the craze guys...is the touch tech. every brand wants to make the most bucks out of it. Take away the touch interface, then what have we got here??? would you pay 19K for just the touch and the 8GB card? I got 4gb sandisk at 500!

Well, Really a gud phone to use with new features. Nice display and big screen makes it really KOOL.
But still I feel that the price is slightly on the higher side.
Himanshu @ Jan 12, 2009
it's nice one.
sachin srivastava @ Jan 12, 2009
goodd Model....but expensive w.r.t its features.
Nimish Tendulkar @ Jan 12, 2009
this mobile phone cost is too much
r.thulasibabu @ Jan 12, 2009
its very nice&good phone.
vishal singh @ Jan 12, 2009
IT IS VERY NICE PHONE. I LIKE IT
DEEPAK KATKADE @ Jan 12, 2009
I checked this phone holding in my hand. The practical difficulty is, it is slipping from fingures due to angular sides. It is very risky if you are handling this phone in hurry.
Screen is fading if held in sunlight.
REST IS BEST.
DEVLE DAYANAND @ Jan 12, 2009
It's too bulky
jeevan @ Jan 12, 2009
palm pre is the answer i've waiting for
dpk @ Jan 12, 2009
Nokia 5800 is really good not than the N95 bcos after invest 19990 we can't get 5mp camra and glamourous set . So it's good but not better.
Himanshu @ Jan 11, 2009
LG Cookie too isnt a good phone to use. LG phone fails when compared with apple iphone. Nokia 5800 touch screen has many issues. This is what was said to me by a nokia dealer.
Pintu @ Jan 11, 2009
This phone is ok but not up to the mark. Nokia tried to copy Apple iphone but failed to do so. Sorry to say LG Cookie and samsung new phone are much more better then Nokia 5800.
aman @ Jan 10, 2009
please let me know if i should wait for N97 2 come in market or nbuy this one , spening few extra thousand for N97 doesnt make much difference if thats better . I am looking fwd. for someone knowledgeable to reply to me on this post , please post the reply on this forum so people can debate .

Cool Cell !!!! Just want hold in my palm and say thank you NOKIA.
Tejinder Singh Segue @ Jan 10, 2009
it was launched on 5th
psk @ Jan 10, 2009
This phone is more mass market compared to ihone and so the low price... Thherefore u will not be able to get a slick interface like the iphones....i used a prototype of this model for a month send by nokia and found a tremendoous amount of hardware and software bugs,,,,,specially with the screen....the price of this mobile will crash next month as much as the htc touch did. it'll crash because the n97 is launchin and i am going to be reciecing a prototype of the model and am pretty sure it will be much smoother than 5800... the n97 will mostly be priced at 38.5K on launch and after a month will fall to 28.5k...

however the camera is the best i have seen on a touch screen phone in that range and its got the loudest speakerss i hac=ve ever seen!!!!!!
prithveeraj whabi @ Jan 10, 2009
There is no red eye correction in the above pic!!!!(click on it and c yourself!!!)
Prateek @ Jan 10, 2009
Th product is amazing.But you have not quoted the price
Thanks
Prashant D. @ Jan 10, 2009
is it a multi touch phone is iphone 3g or single touch like many others ?????
sushil @ Jan 09, 2009
wait for 2-3 months
becz aft any mobile releases there r many problem with hardware or software?
so wait till it get solved
and price will also b reduced
dhaval @ Jan 09, 2009
i just used the phone for 2 days but i really mark the phone nokia worst phone. U cant see the display in sun light. Its not that phone is touch screen with lot of features but the phone is made to use when u need u cant use the phone in sun light.
i would really say its the worst phone of nokia
Vikash Bansal @ Jan 09, 2009
The Pricing is right considering its got a 8 gb card, touch screen, 3.2 mg pxel camera, wi fi full screen

Nice Phone will be a MASS HIT
Keyur Kapadia @ Jan 09, 2009

Imran khan @ Jan 09, 2009
guys wait for N97!!!!!
pawan @ Jan 09, 2009
Good Piece. I strongly feel that 15k should be a good value for this. Can a comparison made between this and other i-phones.
srini @ Jan 09, 2009
best phone under 20K...worth it!
Zohaib @ Jan 09, 2009
i m looking forward 2 buy this myself(it would be my 2nd touch screen phone)...i have heard a lot abt it....still i want to no how the indian users find it....then after the price collapses i'll buy it
Prashant Hattikudur @ Jan 09, 2009
was waiting for such a combination price around 14k will be affordable for most; must buy for me on valentine day.
mir sajad @ Jan 09, 2009
Pricing is bit high
17k-18k would be a ideal price for this features
I am also dissapointed about the cam, i mean its only 3MP.
Vinay @ Jan 09, 2009
Where is your so called in depth review... other sites have already done it. Don't claim to do something and forget about it.
Maximus @ Jan 09, 2009
priyanka chopra.....what a sellout, she ranks right up there with the MEGA SUPERSELLOUT KING SRK.....bunch of low-lifes
twist3d @ Jan 09, 2009
nice feature rich handset......the pricing is also gud.
but i'll wait for a review still......
abhishek @ Jan 09, 2009
Hi Rajendra just see the features provided in 20K
* 3.2 inch TFT Touchscreen - 360 x 640, 16m colors
* Accelerometer and Proximity sensor
* 81MB internal memory and 8GB microSD included with package
* GPRS/EDGE, 3G with HSDPA, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth with A2DP and micro USB 2.0
* 3MP AF camera with Carl Zeiss Optics
* GPS with A-GPS support
* Media player for audio and video
* 3.5mm earphones/TV out

I think Price is perfect but you can wait for couple of months to reduce further, however still lot to be consider like new touch interface from nokia and other functionality.
hp @ Jan 09, 2009
Looking forward to own it
Enigmatic-Zorro @ Jan 09, 2009
