But the iPhone is amazing. :)]]>Oct 2nd 2008 1:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/nokia-5800-xpressmusic-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/nokia-5800-xpressmusic-hands-on/Oct 2nd 2008 3:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/nokia-5800-xpressmusic-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/nokia-5800-xpressmusic-hands-on/
Looks like a pretty solid mid-range unit. I suspect Nokia will use this first device to iron out any bugs and then roll out an improved N-Series that's all singing, all dancing. I like the fact you can select your keyboard and although the browser may be a bit iffy you can always install Opera 9.5 I suppose. Plus hot swapping FTW!

Finaly, as anyone who's bought a Nokia smartphone will know, Nokia's launch firmware is always shite although they do release upgrades pretty quickly.]]>Oct 2nd 2008 1:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/nokia-5800-xpressmusic-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/nokia-5800-xpressmusic-hands-on/
It's super slow.
Has a super old UI.
And is super clunky.

The funniest part was when the accelerometer took 4 seconds to realize the photo needs to be rotated, only to show a 1) Blank screen, followed by a 2) "Loading icon", followed by a 3) Rotated photo at last.

Nokia, I wish I could welcome you to next-gen mobile UIs with this phone.

But a typical Nokia build quality though.]]>Oct 2nd 2008 1:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/nokia-5800-xpressmusic-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/nokia-5800-xpressmusic-hands-on/
This is a prototype remember.]]>Oct 2nd 2008 1:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/nokia-5800-xpressmusic-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/nokia-5800-xpressmusic-hands-on/Oct 2nd 2008 2:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/nokia-5800-xpressmusic-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/nokia-5800-xpressmusic-hands-on/
ANd, yeah, its just a pre-release unit.]]>Oct 2nd 2008 2:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/nokia-5800-xpressmusic-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/nokia-5800-xpressmusic-hands-on/
I see this more as a first attempt by Nokia to make a touchscreen phone, of which there are a lot of, and there was a few of before iPhone, and given how they're putting it in the mid-range category, I don't see how it could be seriously called an attempt at taking the iPhone head on.

If you really want to get into it, Apple is technically trying to make a Nokia killer ;)]]>Oct 2nd 2008 3:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/nokia-5800-xpressmusic-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/nokia-5800-xpressmusic-hands-on/
Well maybe, but remember we only saw Apple's immediate pre-release version of the iPhone after they'd been working on it for three years so they had that long to iron out all the bugs.

If I buy one of these - and I'm sorely tempted - it'll be six weeks or so after launch when they bring revised firmware out.]]>Oct 2nd 2008 4:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/nokia-5800-xpressmusic-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/nokia-5800-xpressmusic-hands-on/
I guess that says little about the G1 witch took about as long to develop and didn't seem to roll out as polished as the original iPhone or the tube for that matter. I'm sorry to say. I still cant grasp how HTC and Google fucked that up. Then again Android is in Beta as oppose to Symbian evolving over the past few years. I guess I'm just a little let down. The one thing I guess we can all agree on is that Winmo SUCKS. ]]>Oct 3rd 2008 12:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/nokia-5800-xpressmusic-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/nokia-5800-xpressmusic-hands-on/Oct 2nd 2008 1:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/nokia-5800-xpressmusic-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/nokia-5800-xpressmusic-hands-on/I'm really suprised about the device and UI looks better than expected and thinking how much you can change the looks and what not for your likings. Price especially is cheaper than anybody even dreamed.

I find some of these Engadget Iphone vs 5800Xm comments kind of funny thought :D C'mon Engadget you are based in USA, but haven't seen any other blog talking 5800 like you are.]]>Oct 2nd 2008 1:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/nokia-5800-xpressmusic-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/nokia-5800-xpressmusic-hands-on/Oct 2nd 2008 1:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/nokia-5800-xpressmusic-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/nokia-5800-xpressmusic-hands-on/Oct 2nd 2008 1:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/nokia-5800-xpressmusic-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/nokia-5800-xpressmusic-hands-on/

Has anyone used the Opera Mobile (not the Mini) Browser? I use it on WinMo. They also have it for S60. It is an awesome browser that is a step up above Safari for iPhone. Older versions have flash. The new beta will have it, but it is currently disabled until the final release.

So the built in browser is crappy. Internet Explorer mobile is crap too. Opera has made a much better one that can work on this phone. They'll probably have an Android version too.]]>Oct 2nd 2008 1:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/nokia-5800-xpressmusic-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/02/nokia-5800-xpressmusic-hands-on/
