Should I go for 5800

gdatuk · 23-01-2009, 09:20 AM

I am seriously thinking of getting a new mobile.
I am sick and tired of buttons and keypads.
So touch UI, decent camera, ample memory, scalable, sturdy and rugged.

Should I choose the tube 5800? or any other suggestions?
Budget 20-25k. If less good....

krates · 23-01-2009, 01:33 PM

N85 or 5800 xm

gdatuk · 23-01-2009, 03:19 PM

But N85 has no touch screen and I already have N95 8gig...

desiibond · 23-01-2009, 03:27 PM

Go for it unless you are addicted to 3rd party apps!!

Coool · 23-01-2009, 07:58 PM

Nokia 5800.....

confused!! · 23-01-2009, 08:31 PM

Coool · 23-01-2009, 08:53 PM

confused!! · 23-01-2009, 09:01 PM

^^I thought so but was confused!! because of the yellow jersey..It was during his early days where he colored his hair ..right??

Coool · 23-01-2009, 09:37 PM

^^ ya..but now, only small hair

.

IronManForever · 23-01-2009, 09:40 PM

Go for 5800Xm. Very good buy currently.

Ihatemyself · 23-01-2009, 09:43 PM

Well THE CAMERA IS BELOW AVERAGE...BUT MUSIC QUALITY IS THE BEST EVER SEEN IN ANY PHONE...3rd party apps wud be available very soon...so dont worry abt that

hellgate · 24-01-2009, 12:06 PM

yup cam is below average especially @ night.also music is gud but not the best amongst fones.

PhB · 24-01-2009, 11:18 PM

Don't. 5800 is the first of Nokia's new series of phones and so within a couple of months, it will go into the category of low end phones. Wait for N97.

hellgate · 24-01-2009, 11:25 PM

^^^ atleast hav a luk at his max budget b4 suggesting the N97.it wont cost anything below 30k.also i've used the 5800XM and its gud fone.

krates · 24-01-2009, 11:43 PM

Hey any 5800 owner please post some pics taken via it and a review will be awesome

PhB · 25-01-2009, 11:05 AM

gsmarena.com is a good place for phone specs.

gdatuk · 27-01-2009, 12:00 PM

thanks guys.. surprised to read... 3rd party apps not yet available for it.. did i read it correctly? is it not b/wd compatible with older applications? and also am seeing a few apps cropping up in dailymobile.se, now and then. common view that the camera is below average... how much below? any samples?

hellgate · 27-01-2009, 12:09 PM

^^^ even a N70s cam fares better @ night.

if u wanna buy it 4 cam then forget it.u can luk for the Touch Diamond.its 3.2 cam is way better than that of the 5800XM.also UI is better.though sound is not gud at all.

gxsaurav · 27-01-2009, 12:28 PM

Go for HTC Touch Diamond if your budget allows. Personally saying, it is an awesome phone but doesn't justifies the heavy price tag. If it was available for 20k then it would have been the next best thing.

hellgate · 27-01-2009, 05:57 PM

^^^ if u buy from indiaplaza.in u'll get Touch Diamond for bout 22k

IronManForever · 27-01-2009, 08:11 PM

5800 and touch Diamond are for different kind of users I believe.

Coool · 27-01-2009, 08:58 PM

^^ 5800 for young people and Touch diamond for bussiness & young (some young people like it).

hellgate · 27-01-2009, 09:14 PM

if ur into modding and things like than then get the Diamond without a 2nd thought.u wont regret it.also UI is way better than any Nokia fone that i've used till date incl 5800XM.

Tech$oft · 27-01-2009, 09:21 PM

Hey bytheways whats the price of 5800!!!

Coool · 27-01-2009, 09:40 PM

^^ 19.5k

james347 · 07-04-2009, 03:23 PM

Hello guys!!

Nokia 5800 is cool choice if the budget is close to 20K. you are getting a touch screen, 3.2 MP Camera with Carl Zeiss Optics and Xpress Music edition phone. Nokia being a reputed vendor, the Nokia 5800 should be ideal choice to go for...

Tamoghno · 07-04-2009, 05:32 PM

5800's camera is not bad , but its no n82 either. ITs somewhere between n85 n73. Best way to check is to search in flickr for 5800's cam. The video recording in this cam is amazing, much better than htc crap.

But if you're lookng for well built and sturdy phone then forget it. Its the worst built phone i've ever bought.
