^ I got it for Rs.19500.

First the cam... As I said yesterday the cam is not that great in low light conditions... I cud see a little greenish tinge like the one I have seen on the E90 Communicator cam in low light. Maybe once I play with the colour & exposure controls there could be an improvement. The photos I took now were in auto mode with default settings. One more thing....I have still not removed the protective scratchguard cover on the camera lens... maybe after that falls off, there could be some improvement in picture quality. In good light conditions, the photos are decent. I would rate the N73 cam better than this cam. As of now, in dim light, even my aged N70 takes better pics than the 5800.

Music: Loudspeaker is loud enough. Its not as loud as the N73, but its loud. Through the default Nokia headphones, music quality is very good. No problems.

Video: Video Playback is good and comparable to that on the iPhone. Till date, amongst mobile screens I only liked video playback on the iPhone. But now this one matches the iPhone with its clarity. Playback is absolutely smooth without any choppiness whatsoever. I have only played the pre-loaded movie clips on the phone.... still to copy my own videos ... but I don't expect them to be anything different.

is the audio quality better than N81/N85?
so is a HTC Touch Diamond a better buy over the 5800 XM?

I haven't tried the N81/N85. So can't really comment on that.

I would anyday recommend the 5800 over the HTC Touch Diamond. The HTC Touch Diamond is just too slow and has been quite a failure worldwide. Plus it will cost around Rs.24k.
Nokia 5800 over the HTC TD anyday :)

^^ howz multi tasking??
how much RAM it has on start up??
Click to expand...

Multi tasking is quite fast. The phone is very fast overall. About the RAM... yet to figure out how to check that.... guess I will have to install Handy Taskman for that. Generally, the speed of the UI & applications is very quick.

And the Touch UI.... it is perfect except for the single click / double click confusion. Within 12 hours I have got used to when to single / double click. Still think that Nokia cud have made it simpler but its ok.
About the touch being resistive & not capacitative...... iPhone touch is good but this one is not bad either. I wud rate this touch interface better than all the Windows Mobile based HTC & Asus phones.

Another point was being raised about the scrolling down being difficult due to resistive touch. Believe me its not a problem... in fact its quite nice.

You might want to do a bit of Googling around before posting such erroneous info. The Touch Diamond has been one of the best selling smart phones of 2008 after the iPhone3G and N95 8GB.

i got my on 3rd and have been using it for 2 days, seems to work like a charm so far. minus the games and softwares available for the phone which is a major drawback for a symbian handset i think in overall performance the handset is gr8 and keeps up to the price tag nokia are offering it for.
few pro’s and con’s from me…
con’s-
the camera didnt impress me that(n73 is better), motion sensor is a bit sluggish(takes a few secs to respond, loud speaker output isnt loud compared to n73, and lastly the menu is confusing…dont know which damn option requires a double-click(will learn with time though)
pro’s-
latest firmware v11, music with headset is kewl, got 200 preloaded songs in the memory chip, build quality is not as bad as hyped.
handset was a head turner, was uisng it in the train and had guys envy it(co-incidently even the iphonite sitting opposite me)………..

i think only the nokia 5800 cud replace mt N73 me

If you are upgrading from N82, then N85 will be more or less the same thing, some positives & some negatives.
I think 5800 will give you the proper change in experience. And its not the end of the road is it.
You can change it after a few months, as you usually do ;)

^^^ ya 5800XM is new one and touch screen . but if upgrading from N82 u wont be satisfied fully only u differ in N85 is "music"

Even almost N82 is faster than N85 in operation .

5800XM has [NHD=nano high definition screen] which is good in playing MP4 videos , better music quality more & more

"But one main thing Still N82 hardware is powerful than 5800XM"
