What makes me laugh is that this device is £235 SIM free! so why are people complaining about the camera? if you want a camera go buy a camera not a phone! My guess is this device will be very cheap on a contract in about three months time BUT there are some very interesting things still to come from Nokia this year and I am NOT talking about the N97! I am sworn to secrecy so I cant say more just wait and watch.....
I have owned the ... T68i T610, P800, P900, P910, P990, W950, P1, W960 But SE have now totally lost the plot.

Nitro any chance you can even give us any idea of either a release date, or a date at which they will be releasing more info about the upcoming news ? I might hold out if its not too far away ( 3 or 4 months ) .

Ok after 2 weeks of usage now the hidden minus:
-Right scrolling is difficult because it's very tight
-screen is dull under direct sunlight
-camera photo is as crappy as an old nokia 2mp in low light
-video recording in low light is ridiculous
-battery doesn't exceed 24 hours
-Bug in video playback :screen goes black. this bug is cleared with a soft reset

After all this device is so nice the first week you use it but one week later the problems begin to appear and now I regret I had not bought an iphone

Some said the camera in the aging N73 is better. Do you think the camera is also worse than in P990i?
P990 camera was already bad. I just wanna have reference of its quality.

In sunny days it renders pretty well for a 3mp camera phone but inside the office for exemple...

The good:

I have tested the screen of the 5800 today at skii,lisibility percentage is how much I could read the colors and brightness of the screen,Usability is how much I could use the phone for sms and calls,Apps/games is how much I could use games and appz:
Sun in front of you: lisibility 60%,usability 80%,appz/games 70%
Sun above you: lisibility 50%,usability 60%,appz/games 50%
Sun behind you(direct sunlight): lisibility 30%,usability 30%,appz/games 10%

Summary: you have been warned! this phone is not usefull if you like to play games or browse the internet in summer while you are at beach nor at ski in winter! whoever you can still read received SMS,write SMS and dial numbers

It shows that a long spec list doesn“t necessarily mean a better phone. Most stuff are there just for marketing reasons and to justify a “new model with a new price“. Implementation, quality and performance are crucial for the actual usefulness of the device.

I would like to know about the tactile feedback on this phone. I've been arguing with my brother about resistive vs capacitive LCD screens on modern mobile phones.

Battery is now better with 2 days of usage instead of 1,but of course it still can't beat the 3-4 days of a SE
Touch as I said is not really a touch screen but a finger nail screen,we are ages away from the iphone's touch!!
New bad point: 3 dusts under the screen already,it's obvious with white backgrounds...
I am waiting desperatly for the SE W995,I am feelling like I am jailed with this 5800,the LG Arena is not better under sunlight and its battery is a catastrophy as I have understand,so I will return to my one and only love...SE!
