Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Candy Bar Touchscreen 3G mobile phone handset reviews and tariffs

+ Iv found this phone really good.best iv had so far. best for music love the touch screen,and games.

+ big screen, good camera. looks good.
Connects easily to other devices via bluetooth.

- badly performing screen, doesnt turn when required and also turns when not required.
freezes all applications when you use the slide show feature.
No countdown timer built in - expected such a basic feature to be on such a well developed phone!
doesnt have the capacity to send any decent sized videos via messaging.

+ in general the phone is fine but has some problems

- bluetooth conection can be annoyingly slow to join with autherised devices and looks and feels really cheap

- too complicated

+ The phone is very stylish and the touch screen is very easy to use as I haven't lost my patience with it yet.

+ I'ts compact,fairly easy to understand without having to read all the information booklets,sound quality for both phone calls and music is exceptional,and it looks good.

- The touch screen txt feature can be annoying when you have to re type things( I have big fingers ) although the pen comes in handy(it's a nightmare to txt when you've had a few too many) ha ha.

+ very stylish and advanced telecommunication device.

- perhaps a little slow when it is turned horizontally on resetting screen

+ Everything about not bad..

- Kind of case it takes to keep the phone safe..

+ I love how the phone lets you have four contacts on the home screen so that i can quickly text/call them. also love the touch screen and the quality of music and videos. lots and lots of applications which is great, and wifi connection is brilliant.

- quite chunky compared to some other phones, not as sleek.

+ It's a Nokia, so if you've owned a Nokia before it's easy to use 'all the features'.

- Sync with Outlook isn't always a goer!

+ its fairly easy to use, has a fairly good camera and has a good memory.

Video
Case

complicated
manual too simplistic...doesn't show diagram of switches and parts

+ Fantastic and easy to use

- Camera is the worst i've had to date, sometimes screen can freeze and it needs to be turned off and on. Also for some strange reason nokia have taken away the feature to delete messages by folder rather than individually so that's a big pain!

+ The touch screen is very good and i especially like the mini qwerty keyboard which makes texting much quicker.

- The camera is not the best, haven't found the pictures very clear.

- The cover for the usb socket seems like it's about to break off each time I need to use it.

+ I love the camera and video on this, the battery life is good on this even though i heard it wasnt, I love the sound quality when listerning to music its fantastic nd the picture quality of movies too. 10/10
