Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm in the market for a new phone and money isn't a limitation. I'm also not partial to any particular US carrier, but here are some of the features I'd like to have: WiFi, GPS, good coverage in lots of places, push Gmail (a must!), physical keyboard (a must!), a touchscreen, decent battery life and a relatively slim body. And please, nothing that has a fruit logo on it. No offense to the fruit fans, though. Thanks!"
"It's because of the screen...I do not want to "double-click" to get to everything!! And none of that fancy multi-touch either
And....It's not that thin...for just an all screen phone, its probably one of the thickest.
That is my reasoning....no i am not a nokia hater, I personally own a N82 myself, and people are amazed at how "thick" it is...obviously thin form factor is the only way to go."
Nokia are the best tools out there regarding the smartphone market. Nothing right now can beat my N95-8GB (except maybe the N96 or the N85, and soon maybe the Touch HD).
No shine, no 'wow' effect ala iPhone when you see one, but for what it's designed to do there's no competition. Why ? Because its EFFICIENT to use, and have incredible possibility than an iPhone will never have. Phone, photos, videos, good music player (at least you don't have to look at the screen to use it! ...and the sound quality itself is way beyond iPhone abilities), GPS. The only dpt where the iPhone is better is webnavigation. But even there the N95 has a big advantage : you can use it with one hand only (which matters a lot as i'm in the subway 3h/day). And the 5800 will have the required wide touch high quality screen required for that. Multi-touch : fun to use but definitly not a required feature for efficiency.
Remember one thing : the 5800 isn't an high price phone, it is for mass market. So it looks like what it is : a mid-price looking phone but fuelled with killer features beating the iPhone. Imagine what the next high range Nokia will be when they'll launch it in the begin of next year. Lot of touch screen phones are coming. And there you'll find some sexy and thin looking ones.
But Nokia focuses first on fonctionnalities, which really matters to me :) I don't really care if a phone is 0,48 (iphone) deep of 0.61 (5800) seriously... I look what the phone can do. And one of those two models is week there.
