Nokia 5800 Xpress Music (Unlocked) review

The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic offers a sharp touch screen and compact design, it also features a 3.2-megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and 3G support

The user interface needs some work including the input and navigation methods. The Nokia Music Store is not yet available in the United States

The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic offers an attractive design and feature set, but the touch-screen phone has some shortcomings compared with the competition.

Though the cellular giant pumps out phones by the dozen, it wasn't until the Nokia 5800 Xpress Music that the company explored touch-screen cell phones with gusto (the Nokia 810 doesn't count). Also, until the Nokia Music Store launches in the...

Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition

In the meantime, Nokia have given us the Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition which (as you might guess) is a tweak of the popular 5800 XpressMusic but with added navigation options. In this case, Nokia have given a lifetime subscription to their "DRIVE" and ...

The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is the first touchscreen phone made by Nokia and it was an exciting moment indeed when we first heard about it. As a quad-band GSM device with 3G connectivity on AT&T's network in the U.S., as well as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2 ...

Nokia 5800 review

By Philip Berne

We check out Nokia's new unlocked touchscreen phone. Can Nokia's touch interface hang with the big boys? Find out in our Nokia 5800 review.

Music sounds good. Microsoft Exchange support for e-mail, contacts and calendar. Solid Web browser. Responsive touchscreen

Mediocre camera performance. Too many hardcoded onscreen keyboard options. S60 5th Edition doesn't provide the real XpressMusic experience

There are some problems that make the S60 5th Edition platform seem less than polished. Pressing the Menu key takes you to the last open menu, not the main menu. The screen orientation switch from portrait to landscape could be slow, some times taking ...

Review: Nokia XPressMusic 5800

By John Biggs

When I first saw the Nokia XPressMusic 5800 I was disappointed. We saw it last October, at a time when everyone and their dog was releasing a touchscreen phone to “beat” the iPhone. The version I saw initially was quite wonky with a touchscreen ...

Nokia 5800 XpressMusic DemoThe G.S.M. version is quad-band with 802.11b/g WiFi. Because this is an XPressMusic device, the 5800 shines at music playback. The 5800 is one of the nicest little touchscreen phones Ive used in a long while and, aside...

Nokia 5800 XpressMusic

By Marianne Schultz

The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is Nokia's first touchscreen phone and it was an exciting moment indeed when we first heard about it. As a quad-band GSM device with 3G connectivity on AT&T's network in the U.S., as well as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR, a 3.2 ...

The 5800 is quite light but its all-plastic surface doesn't lend to a quality feel. Despite this, it doesn't creak when squeezed and feels sturdy enough to withstand the rigors of daily use. With few control buttons, input is accomplished through the ...

Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Review - Phone Reviews by Mobile Tech Review

By Lisa Gade

While Nokia has ventured ever-so rarely into touch screen phone territory (we're thinking of the Nokia 7710, the first and last S90 smartphone, dating back to 2005), the iPhone craze seems to have gotten them on their way. Better late than never, as ...

Large, very high resolution display is a joy to use, especially when web browsing, viewing photos and watching videos. Excellent voice quality and reception. Familiarity of S60, yet well on its way in terms of touch optimization. Great video playback ...

In most cases the 5800 requires 5th Edition versions of 3rd party apps (software junkies take note)

Nokia's first touch screen S60 smartphone is a success overall. It's easy to use, fun and has a compelling set of features. Not to mention it has excellent call quality and reception. Nokia could add some polish and abolish those scroll bars, but ...
