Nokia 5800 Xpress Music, the god of Advanced Music Tweet

Nokia 5800 to be the first to use touch screen for menu operation. Compared to competitors, the screen size of the Nokia 5800 really was a very wide-area. But the design of a glass surface and the removal of the keypad makes the screen feel very, very relieved.

Speaking of relief, which remained below the screen is only 3 buttons: Call button, Menu, and End call. To turn-off the phone, Nokia gives its own key; located on the body, the right end. The touch screen of course prone to accidentally touch the run menu. But Nokia is preparing the solution, ie the right slot in the lock body.

Nokia 5800 was not free from diseases that plague touch screen devices anywhere: trace the hand, especially on the screen. But the dark color is usually managed to disguise the problem. Maybe that's why Nokia prepares 3 color options: Silver-black, red and blue. Or a similar motif fingerprints on the back of the fabric casing was polished.

Typically, touch screen paired with a stylus as input devices. Nokia 5800 too. Stylus can be pulled out from under the right elbow body, slightly behind. The funny thing is, if the rear casing opened, this stylus was attached to the casing.

But there are interesting in the Nokia 5800, which plektrum use as input devices. Guitarist certainly familiar with it because it looked like a pick that was used to pluck a guitar string. Plektrum the laces so they can hang the phone.

New menu and Motion Sensor
Nokia 5800 uses the latest Symbian, namely S60, 5th edition. No wonder, home screen until the menu structure was changed. Almost all the icon on the home screen is a shortcut to open the menu further. For example, clicking on the icon will open the settings-hour clock settings.

What is interesting to note is the Contacts Bar. In this bar you can enter the 4 most frequent contacts contacted. This menu can display the call and SMS records to update the blog the contact.

Or Media Bar; "ribbon" menu that appears on the right side of the screen when pressed "touch button" at the bottom of the camera. "Ribbon" This contains a shortcut icon to the 5 entertainment applications; Music library, Gallery, Share online, Video center, and Bookmarks.

One more interesting is the existence of a motion sensor. When we change the position of holding the phone from portrait to landscape, the display will automatically change to follow. This function is most fun when playing games enjoyed Bounce or car racing Global Race Raging Thunder.

Music and Music
As a music phone, music player certainly must be present. Setting provided include Shuffle Play, Repeat, Equalizer, Balance, Bass Booster and Stereo widening.

Besides music player, there is also no radio. Radio, as always, require that the headset is connected. But because the demo unit we received was not accompanied by a headset, we could not talk more about this facility.

Ease of getting on track supported by the Podcasting and Music store. For Indonesia, the Nokia to work with Music for the provision of about 1000 songs in the Music store. As of this writing, users of the Nokia 5800 is mentioned can download these songs as much as 5800 an opportunity every day directly from the phone.

The resulting sound power of the speakers would have to be taken into account. And the Nokia 5800 does not disappoint. External speakers and making a clear voice, and quite fast.

External speaker hole that we found on the left of the body, stuck in the gap, at the top and bottom; similar concept 2.0 speaker system. Controller voice, the volume 2-way, right there in the body.

Who prefer using a headset, live plug it into the 3.5mm jack on the body; located between the port data cable and charger port.

Data port easily recognizable from the cap marked USB. This type is similar to a USB port micro. Note, Nokia tried to separate port for various purposes. Charging the battery using the port itself is located right next to the On-Off button.

Camera
3.2 MP camera principal Carl Zeiss Tessar made behind the body, accompanied by the flash. The camera button on the right body. Second VGA camera on the top right corner of the screen; used primarily for video calls.

We can be snapped photos with a maximum dpi 3M that allows us to print up to 25x20 cm in size. While the video can be recorded with the maximum TV Video Quality high quality; that means can be playback on TV, PC or handset.

Oh yes, the Nokia 5800 features TV-out functionality. So, we can "move" the contents of the phone screen to the TV screen. There is an option TV screen size, TV system, and Flicker filters.

Miraculously SIM Card Slot
Let's riddle: where the SIM Card slot? One great if you answer "behind the batteries". The correct answer is on the left body, the top. But no need to Tengsin, because we also feel when dikerjai not find a SIM card slot after removing the batteries. We actually had thought the two bars are attached at the top left of the body as a button. And that actually cover the SIM card slot and microSD slot.

Although no hidden slot in the body, does not mean we go around mutually SIM card. To put it simple: just open the slot, then plug the SIM card of his. But to remove it, we still have to turn off the phone and remove the batteries. Then, use the stylus, push the SIM card out through the holes in the body. Instructions are installed behind the rear casing.

Oh yes, the hole for the boost off the back casing located under the body.

OTHERWISE ...
Although rumored to be out with a range of $600, this phone still has decent music fans.
