Nokia 5800

[Gazza77]

Anyone got one? Thoughts? Other options? I'm considering it as a replacement for my much disliked Samsung G600.

I'm currently on a £20pm contract and can upgrade to this for free. I don't want to increase my monthly payments. I mainly use the phone for music on my way to work, so a functional mp3 player is a must. Other than that, and being reasonably small and robust, I'm not too worried about spec.

Sh*t, for a touch screen.

I remember Nokias first flip phone, was an epic fail.

I feel their first touch screen will be also. The screen requires a firm, but skinny finger, it does come with a stylus pen so maybe i'm just being pedantic.

I also tried the Blackberry Storm out, that is just one big button touch screen, quite weird to get used to. iPod was not an option as I already have a iTouch and CBA with that as a phone, so I steered away from touch screens in the end as I've heard about LG's to not even touch one. In the end, got a Crackberry Bold. Bit slow on the go, and is really annoying me now, methinks it will be going back soon.

So are your views one the 5800 based on experience or just opinion over previous Nokias?

Nope, tried the 5800 first hand mate, was let use it for an hour or so in Phones4u, they tried to convince my missus to buy it too.

EDIT: I've used Nokias for a long time too. 3300/3310 was the most solid phone you will ever get
