Nokia 5800 XpressMusic

Too much to be truth? 1. I put Garmin software and works just like a Garmin GPS! I can also use Google maps in which you can walk or drive your car and see your position on the satellite image. 2. 3G signal is always 100% even in rural Costa Rica where I live. 3. I put Joikuspot and it works as a 1.5 Mbps router, anywhere I go! Right now I am using it to write this on my Ubuntu laptop. 4. Sync with Google Calendar and contacts fast and excellent! -why should anyone need Exchange Server anymore???? 5. Excellent camera, video recorder, I even scan documents with it even if I have a scanner around. 6. Offline multilanguage dictionary 7. Excellent video, music and audio book player 8. Bright flashlight I miss is a portable bluetooth keyboard, PDF and office reader, but all are available. Well I would love the IPhone's beautiful and smooth interfase (which is far better than any other) plus snooze options for reminders Too much and too good to be truth? N... Read more

The Nokia5800 XPress is really an outdated smartphone for a high price. Turn on WiFi is cumberson and always 3 step process through the menu. Aside the telephone functionality it has no intuitive user interface. Save the money and get a smartphone of a newer generation or keep the old cell phone and get an iPod touch.

Excellent device for a good price. You can have all the right solutions in your hand, such as internet navigation, email and multimedia. Easy to use, easy to install new and cool applications like GPS maps and games. Better than Iphone, and trust me, I'm a true Mac user. Cool design, small and light weight. The 8Gb microSD card it's perfect to store data, music and videos, but if you need more space you can upgrade it with a 16GB card.

After one year using a Nokia E-71 which I dropped and stopped working, I searched for a replacement and found this XpressMusic5800 for $219.00 OnLine. Ordered it from the blue computer store and have been "playing with it" for only 24 hours. Nevertheless, being a recently introduced device in the US, thought on sharing my first impression for those who are considering it. Users familiar with Nokia products will love how user friendly this phone is. Those unfamiliar with Nokia, might have a hard time setting up the many phone's features but it's worth your time. Once you open the box, will find a device much smaller than what you thought it would be. The most attractive thing is how narrow it is. Slightly shorter than an I-Phone and E-71, much narrower than both but somewhat thicker; a tad more than half inch. Included is a wired remote control for the player, mic/headphones, the wall charger, strap, MicroSD card and a mini disk for installing the Nokia features. On the upp... Read more

phone died in 5 days. 4 and counting attempts by nokia to repair SAME ISSUE if you find anything wrong. RETURN for REFUND immed if possible. Purhcased at NYC flagship store. I had the phone working for 1st 5 days. When the battery started to discharge, i tried charging. It didnt charge at all. Store gave me new battery saying battery was at fault. Again same issue. It wudnt even turn on with the charger connected - so clearly its not just battery problem. By the time this battery discharged , the 14 day return period was over - pretty sure they knew it. Then started the saga of sending to nokia service center - PALCO. Already sent 4 times. each time had to ship back same evening or next day. Same problem for "repaired" "replaced" and "repaired again" phone. First they claim its "repaired", then 2nd time they claim "cannot be repaired...so replaced"...why did they send it then? but the so called replaced also had same issue - how can this be co-incidence? again sent...they cla...
