  6. @skidrow. One word: idiot…
    Thats like comparing a bike to a car. Well maybe not that extreme. Maybe like comparing u to an athlete. Athlete might be better but doesnt mean your crap?

  10. Downloaded the new maps, now beats my garmin (and I love that little thing). Voice guided gps preloaded maps. Got the betalab photobrowser too, I have every apps my friend has on his ipone and altough this is less ideal to edit office docs, I still like my 5800 way more. It looks more like a phone not a mirror or makeup kit :). How many apps you need anyhow? Ovi has tons of them for free or for very low prices, I have over a dozen cool themes what I like out of the available 100s, a good camera/video, wifi, 3g, and I don’t have to pay $400 plus on a data plan if I don’t want to. The unlocked (att crap free) phone is $269.00 vs the unlocked $800 iphone prefilled w/att stuff, plus the data plan $$$.
    It’s more like an EVO10 and an S63. I am happy with my EVO and its speed and abilities, also its price… is almost 3rd of the 63’s. šŸ™‚

  11. @Skidrow the one word which describes you is IDIOT. you IDIOT you can’t compare $900 phone with $280 phone. see the difference in price. what do you think that in just $280 bucks you will get a star-wars kind of device. In which world you are living you crap..???? Get up and wash your face then come here for posting your reply… Next time if i will find you with such kind of posts then i will put your face into the pot and flush it… You Big Big IDIOT….. Beep Beep Beep….

  12. iphone might be better but at least with the 5800 i dont look like a total tool standing in the street rubbing my big pink dildo every time i get an sms

  14. I’ve owned the 5800XM for over 1 year. Best apps for me: Fring (w/2 way video calls via Skype), Gravity, Opera Mobile 10, OVI messaging, OVI maps, Smart Settings, Power MP3, Best call recorder, Free SMS, Qik, Autorama, iSearch, Bloomberg,Photo Browser,JBtaskman, Worldmate, Time Machine, AbbyBCR, Scribble, UPCode,Elements, Anglemeter, and some nice free games from PolarBit. I need a smart phone that is reliable, can handle media, multiple e-mail accounts, has a GPS navigator, and allows 2 way calls over wifi. The 5800 can do a lot…and some things the iPhone still cannot do. Yes, the iPhone has some wonderful features, but not all of the ones that matter most for me. I am now using the OVI ecosystem and will keep the 5800XM…until Nokia comes out with a Symbian^3 N8 on firmware revision 2 or 3.

  16. Skidrow is right. 5800 /5530 is crap … I just buy one and must say all symbian is totaly madness. user-unfriendly and non-ergonomic system ….

  17. Anyone who just bought the nokia 5800 is late on the bandwagon. The phone is great and all but it is several years old now and I would suggest looking for a newer model that has more features. If you own a Mac I would suggest getting the iphone because they are more compatible. If you own a PC I would do more research about the smartphone you are going to buy if you plan on spending more than $200.

  18. This comments forum is full of uninformed IDIOTS like ELLRIC and SKIDROW.

    Symbian is the most widely used smartphone operating system in the world – FACT. Get used to it, you bunch of BRAIN DEAD FUCKWITS.

  19. You are a total looser Skidrow…..U compare a expensive phone with this one…..u r a looser and mind u…u r a crap man

  20. Dude… Do not compare the Iphone with the 5800.

    First off, check which one you want based on… well… your WANTS

    it all depends on what you WANT from the phone.

    Iphone is better if you want to do more than organize your life, play a few games, call and recieve calls and send text messages with a decent touch screen. I am happy with it.

    I would not be happy with an Iphone… it’s like it’s too much you know?

  21. I also think the 5800 is crap. Had mine for 8 months and it sucks. Wish I bought a used iphone instead. Even the phone part is crap since it sometimes shows caller id, sometimes not. And there is no fix for that!
    Lucky that I didnt buy any of the more expensive models like the 9700 like a friend of mine. That sucked as well but pricy like the iphone. Nokia is toast as a company since they neglected the software.

  22. The 5800 is a cheap a$$ crappy phone, I was in the market looking for a smartphone when my older one died and had to rush and decided to give the 5800 a try, well that was my mistake. This phone is simply crap, I’ve tried millions of apps, popular and not, recognized and not and the phone is just completely sluggish.
    I do agree however that you can’t compare this to an iphone but I guess you get what you pay for. I think the main prob with this phone is actually the screen maybe the X6 is a lot better.
    Symbian is not a touchscreen friendly OS and the fact that is the most used in the world doesn’t change that, is just like Windows Mobile, but a good company may be able to modify it as HTC did with WinMo and make it a worthwhile line of phones again.
    Of course now all of you fan boys can start bashing and yelling and whining and calling me idiot, or stupid or crap and all I care to say is “I don’t give a fvk what you all think”

  25. 5800 UI looks like crap, i got the SPB mobile shell 3.5 for my 5800 and all i can say is Nokia should take lessons from them. SPB’s interface is awesome, downside is its quite memory hogging, taking from 15-20mb ram.
    Using Besttaskman + RAMblow helps quite abit, highest ram i had with spb shell on was 42mb without any running apps. Usually it’ll be around 33mb ram though.

    Best browser would be skyfire 1.5. Currently the only s60v5 browser with incorporated flash 10 allowing you to stream videos from websites.

  27. @Punk: “certificate error” comes when u use pirated softwares downloaded from diff websites which are actually available in ovi n other sites where u can pay n buy. for removing the error, u can either hack ur fone or “rootsign” ur software before installation. mail me for details if u wanna know… jim_ac2006@yahoo.com

    i have both the fones, both are unique n different. what i praise for 5800 is it gives most of the hardware features (xcept processor) like 3g, wifi, memory support …. that iphone gives….that too in quite a cheap price…

  28. n ya!! for expired certicifate error, its because the software is programmed to be used within certain time (e.g.: 6 months or 1 yr) from its date of creation, its a feature that allows easy creation of try n buy stuffs… after that it will give this error….

    u can remove this error by hacking ur fone…. or by changing the date back by a year or so…..

  29. 5800 is, or at least was, a fine phone. Lot less expensive than iPhone, but in someways better features like camera for video calls, video recording and multi-tasking. It’s definitely not perfect, sort of buggy even now after the v50 update and it can be laggy as hell time to time.

    Still, especially when you factor in price with features and free navigation that works like charm without 3G-connection, there’s little to complain.

    I’ve had 5800 and then iPhone 3gs, and while iPhone is better in many ways, especially in software available and quality of that software and it’s never laggy like 5800 can be, 5800 is still bargain for the price and features.

  30. here’s the thing abt 5800.theres a reason why the word ‘xpress music’ is on the phone.the phone is mainly made for music.having popular apps for the 5800 is already a bonus.so u fuckers who say 5800 is crap just for apps, just remember that 5800 is meant for music not apps.u should have done more research before getting a 5800 and then crap abt how the phone has no awesome apps

  31. given a chance i wont be replacing my 5800 for now i need it to post photos on facebok and twitter, i also need it to chat/call with my friends on facebook, yahoo messenger, skype and gtalk.. ^____^ and above all those apps are free. and no need to jailbreak/hack my phone….hmmmm i cant imagine using a phone with an i candy ui high memory and processor speed but lacking the basic capabilities that a phone should have…. freedom

  32. ive had my 5800 for well over a year and im still very pleased with it,i installed the garmin sat nav n thats just fantastic,at the end of the day its a phone what has got everything thats needed in day to day life 75% of iphones apps are not necessary anyway,and i dont know about anyone else but i work on a building site and would not be happy taking a iphone with me knowing if it breaks im in serious trouble,i dont doubt the iphone is a good phone but the price of the iphone is absolutely crazzzzy

  33. Had the 5800 for a year or so now and was getting bored with it until I installed the SPB user interface….ITS NOW LIKE A NEW PHONE. Totally awesome. You can still run the aps and the title screen alone is far better than the OVER priced iphone. I know this sounds like an ad but trust me ….try it.

  36. You people have too much time on your hands, i’ve been looking for apps and stumbled on this site. You people need to get outdoors more, it’s better than getting all worked up cos someone said your phone is crap!

  38. i use 5800 and iphone 3gs too.
    to be honest iphone no video call,
    u cant send or recieve any kind of file to other than apple devices as flexible as in 5800,
    in default browser, u cant download any type of file especialy mp3 directly to ur devices while 5800 can do,
    cannot be a mass storage as 5800 can do,
    u cant sync ur iphone to all pc’s if u doesnt want to lose all your file on ur iphone..
    iphone is the best touch n multitouch technology for now.
    appstore is incredibly amazing..

  39. u fucking haters of 5800 that likes to have a LAME iphone describes one word to you…..IDIOTS….thats why u guys said 5800 is a crap coz YOU are a crap who doesnt know how to use a 5800…DUMBA$$E$

  40. those who says that nokia5800 is crap is a big motherfucker you should fuck yor mother you are dickhead fucker

  41. If I going to pay $25 for data plan on nokia 5800 then I would rather spend it on a better phone with more features. What the deal with the ovi market, there so little free applications and many of those time the market go down. There are tons of free applications on andriod, blackberry and apple phones that on the market and many of them can just be download from tons of websites that go straight to your phone freely.

  43. Seriously, “Those who hates nokia 5800 are big motherfuckers bla bla bla” grow up. Jesus, this page is about the best applications for nokia 5800. Why the f**k are you all talking about Iphones versus Nokias? Everyone may have their own opinions about their choices of phones but this page is about the best applications for nokias, so stop fu**ing talking about iphones. Thank you.

  45. now now guys
    ive just read this whole thing through
    my nokia 5800 is maybe a bit slow and the good apps cost money however i love my handset
    it feels right in my hand, the touch screen is good once ur used to it and the maps r brilliant.
    also ive just used a neat little app that made the maps voice instructions use my own voice.
    oh and at least the 5800 can multitask
    and has had a flash and video call function since before the iphone was born.

  46. I’ve had this phone for a year and a half, and it still suits my needs
    Instead of buying the first ever nokia touchscreen phone, how about getting a N8, you fucktards?

  47. tengo 5800 hace mas de un aƱo, es bueno, a mi me gusta, pero de vez en cuando tiene algunos problemas, como que se queda pegado, se apaga solo y otras cosas, pero eso es muy derepente. lo unico que puedo decir esque symbian tiene que invertir para mejorar las aplicaciones, porque asi como vamos, iphone, android y black berry van a sustituir a symbian en ser el sistema operativo mas grande y mas utilizado.
    tengo nokia y ipod touch, es cierto que el ipod es otra cosa y mucho mas caro, se ven claramente la diferencia de sofware.
    ojala que cambien el sistema operativo symbian, asi competiria con los grandes.
    suerte.

  49. Subject line saz APPS hint hint to you price dogs!
    It has few really useful apps,I admit.
    Where are you NOKIA,are you gonna challenge the iphone?
    Devoted Nokia fan-with failing devotion…..

  50. 5800 is a cheap smartphone and you can have lot’s of themes, games, aps. It doesn’t have graphic’s acceletor but some of games like polarbit’s are really good and pretty fast. I have Nokia 5800 and i like it. U can’t compare it to the iphone so shut the fuck up who ‘hates’ this phone. (sorry of my English im from Finland) šŸ˜€
