 Love this PhoneAug 20, 2010
I had some money set aside to get a gps and I got this phone from amazon warehouse instead to replace a windows mobile phone that had been a continous headache. The Nokia 5800 is great. Call quality and speakerphone is excellent. The touchscreen works great - this was my first touch screen and I didn't know if I would be ok without a 'real' keyboard, but the touchscreen is actually easier on my knuckles which would get sore from pressing small physical keys and it is faster because the landscape qwerty keyboard is bigger than typical physical keyboards. I don't have 3G so don't have an expensive data plan, and have had a great experience with just the GPS and the WiFi. I've used the GPS on short and long trips and it worked well. Some navigation is a little quirky, and some things, like updating an existing route, may not be intuitive. I was able to use the WiFi at work with my smartcard and have also used it at home. I looked online for the tips for setting it up with the certificates and settings to work with the corporate wireless network. I set up mail for exchange on the phone (free) and I can now sync my contacts, email and appointments with gmail over wifi - which makes it really easy. There are many free apps available from the OVI app store. They have everything I want/need. Do make sure you use the 'SW Update' app to update the system software after you get the phone and make sure that you follow the instructions for charging to ensure long battery life. I've done this, based on other postings I've read, and have not had any problems. The phone has been around long enough, that if you need help setting something up (like corporate wifi with EAP security settings) you should be able to search and find some tips. One other nice plus is that the headset that comes in the package has earbuds that you can unplug from the microphone control and then you can plug-in other headphones which you like better to use with the headset. The microphone/control piece is on a clip that will clip onto your collar or shirt or ... If I use a headset when making a call, I can hear the conversation better if the sound is on in both ear pieces, and this headset provides the call sound into both ears. I would get it again - it is a great price for what you get. Also the camera quality is fine (I don't expect slr quality from a phone). Video playback quality is very good. If I had optical zoom like my regular camcorder and an external mic, then this one would be just as good for recording video. If you are in the US and are thinking of buying this, make sure your cell phone company uses SIM cards (TMobile and AT&T do, for example.) One last thing is that you can do video calling using this phone to iphone and android users if they have 2 cameras like this phone and if they have fring. I wish skype had not decided to block video calls from Fring (video calls worked before July, when you could make video calls from this phone to skype users)
Son loves this!!!Aug 19, 2010
Got this GSM smartphone for my son and after a system upgrade to make sure the phone has the latest firmware, and added the otterbox skin, he now uses it for texting, added ringtones easily, checks his facebook and emails and best of all, use it as a navigation GPS tool. Download free maps on the Nokia website for practically any country in the world and it is on your phone permanently until you download a newer version. Used it during our Europe vacation.

 Please don't buy this phoneAug 02, 2010
We have used Nokia phones of different models for a very long time before we bought this phone. The experience we had with the phone is completely contradictory to what we have seen with Nokia.
Since day 1 we have had issues in receiving and placing calls. We were not suspecting on the phone for a very long time. One out of 20 calls would drop. Either the other person will not be able to hear us or we will not be able to hear the other person.
When we finally decided to return the phone, the return window with Amazon was over and Nokia mentioend that Amazon is not their authorized reseller, hence they cannot replace the phone, but can try to fix the phone for a charge. The Nokia customer service is pathetic. Their repair center seem to be just in the business of getting more money from people that complain of problems. It is like hitting against a wall.
It is our mistake we bought this Nokia when there are better phones are available. Please don't buy this model ever.
How much smart-phone do you really need? Really.Jul 31, 2010
I was ready to do it. Had the credit card cocked and loaded ... my local Apple Store actually had the iPhone 4 in stock and I thought, with the new satisfaction guarantee / return policy, what did I have to lose but $200 and a $15/month UNLIMITED data plan.
The little greeter dude told to me to just hang out by the iPhone table and an expert would eventually come by and take care of all my needs. OK ... half hour later, no expert nor needs met. In that span of time, I'd played with a floor model pretty thoroughly and aside from the razor-sharp display, could think of nothing really that the new-revolutionary-wonder-phone could do that my Nokia 5800 Nav. Ed. couldn't already do that I would actually use. I walked out, knowing my needs were already pretty well met with the little, lighter device in my pocket.
Why spend another $200 if you don't have to?
... It has been five months with the 5800 and today, I guess I realized it's been a really good five months. Value, performance, features. These three words would sum up the Nokia 5800 Nav. Ed. pretty well for me. Now, is it the best smart-phone on the market? Hardly, as far as quality, materials, software and hardware are concerned. But then again, it costs half as much as the new big guns out there and yet, it does most of what they do and does them rather well, I'd say ...

Things I ask of this phone, in order of importance:
1. Be a really, really good phone -- send & receive calls with good sound and reception, and texts, too.
2. Be a good smart-phone and let me check my email, read articles and surf the web while I'm away from a computer.
3. Be extremely portable in my pocket all day or while I'm running. In other words, be low-maintenance.
I asked and received all three with this phone.
***
Big ups:
*The price.
*8GB microSD card included.
*The freedom of unlocked; $15 vs. mandatory $30 unlimited data plan.
*Battery life (usually charge every other day using 2G with 3hr talk/day and regular web-browsing and messaging.
*Ability to set 2G over 3G, which does drain the battery and all that noticeably faster (thanks iPhoners!).
*Responsive resistive touchscreen (think fingernail vs. fingertip).
*Comes with car charger and windshield mount.
*Very good SD video quality in 16x9 format.
*Kinetic scrolling and super-handy contacts bar.
*Side sliding hold switch.
*Two integrated stereo speakers for playing mp3's or steaming audio online.
*Streaming Real Player software.
*FM radio w/ attached ear-phones as antenna.
*Included in-line remote + earbuds.
*Free mail for exchange software, compatible with Gmail, Outlook, plus calendar sync.
*Free Opera 10 from Ovi app store with tab-browsing. Fast!
*Free turn-by-turn GPS, which I don't really care for, personally, in general.
*Great free Google Maps app.
*Really good OS stability/reliability/simplicity (very intuitive after you get used to it).
*Excellent grip when on the ear, even without a case.
*Face sensor turns off the display when held to the ear, saving battery juice.
*Free tethering app that gives me up to 1Mb speed on 3G wifi to my Macbook.
*Full charge in 3 hrs., wut?!
***
I could go on and on and honestly, after five months, the lows are not really worth mentioning as they are mostly nit-picky things. But namely, the display will wash-out a bit in direct sunlight, though the light-sensor will brighten eventually to where it's not a big deal.
Notes on the display:
At first, I thought the resistive touch screen was annoying/inferior to the more prevalent capacitive touchscreens but I learned to appreciate it, especially when browsing full web sites using Opera 10. It requires more care of your finger stokes, thereby making for more precise navigation (iPhone and Droids feel sloppy by comparison). The onscreen Qwerty keyboard is a snap once you get used to it, especially when set with the lowest level vibrate. The iPhone 4's was not as responsive, if you can believe it. It's not the thinnest phone but when gripped lengthwise with two hands, it helps to have the extra girth. It's not the biggest screen either, but the native 16x9 high-res (rare for smartphones) makes perfect sense when viewing Youtube and other video, as there will be mostly no letter-boxing. Very cool.
All-in-all, there is so much value with this phone that it can easily/readily stand up to the big dogs, if you are not willing/able to spend the extra money. Put it this way, it's my reliable, fun 12-yr. old Subaru vs. say, a BMW or a Lexus.
Practicality vs. Status.
Ribeye vs. Filet.
It does what I ask it to do and it does it exceedingly well for half the price of the other shiners.
And oh yeah, front-facing secondary camera for video-calling, check. It's no Facetime but you can get a Fring app for free and do video-calls via Skyppe. Not bad at all.
Hope this helps. Cheers!
