Good Points

Fairly decent battery life even when browsing web (as long as you don't use wlan), big clear screen, camera is reasonable if not great - this is a music phone after all - and has good video recording, symbian S60v5 o/s very stable and available apps are growing all the time. supplied with very practical cover/pouch which has rigid front and back to protect the screen and elasticated sides making it easy to slide in and out. Overall a very nice phone for people who want a touchscreen with a little of everything.

Bad Points

As above the wlan drains the battery really quickly. more annoying than bad but no smilies that i can find and a little fiddly using virtual keyboard - i've got big fingers so have to use the stylus for typing. No flight mode. Instructions could be better as does not cover all supplied apps.

Good Points

The amount of storage is brilliant. The media playback is really simple, and very good quality. The camera is very good and the applications to improve the pictures while still on the device are fun and easy to use. I especially like the clip art function. The built in stylus is handy as sometimes just using the screen is a bit fiddly, I also like the plectrum, it attatches easily to the exterior of the case and is easy to use, not to mention good looking!

Bad Points

The battery life is not that long if you want to use it as a multimedia phone, ie. watdhing media files and listening to music. I use this phone to keep my daughter amused as well as myself, so using it as a substitute for a portable t.v was one of the reasons I chose the Nokia 5800. It does last a while, but an extended battery life would be greatly appreciated.
