I was just about to buy g900 this week. However,reading the latest info about Nokia 5800 specs (and specially its price) I can no longer decide.
What do you think?

5800 is going to destroy the G900, that much is clear.

Doesnt matter. ITs not like the G900 has a full sized QWERTY keypad. We have enough full touch screen phones to know now that a phone can work without a keypad.

This comparison 5800 vs G900 (GSMArena.com) may help you decide which one to buy.
. . .
I doubt that Nokia intended the 5800 to be a G900 killer 
They probably want to gobble up some iPhone market share. Consider this: of the features missing in the iPhone (video calling, MMS, video recording, A2DP, add-on memory cards, etc.), how many of those are also missing in the 5800?

Well obviously full touch screen phones can work without a keypad, otherwise we wouldn't have them. All i'm saying is that having a touchscreen phone or a keypad phone, or a combo touchscreen/keypad phone for that matter, is a personal preference.

My biggest concern regarding 5800 is its size, I have always used small phones.
I am afraid that the 5800 wont fit my pocket? anyone familiar with such sizes?
Is it easily pocketable? |

I like big screens, but dislike big phones.
I know it is physically impossible to increasing the screen size without increasing the phone size!!!

well...the tube is UI is a POS if you look onto videos of it running...and you have to double tap almost everything for the screen to work...
nevertheless it has much better hardware specs than g900, but no physical keypad - and that is what UIQ has always been about...great touch screen + physical keypad combination

"HUGH" who? Heffner? You forgot to mention the C905 is a fat pig compared to the N82. 
I think the Tube is the better device of the two here. I have the P1 and the UI is so boring and bland. The 5800's UI looks 100x better than the P1's!
My vote goes to the 5800 XpressMusic! |

Although its personal, the UIQ interface needs a major update. Its incredibly old looking(probably because it 'is' old).
And I'm pretty sure nokia will release a hardware keypad version of a touch screen phone too. Lets not make sweeping generalizations from just one phone

Personaly ive never been a big fan of touchscreen only phones BUT the 5800XM certainly makes me want to actualy get one. Lol between the G900 and 5800XM? DEFINETLY 5800XM, the new S60 UIs look amazing, far better than UIQ3!
If you dont mind losing a keypad then go for 5800XM. UIQ has now lost the only advantage it have over S60.
