  • I have decided to take a leak from startup related blogging and review a few gadgets that I bought in the recent past (and some services I used in last few months). Enjoy the posts.

    The first one is a review of the Nokia 5800 xpress music phone that I got in August. I had an imate (windows mobile) phone before and though it had some good features it had a very rough interface and wasn’t very usable. Also I was not very happy with the build quality and spent a jot of time gluing the parts together every time it fell down.  Apart from decent build quality this time I wanted to buy a phone which had the following features

    Wi-fi Email and a decent web browser (atleast usable enough to login to some web consoles and perform admin tasks for Muziboo in case of an emergency)A usable music player with decent headphones  (I generally look for good bass)

    I wanted to upgrade to an iphone but found it to be damn expensive (in India and US). I then ran into some reviews of 5800 and decided to buy it as it offered great features for its price. Since there are a lot of detailed spec reviews of 5800 on the net I will just post what I personally liked and disliked after using the phone for a couple of months


    The Good

    Wi-fi is very easy to setup and works great. You can easily select if you want to connect to Wi-Fi/ GPRS everytime an applications wants to access internet. The web browser is also pretty usable and supports javascript (and more importantly flash)Comes with a 8 GB memory card (upto 16 GB supported)  so you can load hundreds of songs on it. It has a pretty decent music player and the video playback is great too. The bundled headphones are good quality and it supports a standard 3.5mm phone jack so you can use better desktop headphones too. The headphones come with controls for next/previous/stop/play/pause and volume so its very easy to change tracks while you are on a treadmill. It also comes with lots of preloaded music (both Hindi and English).There are some pretty useful apps available for symbian (such as putty)There is a 3.0 megapixel camera that takes decent pics. Not as great as a cybershot phone camera but good enough to capture memories. You can see a pic I took hereIt has a pretty big screen (bigger than iphone screen)Comes with maps and GPS (3 months flee trial)Its currently priced at 13.5k so its pretty cheap (I got it for around 16.5k). strongly recommend checking out offersforshoppers.com for 5800’s coupons

    The Bad

    Does not charge through a USB cable. You need to carry the stupid Nokia charger. I find this pretty irritatingThe touchpad is not as good as that of an iPhone (However its still pretty us166able)There are not as many apps available for 5800. iPhone clearly is a winner here

    Overall I find the phone good value for money. Let me know if you have any questions.
