Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Review

Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is a modest phone released in October 2008, featuring a 3.2" display, a 3.2 MP back facing camera and a good 434 MHz CPU. Let's take a closer sight of what this phone offers to us.

This cellphone comes with a powerful 434 MHz CPU with only 128 MB of RAM. This phone counts with a little 82,94 MB internal memory, which could be enough for basic users considering that this device also has an external memory slot to store songs, pictures and videos and even some applications that allow being installed in the external memory.

Even though this cellphone has 4.37" long, it only holds a way smaller 3.2 inches display. The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is quite thick compared to today's phones, with its 0.61 inches thickness. Nokia didn't seem to put much effort to reduce weight in this 3.84 ounces cellphone.

This cellphone has a interesting 3.2" display with a 640 x 360 resolution, which makes everything look vivid. This display uses TFT resistive technology, but it can't detect multi touch gestures.

This cellphone features WiFi connectivity (although it can't provide it to other devices as a mobile mobile hotspot) and the fastest 3G data connection, using HSDPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone uses a SIM card for GSM carriers.

This phone has only a 3.2 megapixels back-facing camera. This device can also shoot videos up to 640x480 (VGA) at 30 fps. To complete the camera, it also features auto-focus and flash.

The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic also features a handful of useful characteristics such as Bluetooth (2.0, EDR) and GPS Navigation, and a couple sensors likeProximity Sensor and Accelerometer.

This cellphone uses a 1320 mAh medium sized Li-Ion battery providing this phone with a quite short battery duration. This phone has an aproximate 8.8 hours talk time and a 406 hours stand by time according to Nokia.

The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic costs 219 dollars, a high price for this type of cellphone.
