Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, the first touchscreen phone from a well-known company and the first to use the new version of the Symbian operating system, the s60v5. The phone is certainly better than the Apple iphone. And of course not so better than than the Blackberry storm and the wide range of HTC phones which have touch flow 3D.

The Nokia 5800 does much more than the rest of their musical brethren. Is actually a smartphone which can do much as all other smart phones out there.

Despite falling within the XpressMusic family, the popular 5200 / 5300 and most recently 5310, the Nokia 5800 shares more similarities with their older siblings.

While it has some limitations, having used the cell for a week, you could say it’s a pretty good device for some tasks, but it definitely feels like a transition model for Nokia (aww, his first since 7710 touch phone ). Still, it’s a very good alternative to many other phones “touch” midrange.

The cell comes with, with the included accessories (cable TV, handsfree, earphones, dock, and a strap with a “nail” guitar)

369 Mhz ARM CPU
Ram 128 MB Ram
81Megabytes internal capacity, in 8GBs MicroSD (included)
3.2 MP camera, LED flash. Second VGA front camera for video calls
Display 3.2 “640 360
Connectivity 2G / 3G / 3.5G, WiFi, Bluetooth 2.1, a-GPS,
Others: voice dialing, voice commands, TV output (cable included), headphone input, proximity sensor, handwriting recognition, FM Radio

Different methods for data entry – This is where everything is clear.

* It has a keyboard similar to a phone, but touch
* A miniature qwerty keyboard (for the pen / stylus). The phone includes a “claw” like the guitar, if we do not want to use the stylus.
* Qwerty keyboard on the entire screen, only in landscape mode
* Text recognition (for the stylus) in multiple languages

So you do have many options when choosing how to enter data into the phone (recommended: Qwerty keyboard horizontal)

The screen – The screen is, at first glance, spectacular. It has very good levels of brightness and contrast and, because it uses a 640 360 ( 360, against 480 other smartphones). Directly under the sun, it’s a bit hard to see the display, but on cloudy days, or within rooms, looks even better than the iPhone, reaching the same level of brightness / quality. I will writing more about this awesome phone, so stay tuned.
