Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Pics
By Rico, 7:07 am Wed Jan 7 2009 - Rundowns - 20 Opinions
Nokia was finally kind enough to lend me a Nokia 5800 for some significant hands-on testing. You’ve already seen the phone in action, but this time around, I had enough time to snap the phone in greater detail. Continue to see Nokia’s first touch-driven gadget up close.

I got the confirmation email today from nokia-ph. I’ll claim my pre-ordered N5800 XM on Saturday for Php19,990. I’m glad I waited, it’s much cheaper than those selling on some multiply gadget stores *sheesh*

Glenn: Me too! But I still like the QWERTY of the E63 better, haha!
bren: Thanks for the info! Nokia also texted me, confirming the price at P19,990. So will you buy?

@bren – yay! I think it’s still cheaper on eBay Philippines
janjanman is selling it for 18.5k, other sellers are selling it for 17k 
and it’s brand new with warranty!
Oh well, Nokia is giving a Sennheiser HD-205 headset tomorrow for the first 58 buyers, so it’s definitely cheaper if you take the sum
Dapat pupunta din me bukas eh, kaso nag bago na isip ko waaaaaaaa!

I got mine yesterday from Bonifacio High Street. So many people in the morning, and I was already 200++ in the line so I just went back later that day.
Question lang to those who bought also, can you please check if your 5800 front cover is not snug also? I mean, when you check the right upper corner (the side near the shortcut menu), does it fit well? Last night when everything was dark, I noticed that I can see light from that side. I tried pushing down the cover but it still not snug.
I went back to Nokia, but they said it really is like that. (?) I’m not quite happy about it, I think it could be a welcome entry point for dust to get inside. Argh.
In general though, I’m satisfied with the 5800. Worth the wait.

Hello again. I was also @Nokia Store – Bonifacio High Street last Sat. I got there at 10:30am and I was #158. So yes, I got my unit and the free ticket. The unit? Uber cool! Rico made a good review, indeed. The ticket? Maybe I’ll use it but then, maybe not.
side story: I got to talk to the guy who’s #3, he was there the night before! nice. heh.
anyway, to those who got the unit, which do you prefer: the stylus or the plectrum?
i go for the plectrum.

sdnm: Hmmm… I checked out the upper right portion of the review unit, and light does creep out in that area. But the front cover seemed pretty snug to me. Can you upload a picture of how your front cover looks?
bren: The plectrum. No need to pull it out, but still provides accurate touching. Note: don’t throw away your stylus, since it’s used to pushing your SIM card out!

Rico: I won’t. And Nokia was thoughtful enough to include an extra stylus in the box. The plectrum strap acts as a wrist strap as well.
