How is the 5800 "disappointing"? Everyone loves the iPhone. Nokia bested that toy in every aspect, added unlimited music downloads for an extra $100, a better camera (even though a midgrade offer by Nokia's great standards...) than anything Blackberry, HTC, or Apple can offer, along with the loudest speakers on any music phone ever. Why are expectations so low for Apple, yet when someone comes along and tops them, they get zero credit. Come on, now.
THIS THING BEATS THE PANTS OFF AN IPHONE! Read the specs, recognize the power of Symbian OS, bow down, and kiss the pinky ring. Lol!
...But seriously, guys. What's so disappointing? Had it lacked MMS, video capture, multitasking, better multiformat media support, haptics, bluetooth file exchange, modem tethering, alternative third party options to default software features, true TV-out, or support for large resolution image files, I'd consider that much more disappointing, but that's just me.
It's because of the screen...I do not want to "double-click" to get to everything!! And none of that fancy multi-touch either
And....It's not that thin...for just an all screen phone, its probably one of the thickest.
That is my reasoning....no i am not a nokia hater, I personally own a N82 myself, and people are amazed at how "thick" it is...obviously thin form factor is the only way to go.
