Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is the latest Nokia addition to the XpressMusic series portfolio and the first to feature a touchscreen. Obviously, the Symbian operating system has been updated to the 5th version, which is compatible with touchscreen. I had the chance to play with the device and I thought I’d give you some tips and tricks that would help you use Nokia 5800 to its full potential.
Maybe some of you already know all these, but there's a slight chance that a new user still hasn't discovered all the tips that I'll be presenting. To illustrate these tips and tricks I took some screenshots that will make it easier for you to identify all the functions that you need to access.
Everything starts by waking up your device, by sliding the large button conveniently placed in the middle of the right side of the phone. The next important key for those who prefer to quickly access areas like Music, Internet, Messages, Video centre and Gallery is the Multimedia bar key. In fact, this is a touch-key, which you can find below the secondary video-call camera.
Check out the pictures to see exactly where it has been placed. The Multimedia bar contains shortcuts to the areas I mentioned above, without the need to open supplementary menus.
In case you want to change the Profile of the phone or access the Calendar to set an appointment, you only need to click on the Profile name highlighted in the screenshots.
Just because Nokia 5800 XpressMusic doesn't feature a keypad doesn't mean it’s less functional, on the contrary. These are just some tips that may help a Nokia fan get used to his new 5800 XpressMusic device. I'm pretty sure that there are more of these, but you can add them under the form of comments attached to this article.
