Nokia 5800 XpressMusic review
Filed under: Handsets, Features, Reviews, Nokia, Symbian, GSM, EDGE, HSDPA, UMTS
It’s not the company’s first touchscreen device, but the 5800 XpressMusic is the first touchscreen device that Nokia has designed to appeal to the masses, and as such, there are certain expectations. By even the most forgiving of standards, Nokia is now officially late to this game — all of the remaining top-five manufacturers have been offering mass-market touchscreen phones for some time now — so there’s plenty of ground to be made up. What’s more, the 5800 marks the retail introduction of S60 5th Edition, the latest incarnation of the world’s most ubiquitous smartphone platform; future iterations of this very code will lay the groundwork for the Symbian Foundation’s next-gen offensive, so the stakes have never been higher. You might say the weight of the world — or Finland, at the very least — is on the 5800’s shoulders, but is this unassuming little slate up to the task? Let’s have a look.
