My P1i with the 5800:

Similar girth. Don't fancy the 5800's stylus much, but I'm just nit-picking:



Yet another Nokia exec showing what the 5800 is capable of:



Dialing:



Check the amount of text input options :

Li'l qwerty:



BIG qwerty:

Handwriting recognition (in the red area, please sir):

Thanks, boet.

Only 3rd party stands had UIQ3 handsets eg. G900, etc, I honestly didn't see ANY phones at the stand itself! WTF?! Just literature, some on-screen info and demos, a few brochures, freebies etc and technical support/UIQ3 developers present...

Last year there was both UIQ3 and stands showing off smartphones there.

WOAH! Im jealous! how was the N85?
Ye that 5800xm is a beaut! But i realy like the N85!
Hobbs
Thanx bro, good luck with all that work!
Ye the N96 seems to be not living up to its hype, but i think some of those reviewers are exagarrating (excuse the spelling) it cant be that bad especialy if you're not coming from a N95 and maybe upgrading from a N73, or N81 or something.
Gola
Hehe. . . in my wildest dreams!!
Kyle
Same bro, such a sweet show, funny how the two gay guys are the demons, im sure that pisses xclusve off hehehe. . .

@ Gucci:
I'll upload some N85 pics tomorrow. : Nice S60 handset, but it just seems like some middle ground between a N96 and N81 to me; it didn't 'wow' me like the other new S60 handset that I'm openly biased towards...

Some Symbian developers' stands:






More pics n' stuff laterz...

Thanx Wanqa! The fact that N85 has the N81 design with N95 specs plus a FM Transmitter makes me want it more, one thing ive always realy liked bout my N81 is its design i still cant get over it. not that im getting a new phone but if there is one phone i'd realy like to get its a N85 with a 16GB Mem card, then i'd be set til 2010 when i upgrade lol.

@ Gucci:
Ya I do like the look of the N81 as well, even that bevelled edge on it gives it a more unique appearance amongst the growing crop of sliders.






Wanqa zooms in on his face and checks what the new cam imaging software can do:
