The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is compatible with Bluetooth, WiFi, HSDPA, EDGE, UMTS.

Nokia finally succumbs to the fashion of the touchscreen. With almost two years late, the leading global manufacturer of mobile decided to unveil its first mobile sensory. Why so late? Nokia Did not deliberately waited to land on the touchscreen market with a product perfectly adapted to consumers’ expectations? At first glance the 5800 Xpress Music seems to be one of the most competitive terminal directly positioned competitor to the iPhone, namely a musicphone sensitive.

Package Contents
The box of the Nokia 5800 is the most complete. Besides the traditional accessories found an 8GB memory card a record in a shipping package that allows you to store unlimited music, videos or photos. Hopefully, the operators did not reduce its capacity even in the worst case remove the bundle. To avoid damaging the screen protective cover is provided.

Design of Nokia 5800 Xpress Music
Touch screen requires the facade of the Nokia 5800 Xpress Music is occupied by the broad sensitive display. With dimensions of 40 x 71 mm, it is more narrow than the Apple iPhone. It remains very comfortable. Her black dress in shiny plastic looks very robust. A colored border on the edge separates the rear cover, covered with a soft touch coating. Our only regret in terms of targets to gauge the thickness of the terminal that we would have preferred more slim (15.5 mm profile). Conversely, weight (only 109 grams) surprises. It expects to effect a heavier. Rather bare, his face displaying a terminal with three buttons at the bottom of the screen to access, from left to right, the phone interface (dialed numbers, contacts, keypad and drop) or the various menu tabs core. The last button allows you to hang or return to the home page. Clever, touch a button (on top of the screen and marked with the logo Xpress Music) displays a menu giving access to music content, video and phot and the Internet browser. Slices of 5800 contain many functions. On one side we adjust the volume, blocks or unblocks the screen and triggers the camera. On the other, inserting the SIM card or microSD card. A good idea from the manufacturer, however, that the damage it is obliged to remove the battery to remove the SIM card. At the top of the phone jack connectors 3.5 mm and mini USB can recharge the device or to connect headphones.

Finally, like most mobile phones touch screen the 5800 Xpress Music adopt a banal design by a prominent place on the display. Hopefully it proves intuitive to use.

Utilization
To use the touch screen, three options available to you. Navigation finger appears very intuitive. Only limited, writing messages on screen keyboard that can sometimes be a source of typing errors, especially for large fingers. In this case, you can use the stylus at the back and bottom terminal. This gives you more precision. Finally, the last solution: pick an original system but ultimately with little interest. Note that the screen has an accelerometer. It then switches to landscape mode when you place the moving horizontally. A boon for web display or for maps of the Nokia Maps solution. The interface is fairly simple to understand. The homepage is stripped and displays an original system of contacts VIP (up to 4) for a single click to switch a call, send a message or access information of a person. Two tabs are present at the bottom of the screen to access the phone or keyboard for entering numbers. The keys are large enough to avoid errors, even with the fingers. The main menu icons have been redesigned but is still perfectly intelligible. Scrolling is done via a sidebar. No worries not over this side. Fans of the media can directly access the contents of 5800 by clicking on the tab at the sum of the screen. Music, photos, videos, mail or Internet, everything is accessible from the most convenient shortcut. Crux of the terminal, the browser also illustrated by its ergonomics. If Safari on the iPhone is still more fluid, the solution of Opera Mini 5800 is a real reference, much more convincing than Internet Explorer for Windows Mobile. Managing or favorites zoom is perfect.

Another key: communication. In this game, the Nokia is doing well, largely thanks to a remarkable acoustics in conversation. The network grip is no problem. The 3G icon indicates the preference of the terminal for broadband. Good news for surfers and fans eager to download. Autonomy is the weak point of the device. If the results are not catastrophic you must recharge the unit every two days. A performance that diminishes significantly if you take advantage of Nokia Maps or WiFi connection.

MP3 Player
With Xpress Music label, no doubt about the strength of the Nokia 5800. Music is honored. And yet, no dedicated shortcut to the MP3 interface. It must go through the menu or via the drop-down tab dedicated to multimedia. The menu features four icons: music player, radio, Nokia music (link to the download platform OVI), podcasting. The hierarchy of titles is because it offers basic asses four criteria: artist, album, genres and composers. It is possible to edit your own playlists. In reading, the album covers displayed on the screen (provided that they have previously downloaded). In addition to the usual settings shuffle or repeat, the 5800 offers an equalizer. The different patterns of sound are inefficient, with the exception of the Bass Boost. The interest lies elsewhere, in fact, it is possible to create its own adjustments using manual adjustment of the equalizer. That should please the purists of acoustics. This is a rare quality. Worthy of the best Walkman Sony Ericsson. Even at high volume, crackling and saturation are not to hear. The kit supplied stereo is in good order. And to satisfy most music lovers, a jack, 3.5 is present. A second connector is placed at the top of the mobile. For storage, Nokia has not done things by half by giving her a musicphone Touch 8GB microSD What to store more than 2 000 titles. And if you lack inspiration, the OVI portal catalog is available. The latest hits to download in less than a minute with broadband connectivity and mobile sound system hangs.

Connectivity
In terms of connectivity, the 5800 Xpress Music makes no deadlock. It is also very comfortable on the EDGE network as 3G or WiFi. Height of happiness, the grip is good network and terminal operates mainly on broadband. For the rest, Bluetooth and USB are both version 2.0 and is responsible for trade to other mobile phones or synchronizing with your computer.

Camera
The photo is the multimedia function of the most neglected 5800 Xpress Music. While competing terminals embark for the majority of sensors 5 million pixels (with the exception of the iPhone remains confined to 2 megapixels), the Nokia chooses a target 3.2 MP. Signed Karl Zeiss lens has an autofocus rather effective. First and second terms are distinct. However the detail of the first often becomes little artistic blur on the second. If a transfer to computer can be considered a printout is not advisable. If you really want to limit yourself to traditional format 10 x 15 cm. Some options allow to adjust the brightness or other but do not venture into settings often ineffective. The flash surprised us by his power. It will magnify some dark indoor shots. On the video side, the VGA resolution is correct but the result lacks some fluidity.
