Nokia 5800 XpressMusic review: Young as you feelNokia 5800 XpressMusic review: Young as you feel

It's touchscreen o'clock for Nokia and the stage is set for the 5800 XpressMusic. Go ahead and touch it. We did and we've got a story to tell.

Now, it's technically not the first time Nokia get their hands dirty with touch screens, but it sure feels they really mean business this time. For Nokia 5800 is not the only story here. The smart platform with the most influential touch receives its first trial by touch. Being the first device running Series 60 5th alone is enough for the 5800 to be remembered by.

It's a first try and proceeding with caution is only fair. Nokia 5800 is unthreateningly and unobtrusively positioned in the mid-range and the XpressMusic branding helps share some of that first-S60-touchscreen weight. Still, it's way more than an affordable music-centered handset. The 5800 has a strong and unmistakable Nokia identity and delivers multimedia prowess. So, let's touch, shall we?

Key features:

• 3.2" 16M-color TFT LCD 16:9 touchscreen display (360 x 640 pixels)
• Symbian S60 5th edition
• ARM 11 369 MHz CPU, 128 MB of SDRAM memory
• 3.2 megapixel autofocus camera with dual-LED flash
• VGA video recording at 30fps
• Dual-band 3G with HSDPA support
• Quad-band GSM support
• Wi-Fi
• Capable GPS receiver and Nokia Maps 2.0 Touch
• microSD card memory expansion, ships with an 8GB card
• TV out
• FM radio with RDS
• Bluetooth and USB v2.0
• 3.5mm standard audio jack
• Excellent audio quality
• Landscape on-screen virtual QWERTY keyboard
• Proximity sensor for screen auto turn-off
• Accelerometer sensor for automatic UI rotation and motion-based gaming
• Rich retail package
• Affordable price
• Office document viewer
• OVI and MySpace integration (direct image and video uploads)

Main disadvantages:

• Limited 3rd party software availability
• UI is still immature with somewhat dodgy user experience
• Touchscreen sensitivity not the best in the class
• No smart dialing
• Poor image quality and no GPS geotagging
• Touch web browser not quite polished
• No voice-guided navigation license
• No office document editing out-of-the-box
• Doesn't charge off microUSB

Now, you're not the only one waiting for Nokia 5800 XpressMusic. A legion of touchscreen phones have been busy delivering more and better, and owning that market. They sure won't be giving Nokia and S60 5th the warmest of welcomes.

At this point, Nokia 5800 may as well be more of a trespasser than a worthy rival. We mean, stealing even the tiniest bit of market off such formidable competition should be a win to savor for every newcomer. And still, we shouldn't be looking at the actual handset alone. Maybe the 5800 isn't make or break for Nokia, but S60 5th should darn well be.

We're looking at the first S60 touchscreen. A lot less hoping for the best than preparing for the worst may sound like the right kind of attitude. Because a first try will be measured by just anything that lives and breathes, and has a touchscreen. So, let's see what Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is up against. Just mind you that it's more than just the names of a few handsets - it's generations of touchscreen development.

Apple may be looking down with amused detachment at yet another iPhone-killer wannabe. We guess Nokia 5800 XpressMusic doesn't want that label but it won't escape it. We are talking the market leader against the touch interface pacesetter. Maybe not this time, but this one is worth keeping an eye on in the long run. At this point though, for the price of an unlocked contract-free iPhone 3G you can easily obtain two Nokia 5800 XpressMusic handsets - sounds a bargain, doesn't it?

Windows Mobile is well into the picture too. Recent HTC models (Diamond, Touch HD) and Samsung i900 Omnia have shown that powerful multimedia is no orphan in the WinMo world. Loads of 3rd party software and cool and nifty UI plug-ins (TouchFLO 3D, TouchWiz) are great assets but the heftier price tag sets them back a bit. The Diamond comes closest to the Nokia, but it's still about 30 euro (40 US dollars) more.

LG and Samsung are also quite versed in the ways of touchscreen. Both makers have sizeable touch portfolios, ranging from affordable, non-smart touchscreens to 8 megapixel multimedia monsters. Samsung do boast a bunch of WinMo touch devices too. What's more, the company is keen enough on Symbian too, so that's potentially another "touching" chapter in the rivalry between the top two market-share leaders.

So, obviously the touchscreen game is no joke - it's getting tougher by the minute out there. Let's now check if the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic has what it takes to play along. We just took a peek in the retail package and - boy, are we impressed. Join us on the next page, where cheers roar as the box breaks open.

Nokia 5730 XpressMusic leaks, QWERTY meets the music familyNokia 5730 XpressMusic leaks, QWERTY meets the music family

Photos of a new member of the music-minded family of Nokia handsets leaked today. The yet unannounced Nokia 5730 XpressMusic comes in the side-slide form factor which seems to be gaining popularity in Nokia's portfolio quite quickly. The specs sheet on the device spells mid-range all over but a QWERTY-enabled XpressMusic handset isn't something we see everyday.

True to its XpressMusic nature, the Nokia 5730 will try to attract its customers with an affordable price tag and distinct youthful design rather than some out-of-this-world functionality. Running on the Symbian S60 UI the handset will use its non-touch-enabled 3rd edition rather than the latest reincarnation we saw on the 5800 XpressMusic.

In addition to the four row slide-out full QWERTY keyboard the Nokia 5730 XpressMusic will feature a 2" 16M color QVGA display, built-in GPS receiver, Bluetooth and USB connectivity. Some of the other extras include FM radio, a 3.2 Megapixel snapper with Carl Zeiss lens and 3G with video-call support.

Nokia 5730 XpressMusic

The Nokia 5730 XpressMusic will have 128 MB of RAM and up to 140 MB of internal storage memory but there is yet no information of its CPU. There will also be an 8GB memory card included in the retail package.

According to Mobile-review.com, who actually got the phone for a preview, Nokia 5730 XpressMusic is expected to hit the shelves in April with an estimated retail price of 220 euro.

Nokia E63 review: E for Economy

Nokia E63 is the next QWERTY messenger by Nokia, set on the glorious path of the E71. Only this time it slips off the high heels to walk it in plain straight and simple boots instead. And the matching price tag leaves little doubt of what this Working Joe here is all about.

No fancy spoils, the Nokia E63 means business and brings connectivity and messaging together in a sharp and reliable package. Certainly a no-thrills mobile, the E63 does its jobs with no fuss and at a fair wage. Well, who would frown at that?

Now, comparisons to E71 are clearly inevitable and maybe we know better than expect Nokia E63 to impress us as much. But who says it can't persuade through common sense.

Key features:

• Quad-band GSM support
• 3G support
• Landscape 2.36" 16M-color display of QVGA resolution
• Symbian 9.2 OS, S60 UI with FP1 (sprinkled with some FP2)
• 369 MHz ARM 11 CPU and 128 MB of SDRAM
• Wi-Fi
• 2 megapixel fixed focus camera with LED flash
• 120 MB of internal memory, microSD expansion
• Standard 3.5mm audio jack
• Bluetooth v2.0 with A2DP support
• microUSB v2.0
• FM radio
• Comfortable full QWERTY keypad
• Convenient shortcut keys
• Provider-independent VoIP support
• Office document editor
• Nokia Maps
• User-friendly Mode Switch for swapping two homescreen setups
• Great battery life
• Remote Lock and Wipe feature
• One-year free subscription for Files on Ovi

Main disadvantages:

• Poor camera performance
• Video recording maxes out at QVGA@15fps
• No GPS
• No RDS in the FM radio
• 3.5mm jack protective bud is not attached to the body
• No USB cable in the retail package
• No preinstalled games at all

Nokia E63 is undoubtedly a trimmed-down version of the E71 and almost a return to the E61i roots - with a 2 megapixel camera and no built-in GPS receiver. Well, the camera of the E71 was largely disappointing in the first place plus, an external Bluetooth GPS receiver is always an option, so we hardly count these as serious drawbacks.

Nokia E63 at ours

The styling of the E63 is where the difference is most significant. Nokia E63 still looks OK and feels sturdy, but it sure lacks the solid metal charm of the E71. Anyway, the mild price tag may as well make you forgive the cost-effective approach to the exterior.

The potential market rivals of the E63 aren't that many but there are still a few affordable QWERTY smartphones out there.

Sony Ericsson W715 and C510 preview: First look

Sony Ericsson announced several new phones yesterday and we managed to snatch the Sony Ericsson C510 Cyber-shot and Sony Ericsson W715 Walkman for quick and dirty hands-on session. Now those two are certainly not final retail versions, so we won't be putting them through our full reviewing routine. Just remember - this is a short preview, not a full-blown review article.

The Sony Ericsson W715 Walkman is a Wi-Fi/GPS-enabled slider made exclusively for Vodafone. It's is practically identical to the Sony Ericsson G705 that we already reviewed.

Sony Ericsson W715 Walkman

Wi-Fi (with DLNA), GPS receiver, a 3 megapixel snapper with geotagging and an accelerometer that allows for auto screen rotation and motion gaming are its main selling points.

Additionally, the W715 is loaded with Walkman goodies such as the latest Walkman music player, TrackID, SenseMe and Shake control.

The Sony Ericsson W715 has quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support plus dual-band UMTS/HSPA 9100/1200 connectivity and will be available in Galactic Black and Luxury Silver color combos. For our preview we received the Luxury Silver one.

The Sony Ericsson C510 Cyber-shot has a 2.2-inch QVGA scratch-resistant display, quad-band GSM support plus tri-band UMTS/HSPA connectivity. On board there's an accelerometer for auto screen rotation and motion gaming plus an M2 memory card slot and stereo Bluetooth.

Sony Ericsson C510 Cyber-shot

Meant as an affordable cameraphone, the Sony Ericsson C510 has a 3 megapixel auto focus camera with Face detection and Smile shutter. There's no xenon flash as you might have guessed it (only a LED one) and you can get geotagging but only by cell triangulation, as there's no actual GPS receiver in there.

The Sony Ericsson C510 Cyber-shot will be available Q1 2009 in Future Black and Radiation Silver. We got the Radiation Silver variety for our article.

Nokia N85 review: Nseries revved u

N85 is the latest Nseries signing and a bulletproof spec sheet sets it right in the thick of all-in-one action. Full-house connectivity and multimedia prowess topped with a massive OLED screen to die for, Nokia N85 gives the lineup a great edge and comes out as the definitive brand-loyal upgrade. No, it will never rule the Nseries but sure has what it takes to make them tick. With the echo of the not so glorious N96 entry still lingering, we are about to see what Nokia N85 can do for the Nseries morale.

Nokia N85

Key features:

• 2.6" 16M-color OLED display of QVGA resolution
• 5 megapixel autofocus camera with dual-LED flash and AF assist light
• Camera lens cover
• Symbian OS 9.3 with S60 3.2 UI
• ARM 11 369 MHz CPU
• 3G with HSDPA support
• Quad-band GSM support
• Wi-Fi with UPnP technology
• Built-in GPS with A-GPS functionality and 3 months of free voice-guided navigation
• FM transmitter
• Dual slide design with dedicated gaming/audio keys
• microSD card slot with microSDHC support
• 8GB memory card included in the retail package
• Built-in accelerometer for UI auto-rotation
• 3.5 mm audio jack
• TV out
• Stereo FM Radio with RDS
• Navi wheel navigation
• VGA video recording at 30fps
• USB and Bluetooth v2.0
• One free N-gage game
• Keylock switch

Main disadvantages:

• No office document editing out of the box
• Not the best sunlight legibility
• Unconvincing camera performance
• Poor Navi wheel performance
• Zooming in on a picture takes bloody ages

With N85 the free slots between N70 and N96 seem to be quickly running up. But that will be a minor issue for Nokia - the much bigger challenge after N85 will be finding some new tricks to upgrade the lineup with.

We've been over and over the Nokia N85 spec sheet and we can hardly find something the phone lacks. The stunning 2.6" OLED screen is of course the first thing to note and, what's more, it brings us directly to pretty much the closest competitor N85 will be dealing with. But more on competition a little later.

Nokia N85

All-in-one Symbian devices with a high stake on imaging (5MP and above) are not so many. That, and the N-gage flavor, more or less set the N85 against its own. One thing we need to give Nokia N85 is that on paper it delivers nearly the same as the Nseries top dog, and beats it on looks. The pricing seems less extreme this time, so we may as well call it a nice start.

HTC Touch HD preview: First look

The HTC Touch HD may be the biggest, meanest thing that has happened to Windows Mobile for quite some time now. It's got an unforgiving spec sheet that can easily put to shame most high-end devices out there. A massive 3.8-inch touchscreen with a WVGA resolution is combined with a sleek form factor of only 12mm thickness. Add a 5 megapixel camera, GPS, and Wi-Fi and a powerful CPU and you've got yourself a spanking WinMo killer machine.

It just happened that we laid our hands on a HTC Touch HD unit and of course we decided to give you a quick impromptu preview. It's not as detailed as we would generally like, but hey, it's better than nothing, right? We had a really brief HD encounter but you can bet we'll offer you more as soon as we get more of it.

HTC Touch HD official photos

While rumors of a future Touch HD Pro equipped with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard are rolling out, the HTC Touch HD is actually getting ready to roll out in stores with pre-order prices ranging from 600 euro (800 US dollars) to an arm and a leg, but that's understandable.

HTC Touch HD at a glance:

Live photos of HTC Touch HD

Comparison of the HTC Touch HD with the iPhone is unavoidable. Although the Touch HD outruns the iPhone 3G specs by far, the Apple iPhone is still the most hyped full touch device.

Although Windows Mobile 6.1 is pretty much lagging behind in terms of usability (when compared to all other recent all touch phones), HTC have taken care to improve things a bit with their TouchFLO 3D (well known from the HTC Touch Diamond).

We are far from considering that Windows Mobile (TouchFLO or not) will ever be capable to match the fluid iPhone interface, but still a physical comparison is interesting. In fact the most intriguing thing about the HTC Touch HD is the relatively compact size for feature-packed load that's on board. The HTC Touch HD is no bigger then the Apple iPhone 3G.

The HTC Touch HD next to the Apple iPhone 3G

The HTC Touch HD is surely an exciting device. Join us to the next page where we explore the design and construction of what seems to be the next uber phone.
