus side it’s a lot more compact and at 109 grams heavy, very lightweight..
The 5800 might just be Nokia best music phone yet with an integrated 3.5mm headphone jack to plug in your quality cans and a bundled 8GB microSD card to store around 2,000 averaged sized MP3 tracks. Its audio performance is also first rate, serving up a dynamic sound through the headphones and a loud, surprisingly distortion free noise over its built-in speakers. There’s also a direct link to Nokia’s Music Store to download tracks over-the-air.
But the 5800’s talent don’t end on the music front with high speeds connectivity covered by HSDPA and onboard Wi-Fi while the built-in GPS and Nokia Maps combo provides steady A to B navigation. Its iPhone-eclipsing autofocus-led 3.2-megapixel is also pretty decent, if lacking in strong detail but the smoothish VGA-quality video capture performance at 30fps is a major bonus at this level.

Great sounding music player
Top music player set
High speed connectivity options
Impressive video recording capabilities
One of the things that had everybody so eager to see this new phone was the 5800's new touch-based user interface. Nokia have dabbled with animated user interfaces before on their phones, but they've never combined an animated interface with a touchscreen in quite the same way as they have with the 5800.
For example, when browsing through your photos, you can go from one photo to the next just by swiping the screen. Although the iPhone has been doing this since the day it was first released, this is the fist time that a Nokia phone has done it, and so you can see why people have been calling this the iPhone killer.
Nokia 5800 camera
The Nokia 5800 is designed primarily for use as a media player phone rather than a camera phone, and so its camera and video features aren't quite as good as on some other phones. The camera, for example, is only 3.2 megapixels, although it does come with a variety of different settings for getting the best photos you can, as well as Carl Zeiss optics.
In addition, with dual LED flash, it's actually surprisingly good at taking photos in low light conditions. As such, although it may not have the largest megapixels, it's certainly able to hold its own compared to many other camera phones on the market.
Summary
The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is a fantastic music phone. It combines the ease of use and intuitive nature of the iPhone's user interface with the feature set that Nokia is known for in a phone that must be one of the bargains of the Century! At just £250, the Nokia 5800 is almost too good to be true - touchscreen controls, great Web browsing, camera, video camera, accelerometer, Wi-Fi, 3.5G HSDPA - the list goes on!
It's extremely usable, looks great, will do pretty much whatever you want a phone to do, and is extremely good value. 9/10
p/s: kalau tak mampu nak beli iPhone, dapat yang ni pun ok kan?
