Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Unboxing and review.

I would have to say that the new nokia 5800XM does deserve a standing ovation. Could have made a decent starting line. We are discussing a phone designed to directly compete with the  Apple iphone here. Having deemed itself the "iphone killer" i must say this probably has the best shot amongst the other phones in this endless list of technology we now have. 

Nokia have tried a rather different strategy similar to the iphone. Rather than simpy packing in the best technology it can, it has tried to make the most socially accessible. Bit like th iTunes App store on the iphone, Nokia are soon to be releasing the OVI store, targetting at uploading content similar to the iphone onto your phone, (although MOSH already exists). They havent packed a 5-7.2 MP camera onto your phone however, it is aimed to play music instead of taking pictures. The musical quality is exceptional. Giving me the full flexibility of the bass and treble mixtures, it also supplies me with surround sound, or stereo widening as is named on the device. One thing it does brilliantly is the elimination of the fuzzing noise i believe my old N95 used to have. 

The UI itself appears to  have done rather well for itself. Like most Nokias, once you have a nack after using ONE Nokia phone, the principles apply even to other Symbian phones. The icons have been scaled up to ensure fat fingers dont have problems and the vibrating feedback gives the feeling that you have pressed a button. Something that other suppliers forgot to include when users were constantly doubting themselves everytime they sent a text message.

Sensors unsurprisingly have played a large part in this phone. A proximity sensor is placed on the top to ensure the screen is disabled when you talk to someone thus ensuring you dont accidently hang up on them. An accelerometer means that you have automatic screen rotation and flipping the phone over hangs up on incoming calls. The last two functions have me thinking whether Nokia has intentionally taken these ideas from someone called Samir Oueldi or simply a coincidence. Nevertheless, the sensors are brilliant.

Theres so much more i can say about this phone, and also a few concerns like, you know normal phone problems but i gotta go sleep now.
