Installing third party themes are being reported for causing problems on the 5800 on a few sites on the internet. So I would advise all 5800 users to abstain from installing them at the moment.

^^^ hav already used a N95 8GB b4 the N82.so the list of prospective fones is not that large.maybe i cud do with the Omnia 8GB.
i do like touchscreens.had a i710 (Win Mo) and did like the touchscreen b4 it f**k'd up.

Any Omnia users here in the forum?

Get n85. U will only miss the super fantastic xenon flash. Camera is more or less same as n82. Maybe a tad lower but u wont notice it much. I have used n82 for 10 months and been using n85 for last two months and loving it . Just be aware of poor build quality issues . Try to get a solid piece.

So Nokia 5800 Xpress Music is for those who want a phone for good web browsing due to bigger screen, & multimedia needs with the ability to show off a touchscreen device. The camera is good for casual well-lit conditions only.

Well, that defines the usage of 90% of the people out there, so looks like the next best seller.

Did I make a mistake buying a Nokia N79?

^^^ 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 .

Have u used both n82 and n85 for a long period of time to make that judgement ? n85 is as fast if not faster than n82 is every way. Even under heavy multitasking its very fast. Lack of gpu does not make much of a differance. I am totally satisfied with n85 after upgrading from n82 > n95 8gb > n85. Fantastic phone apart from the build quality issues that many early adopters suffered.

A touchscreen phone is barely usable when it comes to texting. If you watch videos and all, its fine.But most people, at least in India are more prone to texting than calling. i myself would have gone for this hone but the lack of a physical keypad is a bit repelling. i send more than 800 smses each month. :D

Not when you are a 6 2 giant and hands the size of a pool :D . I have the money with me, would have bought it but I don't think the touchscreen can take too much of power use.Say, playing cricket or football with the phone in my pocket. And i dont enjoy texting with a touch screen either. Will check out the phone though.

^^you expect me to carry that around?? :O

Right now am stuck between the 5800 and the C905. The 10k price ifference is the killer, else it would have been C905 anyday. Problems everywhere. :lol:

It's only slightly bigger than a wallet. Don't tell me you don't a spare pocket to carry one. :D
My advice: stick with your Bold for now. MWC '09 is just around the corner and both SE and Nokia are expected to release proper flagship phones. Don't you want that rumored 12MP Hikaru phone? :D

hikaru is walkman and 8 mp at that.Slated to come with Walkman 4. if i carry on waitig for devices to be announced, i will never end up with a phone watsoevr. :D

12 mp is kokura and thats gonna be announced late june or early july. But if its only a touchscreen, I would rather give it a miss.

Btw, i gave my Bold away. Now with a K750 and a C702. Now what would a 20 yr old do with a bold??Gave it back to my uncle. :lol:

newaz, back on topic. the only touch phone i have had was the Moto Rokr and it sucked at typing. Hows the keyboard when held horizontally?? I mean the non-qwerty one?? Is it typeable?? Coz i find it hard to type with both hands, such a waste.

@ dreamcatcher: The full screen QWERTY of the 5800 is fantastic. And if you intend to type with the phone in a vertical position then it even offers u the option of typing in the regular alphanumeric keypad in touch format. This option is excellent for typing in short messages.
