Summary: Really good phone!
Comment: This is a really good phone for all of those people looking for a cheaper option for a good touchscreen smartphone. I personally use this phone with AT&T network, a Go phone account in fact, so you can imagine that having the Wifi is a great feature for me since I don't have an unlimited data plan. I use the phone a lot to make long distance calls through skype with the program Nimbuzz and I have to say that it's excellent. Streaming videos live through Qik is also very cool. It has a good variety of apps.
As for cons, well I find it a bit unstable sometimes and I've had to reset it to factory settings twice cause certain features like the camera and music become unaccessible, and I don't even tinker with it much like some do by installing apps from other sites other than the store or installing custom firmware. This is my first touchscreen phone so I can't really judge too much the keypad but it has full qwerty and I've found it a bit of a challenge to get used to. Depending on how precise I am, sometimes I write pretty fast (Only a tad faster than T9 with predictive text) and sometimes I struggle a bit. I love the music player, and the camera and video recording capabilities are awesome. Also, the browser is more than decent, pretty speedy and you can also use Opera mobile 10 (not opera mini) which feels like a more full fledged browser than Opera mini and is also quite fast. Youtube works great, and so does google maps and GPS. Though I suggest you use Nokia maps, that way you can download the maps of your area and install them and avoid data usage, which is great for me. Brings and 8gb micro SD and I've considered getting a bigger one since the music and multimedia applications are so good :) Still haven't mastered video conversion so I can't opinion on that, but the videos it brought look awesome.
Great phone all in all, despite it's small shortcomings.

Summary: Great Nokia Phone
Comment: I had been looking for a new phone for a long time. Every phone in the AT&T store and at their online site just did not seem to be attractive. Sure, the iPhone is great, but I didn't want to commit to a 2 year contract with a required $30/month data plan attached. And I can't replace the battery myself? Can't use the phone as a wireless modem? Hmmmm, there must be a better option. Hey, what's this? An unlocked Nokia phone that doesn't require a monthly data plan and I'm not locked into a 2 year contract? I can use the phone as a modem and the battery is easily replaced? Too good to be true? Actually it just gets better from there. Don't want to incur data charges? Just go find a local wi-fi spot and you're online in a few seconds! Oh, its an incredible music/media player as well. The built in speakers are the best I have ever heard coming from mobile phone or any other small device. If I turn the volume all the way up I can rock my office when I am alone, otherwise I need to turn it down or plug in the headphones. Did I mention the GPS? Very nice feature for a phone, but it was a little slow giving directions during a trip to Seattle recently, still worked ok and helped me find my way around town. I signed up for the free trial and it was useful, but my Garmin does a better job, but the Garmin was more expensive than this phone and that is its primary function. Still a cool feature, but that's not what I bought it for. First and foremost I use this as a mobile phone! You know, talking to people the old fashioned way, by voice. And this phone does that function flawlessly as well as letting me access the internet either via hot spots or through AT&T's 3.5G network (must mean that they're half way to 4G), which blankets Southern California and worked well in Seattle too. The other features you'd expect are present as well, a decent 3.2 mg camera and video that are fun to use, 8gb of micro SD storage and easy USB connection to your computer for uploading your favorite tunes, which you can use for your ringtones. So if you want a great phone that does just about everything an iPhone does and a few things more, for less and without a 2 year contract and a required data plan, check out this Nokia, you won't be disappointed. In the interest of full disclosure, I have to admit that I signed up for an unlimited data plan for $15/month that does not carry any commitment, I can drop it at any time, but I enjoy being able to look things up or access my email while away from my office that I have continued to use it. Also, don't be concerned that this is an unlocked phone, its too easy to set up if you have an existing phone you are replacing. Just slide out the sim chip in the old phone and slide it into the Nokia. Pop the battery in and you are good to go! Now go have fun!

Summary: It's really nice!
Comment: It is a great cellphone, very interactive, and easy to learn how to use it. I have to get used to this new techonolgy and all the things that it has because I had an old cellphone. The camera seems not to take some good pics at night but I guess I have to explore more of it. I had to restart it because I couldn't install some of the coolest applications such as Hotmail Msn and others but the rest is ok. I like it!

Summary: Pleasant Surprise
Comment: This is a simple intuitive phone to use. The touchscreen is very responsive. The display is absolutely gorgeous. Web browsing is a tremendous experience if you use Operamini 5. Call quality is very clear. I could not ask for better reception. The Music player is good. The phone feels very solid and firm in my hand. The battery is not as strong as my N79 or N78, but it lasts a day, with very heavy web browsing (3-4 hours). That's probably due to the touchscreen. Videos play very well. Again, picture quality is magnificent.
This is a very powerful phone that takes time to learn and get the most out of. So, be patient and read the manual. I say this because there are more things you can do with this phone than you can imagine. At the current price this phone is a bargain. It feels a little heavy, especially when one is lying in bed, surfing the web, but not excessively so. I'm an entrepreneur, so I use this phone for business and for my own personal entertainment. Bluetooth works fine. From reading some of the negative reviews here, I think some people have not taken the time to learn how to operate this phone. I can't compare the touchscreen to Apple because I have never owned an Apple product. But I can say unequivocally that the touchscreen on the 5800 works extremely well. Some apps require a single touch, others require a double touch. After a while, it comes natural what to do. After owning a N78 and N79, I can say the touchscreen is a big improvement over a physical keypad with buttons.
After using this touchscreen, I'm not sure if I can ever go back and embrace a more traditional phone again.
