Nokia 5800 Xpress Music Red
Reviewed by James Green from on 8 October 2009
The features on this phone are excellent and the screen is superb. The only negative is the use of the stylus. I am on my 3rd in 4 months and often resort to using my fingers which is sometimes clumsy.
The music and applications you can buy are just fantastic and the phone feels great.

Lovely phone, nice size and easy to use. The stylus for the touch screen is a nice feature. It is not hard to set up and the camera is fab.

Good phone with responsive touch screen. Comes with a handy stylus. Nokias have some of the best cameras on the market and this one wont disappoint. GPS like on all nokias could do with major improvements in my opinion - dont buy for GPS!

I've had this phone for nigh on 6 months now, and all in all it's great. Could you feel a bit coming??
Well there is a but - and thats teh GPS - a major reason why I bought this phone was for the navigation - and find that in cities (where you need it most) - it often can not find Satellite's. But apart from this - music player - MP4 viewing - web browsing - its great

Excellent phone ,easy to use. Shame there isn't a free turn by turn GPS app. Usual nokia easy to use menus and features. Touchscreen is excellent and the addition of a stylus is excellent something other manufacturers should consider

A superb phone. The quality of the music is superb and the camera's pretty good too. The touch screen means that you have access to a full qwerty keyboard for entering texts or browsing the internet (which you can do for free via the inbuilt WLAN).

The absolute best feature of this phone is the touchscreen and keypad, so easy to send text messages and compose emails. The music features mean you don't need to carry an ipod as well. Fantastic phone for photographs, emails, texting and music.

This is my first touch phone that I've had and I like it! however, the touchpad can be a bit hit & miss, sometimes having to press several times for anything to happen. The camera takes excellent quality photographs. And I like the way the touch pad locks when the phone is inactive for a period of time

Excellent phone, has all the features that you could ask for. The camera is the only weak point, but at 3.2 Mp, with a proper lense, its not really that weak. So if your after a phone with GPS, WiFi, Music player, Touch Screen, Camera + lots more, this is the one at a reasonable cost!

Nice Phone, very cheap for what it actually does, good touch screen, not as good as some touch screens for example HTC diamond 2, but this phone makes up for that in price.
Also the screen quality is amazing and perfect for watchin movies.

Not a bad little phone - it's no iPhone - but then it doesn't cost anything like iPhone money ... so you pays your money you takes your choice =)

Good phone. Got this as an upgrade and can't really fault it as a phone with some really nice features. There are some decent apps available via the Nokia store but they have a way to go to catch up with Apple's Iphone. Only gripe about the phone is that the camera is nowhere near as good as my old SEK850i. Worth a punt as an cheaper alternative to iphone/N97/HTC

This is an excellent handset for those who love Nokia with a twist. It has great features and the camera is fantastic, the web browsing is great quality and the screen lets u enjoy the most out of your phone.
The only problem would be the battery life, but the like anything the more you use it the quicker it dries.
Fully recommended!!!

Pretty good touchscreen phone, really. General operation is usually sharp and responsive and there are lots of good features. The accelerometer isn't as good as the iPhone's, which means that turning the phone on its side doesn't register on the screen instantly, but in general it's a good value model.

I love this phone, have had it for 9 months now and for the first time ever, I'm not hoping my contract was over so I can get a new phone. It's easy to use (I'd never had a Nokia or a touch screen before), has good features and connectivity and is an excellent music player. All in all the best phone I've ever had.

Great phone which is very functional with touch screen technology - this is the first phone I have found which has meant I can leave the iPod at home and can listen to this on the way to work - plenty of storage space for music and crisp sound through both speakers and the headphone socket, even at quite loud levels. Overall a decent phone on a good contract rate.
