After the Nokia presale action rather anmutete as a joke, because there is no phone in the Internet could be ordered and suddenly the message came: Sold !!!, you now have to wait some time to get it back. Since today it is also available at Amazon.com in red.
The display is really awesome. Large enough to read anything good can, very clear menus, better than other S60 models such as E51 or E71. Logically.
You can also adjust the lighting time of the display and adjust the brightness here.
The voice quality has pleased me very well. Heard no noise. However, the volume is lower than other XpressMusic phones from Nokia.
The player also sounds very good. Bass Booster can be switched on the tone controls, as well as several sound menu can be selected.
The RDS radio the other hand I did not like. It has only three TV channels found. The 5220, for example, had found seven stations in the vicinity.
The Empgangsqualität is also good. Where I work, usually is not a strong reception. The mobile phone is still on between two and four bars.
The touch screen can also operate very well. Adjustable is a vibration as a confirmation of the entries. You can also adjust the intensity of vibration, or turn them off entirely.
Some menus are to be triggered with a single click, for example, in the menu overview, the submenus then only by double. Why? No Idea. Here I would have preferred the single click.
The battery lasted for me just three days, however, I also played a lot. The sound of the built-in speaker is excellent and sufficiently loud. Louder than the speakers for the ears.
Another positive aspect is the notification light. Since the Dispplay completely darkens, is signaled by the central white LED at the bottom of the phone by flashing missed calls or SMS. The flashing period can not adapt to, only on or off. Ca every 20 sec. the LED lights up.
Does the phone have disadvantages? Yes, no device seems to be perfect.
The position sensor to rotate the display does not work well with my device.
Thus, the display will rotate when you rotate the phone from top to left and vice versa.
This only works machnmal. Often, the display turns without that one has turned the mobile phone. This sucks a bit. Monday device? May be. Nokia has no solution except for one chicken.
However, read in some forums that several problem. EV. Fixed with a firmware update.
The keyboard also has a bug. You should really be a QWERTY keyboard, but is a QWERTY, ie z and y are interchanged.
Not serious. Matter of habit, but a bug.
Conclusion: The mobile phone is great fun. Excellent sound for music and calls, excellent speakers and a pleasant feel delight the mobile phone Heart. Likewise, the signal light for missed calls or SMS.
Very lush is also the delivery. Everything included what you need, even a bag, a small stand, two pens, USB cable, video cable, plectrum.
Amazon.com sets still at a 25-EUR voucher for the Nokia Music Store. Could not be better!
Who can ignore the small error, gets a very good device.
The position sensor can also be switched off, so you no longer have to fret about faulty rotating the display.
Finally a successful and well-made mobile phone from Nokia.
Addendum 27.01.2009:
Even negative attention: all kinds of files such as videos or pictures can be deleted completely; not so songs. It does not delete the folder, only the contents of the folder. thus constantly remain orphaned files on the memory card, which must be removed "manually"!
Addendum 03:03:09:
There was a new firmware update for the Nokia 5800 Special: Version 20.0.012 - with this version errors have been eliminated: Qwerty keyboard is now Qwerty, deleted files like music folder will now be permanently deleted. Rotating the display or switching has improved, but still not good.
Addendum 11.06.2009:
Meanwhile, the battery lasts approximately one week. After today's perspective, I would give five stars because the errors described were largely eliminated.
