Stellar, midrange hardware but software hampered it beyond salvage

Would we recommend the 5800? Unless you like solving mysteries like "will this operation take one or two taps" and "what number corresponds to F on the keypad," no, we wouldn't. Nokia's come to the table with really good, if not stellar, midrange hardware here -- but the company's lack of willingness... More

Of course, there's no way Nokia is too late, as there are many potential touchscreen phone users... More

8/10

Given the current selection of touchscreen phones, we expected a lot from the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic. Sadly, it didn't deliver the experience we'd hoped for.

It's just the perfect phones for teens, like me.
Music playback was one of the best. Loudest and best in quality.
