Review of Nokia 5800

Wonderfull Nokia !! This Nokia's tardy entry into the (modern) touchscreen phone space, and we've gotten some quality face time with the device. Appropriately nicknamed the Tube, the device has a number of Nokia peculiarities that could appeal to certain sensibilities, but probably won't be taking a big bite out of existing touchphone market share -- at least in the S60-phobic United States. Let's dig in, shall we?
Hardware : Resistive touchscreen, Nokia claims the decision was made to appeal to the world market, particularly asian countries that prefer handwriting recognition to keyboards. Hence the stylus input option. It doesn't ruin everything for those of us that would rather tap with our thumbs, but means pushing that much harder on the screen, and using the tips of your fingers when you type instead of the flat. The LCD itself is certainly impressive, at 640 x 360, but colors and brightness aren't complete knockouts. There's a very, very loud speaker in the back. The 3.2 megapixel camera focuses well and takes great pictures in daylight..All of this -- in addition to things like GPS, WiFi and a side-loading microSD slot (there's a free 8GB card included)
Software : It's S60, What's new is a touch-sensitive button above the screen that drops down the Media Bar for access to music, movies, photos, the browser and sharing. For text input you have four options: handwriting, mini QWERTY keyboard, full screen QWERTY and alphanumeric keypad.
