which phone is better n 95 or 5800

ya it's better but sometime gets hang

5800 xm ibest phone
n95 is also good but 5800 is best....

Well all i can say is that this phone is the bomb.

I just switched from the N95 to the 5800 and I'd have to say all the fiddling is a bit tricky, if not annoying, if your hands are larger than the hands of a child, but this is my first touch screen. I guess it's a getting-used-to-thing...

I've just moved from the N95 to the 5800 and the difference is massive. The main thing is battery life, which is more than double that of the N95. Connecting to the internet is prioritised to whatever order you like, for example mine will try two wi-fi connections first then mobile internet (I have it set this way for speed advantages). The only gripe I have it that while the GPS is really good and will pick up multiple satellites when I'm in my apartment, the only GPS programs are only; subscription based Nokia maps, Google Maps (which is slow and needs constant downloading) and semi functioning Garmin XT.
The touch function has taken a little time to get used to but work well and the voice command is amazing - no training needed, it just works.
In all the phone is brilliant and I couldn't be more pleased with it.

i am not happy with my phone

Not impressed with this phone either. Build Quality isn't great, camera picture quality isn't as expected and lots of other little annoying issues.

I know the Iphone is in a different league and costs more, however, having given the Nokia 5800 a chance, I'm afraid, I'm moving back to the legendary Iphone, nothing beats it :)

i dont even understand why ppl keeps comparing every touchscreen phone to the iphone... nokia 5800 is NOT an iphone wanna be... actually they have very little in common (yes touch screen and touch flow?) its just tech... and using it doesnt mean that it is a clone... 5800 has its pros and cons while iphone can achieve superb graphic perfomance (do to hardware acceleration), and has its push notification technology ... nokia 5800 doesnt fall behind... while its true that the iphones interface is superb ... the 5800 takes the lead in img quality / battery life / music overall perfomance (read some reviews).... they are not even in the same category... so its not personal, but dude... its like comparing a mustang with a ferrari or some =/... they are both cars but it doesnt mean mustang is a ferrari wanna be wtf...

Just check out the picture quality comparisons available on the net and you'll realize that the 5800XM's picture quality is comparable to the iPhone's. iPhone is in different league in cuteness and on "dumbed-downness", yes. Any other aspects, no. You can customize the heck out of the 5800 XM (and any Nokia Symbian phones for that matter) and there are plenty of useful apps out there to get you occupied for months. But I must admit: the flexibility and power that Symbian phones offer are not for everyone -- you gonna use your brain A BIT to figure things out; if you're the lazy type and just wish everything to be spoon fed to you, then no, this phone is not for you. Funny that the "legendary" iPhone can't even multitask and can't handle Flash-based webpages in 2010. LOL. Yeah right, nothing beats it...

just like to know how to stop the annoying voice saying the name of the caller when my phone rings?

@anne: under profiles, edit your profile (general by default) in there you can turn "say callers name" off
Another tip is that if you put in a nickname for that person, it will read out the nickname, so when my wife rings my phone says "it's your lovely wife"

i m nokia 5800 and i m very happy with this phone and i m agree with it that my phone has all features which i need generall
i wanna discuss my issue with u that whwnwver i salect my homescreen as "contact bar" then my four contacts are remain invisible when i m touching on that then after again i back to my desktop....what i do...??

can anyone tell me how to transfer the phone book from nokia 5800 to bluetooth car kit, each time i try the bluetooth disconnects whe I give the commend to add contact... its very frustrasting!!!

Hey Hello, can anyone tell me how to use the voice commands, i just don't know how to, thanks.

Hold the call key till it beeps at you and says "Speak now" on screen. :)

Love this phone! touch screen is very responsive unlike my previous Iphone and LG. The OS is easy and simple to use, the twist thing's a tad sensative but all in all excelent!

I want to have in my home screen (nokia 5800) a brief of my calendar under the web search.

In the past I had this alternative but now, I do not why, it doesn't show.

I think that must be a reconfiguration of the home screen themes,
which I don't know how to change.

Help will be appreciated.

you need to configure homescreen from the settings menu. your phone has got the default setting after it is reset.

Try setting Remote SIM mode to On in nokia's Bluetooth settings

i have a serious problem that i don't know how to fix, i hope u hv a solution. i removed my memory card and then placed it again. since then the gallery oesn't display images or videos. although i can access the memory card and see the images, they r not displayed in the viewer. also i have internet connection problem as it doesn't always read all the available connections. sometimes i can't access through the dial up service. i thought i'd restore factory settings and then reinstall software but i can't do this. i don't know the default lock code and also sometimes it requests i close all running calls and connections although i don't have anything running.
please help me out.

very good and fast touch interface, and price is now economical, its just 14000 only now. just a bit lagging. best phone in the market at its price. number of shortcuts and easy navigation...........................................

Hi there,

I got a 5800 yest and have put my old sim in it. I've got all my contacts numbers saved on both the phone and sim now but when someone calls me it only displays the number, not the contacts name. This is really annoying as I don't know who is ringing - is there an easy way to sort this out?

Thanks!

i have this problem too! Did you manage to get it sorted?

I found that the phone is very good and im glad that i made the decision to purhcase it

This prblm occurs due to same contact in both memories i.e. In sim n phone memory due to which phone get confused which to diasplay in incoming call.
dude all have to do is copy all ur cantact frm sim to phone memory and select phone memory to display contact.

actually the n97 is much more faster and better then the iphone...

Could any one of you please let me know how to deactivate the voice command.
whenever I receive a call it speaks out the name of the caller.
Please let me know ASAP

I bought one too... the gps is not actually as precise as it shoud be... the camera makes good pictures only if there is a lot of light, if you try to make a picture in a darker place, and by darker i mean inside your home for example, it will not have the expected quality. The touch screen can get scratches very easily. The handsfree included in the box is not as capable as it should be, meaning that if this is to be considered a music phone the head set has poor sound quality comparing to what sony ericsson offers for their phones (i am saying this beacause nokia is considered the top phone constructor in the word right?). The pen has a very odd shape and because of that it is a bit dificult to use. The software has a few bugs, not very annoying, but still... these being said, i must say that it is very easy to use. The interface is very user friendly.

So i will not be considered a person who looks only at the cons of a thing i must say this: If you want a good camera, buy a camera not a phone. If you want professional GPS, buy a professional GPS, not a phone. If you want the best musical quality, buy a more expensive mp3 player and some pro head sets. But, and here comes the important thing for this discution, if you want a great gadget that can do more than calling an sending text messages buy a NOKIA 5800.

whether 5800 supports third party downloadable softwares?

hey,i dont mean to sound like a dummy but how do i sign up for the wi fi/ internet access at hot spots? please reply,thank you :D

Hi,,,can any one help me....how to display date in the homescreen

This is an amazing phone. it was my first touch screen phone so it was pissing off pressing the buttons and stuff but its just something you get used to. you can get some pretty cool apps of ovi for this. the only problem ive had with this phone is that it occasionaly slows down. dunno how ts related but deleting all my messages solves this problem!(around 500 messages ;p)

I Have had this phone and everytime i have its in my pocket, it seems to switch its self off. I have to say i find this a bit annoying.. Anyone know how i could solve this problem??

Is it possible to have a "Downloads" shorcut on the main menu of the Nokia 5800 just like any other nokia handsets, we all know that the download folder can be find using the "File Manager". Anyone who can help me on this? Just send me an e-mail.
Thanks

this phone has set wrong gmt time for france,u.k. and also it hasn't to create new profile when the phone settings reset to all

Bloody excellent. Have been struggling to find how to activate the Contact voice command for months. Happened to read the right sentence in this tip, and Bam. Job done. Great !

One more trick I have Nokia 5800. Press Menu for 3-4 seconds. IT will show you all open applications. You close the applications from there it self. You just need to long press on individual application and it will show you an option to either Open/Exit.
