Equipped with a 3.2 megapixel camera with dual LED flash, an nHD 640 x 360 display, a second camera for video calls, built-in GPS and 8GB of memory as standard (upgradable to 16GB), you are certainly getting a lot of bang for your buck with the 5800. Despite running on shiny Symbian S60 5th edition touchscreen software, the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic feels like business as usual, with their standard 4 x 3 icon layout behind a strangely sparse home screen. It is definitely an evolution rather than a revolution, as the Nokia interface is easy to navigate if you’ve ever been exposed to any handset from the Finnish manufacturer in the last few years. The phone is tailored to be functional from both portrait and landscape, but the first thing noticed when trying to take advantage of this is that the 5800 hates left handed people. Hates them.

The accelerometer only works when turning the phone to the left through 90 degrees, which means all of the features from the media playback to browsing to even navigating the menus has to be done with the phone tilted the ‘wrong’ way for me. In turn, using the plectrum shaped of the two included styli (it is a music phone) in the wrong hand became a chore, and really left a steeper learning curve to using the phone than expected. Another thing that took some getting used to was the inconsistency of the user interface in terms of how to navigate. Sometimes item selection required a single tap, other times a double press was required, some menus used the iPhone ‘grab to scroll’ method, whilst others need the sidebar for scrolling up and down Windows Mobile-style. On top of that comes a media bar touch key existing above the entire touchscreen next to the ‘XpressMusic’ logo, giving instant access to a dropdown menu for music, images, media sharing, video and browsing.

A welcome addition, just the addition of yet another method of navigation smacks of indecision as to the direction of the first Nokia touch phone. This extends to entering text for messaging and the like. Offering a traditional alphanumeric keypad, fully QWERTY, half-screen QWERTY and handwriting recognition seems gross overcompensation for not finding a definitive reliable input on their screen.

Or perhaps they are still thinking about the Asian market, who are still big on character inputs and stylus use whilst the rest of the world goes touch crazy… The inputs using a finger do often feel woolly and unsure unless the screen is pressed what feels far too hard, and even the impressive haptic feedback is insufficient if speed is of the essence when composing a message. The 5800 definitely seems happier when using the stylus, or even the plectrum.

One place the 5800 XpressMusic definitely impressed was multimedia. The video playback was crisp and clear, and the 16:9 aspect ratio came into it’s own when watching BBC iPlayer or a video off the memory card. The former is a touch choppier than the iPhone’s digital output of the Beeb’s finest, but the picture quality is still excellent. Audio is nice, the stereo speakers on the left side of the 5800 belt out the tunes at a fair whack, and the music options in terms of playback are more than enough for an aficionado. The headphone jack is placed dead centre in the top of the phone, and is entirely welcome.

Browsing with the Nokia is…average. Having been spoiled rotten by slick Opera and Safari on other touchy phones, the Nokia browser is adequate, but lacks the sweet zooming and text rendering options the others have.
