8

8/10

Pro: Battery, Applications, solid, internet, features, music playback, graphics

Con: slow interface, touch screen, scrolling, camera

It's just the perfect phones for teens, like me.
Music playback was one of the best. Loudest and best in quality.
Phone capabilities are all superb due to it's a Nokia.
Third party applications are numerous and somehow cheaper than Iphone. Lots of free applications to choose from also.
Internet browser is nice and quick.
Graphics are hands down the best.
Battery lasts longer than 30 hours with music playback and about 5 days when stanby or SMS only.
Built solidly, less exterior glitches, scratch resistant. Although oil and fingerprint lover.
Shortcuts aplenty.

Slow interface for a smartphone.
More to expect from its software, Symbian. Although updates are rolling every month.
Touch screen is not a responsive as Iphone. Scrolling takes years with a scrollbar.
Camera sucks with poor lighting conditions.
Support is awesome.

Finally, this is the first touch smartphone of Nokia. So, software errors are inevitable. This phone is like a learning stage for Nokia. Since N97 and 5530XM are both improved altered forms of Nokia 5800. Only N97 is to cater upper and more affluent figures such as businessmen. 5530 is for the hip and less affluent ones, being an affordable touch smartphone.
Nokia 5800 still successfully gave itself a niche in the phone industry. A phone for music lovers and tech savvy alike. Also for those who wants practical but does not compromise with quality.
