Summary: Better than the iPhone in so many ways
Comment: I bought this phone recently and am very impressed with it. While i wasnt exactly looking for a touchscreen phone, i am not unhappy that i got one. While i can only base it on what i have read, it seems far superior to the iPhone in many ways. Yes, the iPhone looks great...but thats all I am impressed about.

Pros
----
-Call quality is crystal clear. Unbelievable improvement difference compared to my old Nokia 6300.
-Can Multitask (Listen to music and surf the net at the same time)
-3G and GSM
-Integrated GPS Antenna (GPS can be used totally offline with OVIMaps without needing to download data, Free to use, free updates)
-The GPS is fantastic, clear precise instructions and you can even record your own voice using OVIvoice from Nokia
-Comes with two pointing devices (Stylus and Plectrum)
-Input by Stylus, Plectrum or Finger, also has handwriting recognition.
-Brilliant High Resolution Screen (Great for watching dvd's)
-Stereo Speakers with great sound
-TV Out cable can be purchased to connect to a tv
-8gb Micro SC Included (expandable to 16gb)
-iTunes is not required (I can connect to a pc as a storage device and download files as normal with no other software required)
-Came with a music download voucher
-Great battery (which can be changed by the user)
-3.2mp camera with dual flash
-Video recording using flash as light
-standard 3.5mm headphone socket
-wifi
-many free applications are available on the net
-Its a Nokia

Cons - Phone
----
-No Countdown Timer (This was my most used app on my old Nokia 6300, But i downloaded Eggtimer free from the OVI store and have a timer now)
-Touchscreen (still not a fan of the touchscreen phones, can't beat and old fashioned keyboard)
-No reminder calendar item. To set a reminder i have to make a meeting. This was something i used often.
-Birthday reminders do not display the age, only the since date.

Cons - Supporting Software
----
-Ovi Suite (The original Nokia Data Suite was very buggy when it came out, but its now a very good application. Ovi Suite is no different, very buggy. They have made it look all pretty without the trusty reliability of the old DataSuite)
-Ovimusic is just plain annoying. If you have it installed and want to download music from the html page, you can't. When you visit [...] etc, It automatically opens OVImusic. I had so much trouble with OVImusic, i couldnt sign up, couldn't login, couldnt search properly. DO NOT install OviMusic, do yourself a favour, sign in to the html page and download through your browser!
-Map upgrading problems in OviSuite(I tried four times before i was able to update my maps for Australia, Three times i had an Internal Server Error). Nokia needs to offer a link to download and install offline and i am sure these problems would be avoided.

IMO Nokia should dump Ovimusic and Ovisuite and stay with the Datasuite.

UPDATE
------
After using the phone for about 2 months. My opinion of the phone has not changed. It is a great phone and does so many things that others don't.
There are a few things though that have come to my attention.

Pros
- I have found information online to be able to change the font in the phone and use true type or open type fonts. Currently i use Bauhaus as my screen font. I had a bit of playing around with different types. Some were too small, some too large and on some not all the characters displayed (but that might be because the font doesnt have a complete set of glyphs).
- I can't state enough how impressive the GPS is. I use it all the time, its very accurate and fast to get the satellites. My old GPS took about 2 minutes to get the satellites.
- I have compressed some movies down to about 500mb in mp4 format. The display is unbelievable, the movies are crystal clear and the stereo sound is fantastic.

Cons
- I have found that writing sms's are not as convenient as my old Nokia 6300 because there is no predictive text facility.
- A few times the phone has frozen, requiring me to take the battery out to turn it off. It then ran fine though. I think an update to the latest software might help. I am at least one version behind.
- The strap for the plectrum keeps coming out. I have just taken it off as i am using the stylus more anyway.

Summary: Great Phone with lot of features
Comment: I am researching to buy a ipod and using my regular phone. I realized from my research that this was the best phone available in the market. If I go for ipod, I should be taking data plan connection, but in this case it is not compulsory. GPS works with satellite and no need to have a data plan.

On one to one comparison with iphone, this is the best one and going for it.

Summary: Nokia 5800 XpressMusic
Comment: This is an excellent smartphone that my son is completely happy with after 3 weeks of use. He was able to insert the SIM card from his old phone and everything was recognized, and he also transferred all his music files easily to this device.

The touchscreen is fantastic, and there are many useful apps available for download. Good sound, a GPS, web access - it's all there. Even the phone call sound quality is clear. (imagine that!)
Still, it's overpriced, - but worth buying if you want a great product and good quality.

Summary: Amazing Phone
Comment: I have had this phone almost a month now and I am still discovering its versatility. It is well worth the cost and does everything I wanted it to do. I have AT&T as my provider and receive a strong 3.5g signal. The phone is light, fits well in the hand and the touch screen is beautifully clear and responds well with the stylus. The reception/sound quality is crystal clear, also. The volume range is very good and the stereo speakers work surprisingly well. The FM radio is a nice addition and I find I use it more than I thought I would. The MP3 player is good; however, their is one thing to note about the Nokia software you use for transferring the files from your computer. It offers an option to reduce the file size prior to downloading the music to the phone but it seems to greatly reduce the sound quality of the tracks, so I no longer use it. The wifi/browser works fine and the zoom option helps to make all print readable. The camera produces excellent photos but do not rely on the auto mode to give you the best shots. The manual options have proven to allow for much better quality results so it is best to become familiar with them. This is true with the video recorder, too. For example, indoors on auto mode the video recording is very grainy but when using low light option the results are great...In fact, better then I had expected. The video player was a little disappointing because seems with most of the movie files I have played so far there is some drag periodically which is irritating, especially right after the video has started. I wonder if a more powerful processor is needed or just a firmware update would solve the problem. Despite this I still give the phone a 5 star because it excels in every other regard. And finally, I downloaded the free flashlight software I found on the internet and now this phone can be used as a bright flashlight for times when I need to find something in the dark. I am waiting for a DivX player software for this version of Symbian (which Samsung offers for their phones using the same Symbian operating system) so I can play this popular movie format.

When I received the phone I noticed there were 2 tiny scratches on the screen (one was deep), which I couldn't notice until I was outside with the direct sunlight reflecting off the screen. So inspect the phone carefully right away for that or for any other defects. Amazon customer service offered to replace the phone but I didn't want to wait for a new one to arrive. I just wanted to mention it so you know that if you do find there is a problem Amazon is very good about offering support.
