CNET.co.uk Review

Editors' rating 7.9/10 Very good Provided by: What’s Is It? Touchscreen music phone What we think? It's got some great features, but the touchscreen could be improved We like Wi-Fi; HSDPA; GPS We don’t like Sometimes unresponsive touchscreen; mundane design Accessories microSD memory card, spare battery. CNET.co.uk judgement Given the current selection of touchscreen phones, we expected a lot from the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic. Sadly, it didn't deliver the experience we'd hoped for. The 5800's screen isn't the worst we've ever used but it lacks the responsiveness of the iPhone's and, at times, requires a stylus. That said, the music experience isn't bad, so hopefully Nokia's next touchscreen phone will do it justice

T3 Review   Editors' rating Provided by: WE LOVE Touschreen. Easy pips getting to our tunes WE HATE Web browsing is a tad sluggish WE SAY A sterling effort from our Finnish friends and we cant wait for the N-series behemoth to be announced.

Stuff Review   Editors' rating 4/5 Provided by: Pros Compact and neat. Internet access is flash-capable. Impressive screen and sound Cons Not as intuitive as the Jesus phone. Average battery life Stuff Says A solid touchscreen music phone, but the iPhone needn’t fear Nokia yet

What Mobile Review

Editors' rating 4/5 Provided by: Verdict We’ve been waiting patiently for Nokia’s first touchscreen Series 60 smartphone, but it seems Nokia has had difficulty changing things to operate by fingertip operation instead of real buttons; it can be a little fiddly to input text. The larger screen resolution isn’t fully utilised by every application either, although the media player and web browser are obvious beneficiaries. The 5800 is very well featured, from a good camera to excellent video recording, plus content sharing options. It’s a cheap alternative to the iPhone, especially with the optional Comes With Music service for unlimited music downloads.
