Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Mobile Phone

[JamesMK]

An official announcement first smartphone from Nokia based on the S60 platform with a touch screen. The main task before me is describe the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, not only from the standpoint of analyzing the market situation and unusual situation smartphone in relation to other decisions, which are present in the market, but in terms of the average user. This is much more valuable. In short, we can say only one: Nokia 5800 - not a panacea for all ills, not the killer of all other vehicles, not that any other in this way.

The phone itself is nicely built, feeling sturdy in the hand and the entire screen is easily reached. However, it's a little bit thick, and might cause the standard mobile bulge in the pocket if that's your method of carrying it around.

The development of sensory platform version was launched very, very long time, she had come to replace the platform S90, which are based on the Nokia 7700 and 7710 continued. Given the lack of big market, as well as the specificity of the devices since 7700 and has remained a test model for operators and did not go in retail sales does, but 7710 was sold in very small quantities, has claimed only in a narrow range of enthusiasts, who turned a blind eye to all the disadvantages of Staff.

Nokia 5800 Xpressmusic appears at a time when the market for smart phones with touch screens becomes saturated. But he is very rich in most of its masthead, expensive machines type Apple iPhone 3G (we are not talking about subsidies operators without iPhone roads), Samsung i900 Omnia / WiTu, several high-tech phones come autumn / winter (LG KC910, Samsung PIXON M8800) . That is why the company is positioning 5800 as a massive, relatively inexpensive solutions to the widest possible audience. Or is trying to position. Yes, the device will be cheaper than most competitors with touch typing.

The design

Design Nokia 5800 is easy to describe. Monoblock without any design seek symmetrical shape, a minimum of controls, the bulk of the surface is the big screen, and the distance to the edges of the shell is very small. In fact, the screen and determine the dimensions of the phone, its appearance. Screen size - 38h70 mm (diagonal - 3.2 inches), he was gaunt, has a 16:9 aspect ratio. The display looks like the best of all, this ratio has resulted in a small width of the device. It is too much width becomes a negative factor for many vehicles, the same iPhone markedly greater good is at hand. The screen is not recessed into the body, which is meant primarily paltsevoe administration, however, and a stylus, which is hidden in the hull. At the edges Kant corps passes, which is above the hull for a couple of millimeters, it protects the screen from contact with the surface. Above the screen is touch a button multimedia menu, which consists of five points. Key is located conveniently, accidental clicks No, but the menu is achievable in just one touch.

Rounded corners, glossy black plastic front panel reminded solutions Nseries, design echoes much. The front panel mark, although these are all devices with large touch screen. The back panel has a coated soft-touch, and early samples from the present pattern of thin lines, as in many multimedia smartphone last generation. In commercial vehicles the figure would not, it decided to give our smartphone shows the final design. The absence of metallic elements characteristic of multimedia devices from Nokia, for the same 5800 refers to the middle class. But the application of plastic is good quality, it has no claims. Much better than expensive N96.

On the left are two slots, cover plugs. One - under the memory card, the second card SIM. But that does not mean that the SIM-card can be changed on the fly, this device does not support. In order to pull it, the battery will need to lift and push through a special hole card. You can use the stylus, any sensitive subject. In the same end of two dynamics are located. The holes are very small, setochki that they cover, also slightly visible. Meanwhile surprising that these dynamics - one of the most powerful and high-quality, they are clearly benefiting from the Nokia N82, for example. On the opposite side - the volume keys and camera button and the slider lock.

It is a large, ribbed, there is an excellent finger, you can not manage watching. For convenience it better regular key lock, both in sensory phones, Samsung or LG. At the top end of Nokia is the standard set of elements: the connector to plug microUSB, turn off the key and 3.5 mm jack under the headset. Location 3.5 mm Jack maximum comfort, does not cause any inconvenience.

Cover battery compartment fastened securely, there is no backlash. The reverse its surface is a scheme extract SIM-cards. Thanks to cover the soft-touch apparatus pleasure to hold in your hand, he did not slide, from this perspective that 5800 is preferable to all other comparable solutions. At the same iPhone 3G rear glossy, fast absorbed scratches and pollution. Stylus attached to the lid, it is big enough convenient. Built-in camera lens is not protected, but easy to wipe the glass, it is not recessed into the body. Next is a dual LED flash.

Overall, Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is almost perfect. Minimum size with a screen size, small width, nice materials corps - this is not the case that is not the most expensive model. Thickness there, but it is not as great compared with many sensory smartphones and phones, except, perhaps, iPhone and the HTC Touch Diamond. There is no charge image, not metal, but their position is fully consistent with the model. But the issue price, we will come back again later.

Screen

A large screen, 3.2-inch (38h70 mm), gaunt, has a 16:9 aspect ratio. High resolution (640h360 points, QHD) picture looks excellent, nice to see the use of such a screen in the middle-class smartphone. Display 5800 did not produce WOW-effect when placed on the menu in standby mode. The dark background, simple icons ... But try to download colorful pictures, and all will be at their seats. The density of points, if not maximum, it is close to that.

Picture a smooth, Pixelise not at all. Comparing 5800 with the Nokia N96 is clearly evident last loss, and significant. These screens are the company will use next year in most of its sensory smartphone, higher resolution today is not very relevant. How, though, and sizes. On the screen, larger than 3.2 inches, the device will not be miniature, namely, this option goes for Nokia at the forefront. The trend evident in the case of previous and current generation QWERTY-smartphones Eseries, many image models.

There is a light sensor that adjusts the backlight intensity of the screen, as well as a new sensor for Nokia approximation. When approaching a person during a call, the screen is blocked, a description of the possible standard and is used in many sensory decisions.



The battery

Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is completed with a new battery type BL-5J (capacity 1320 mA * h), but if we remember the impressive results that Nokia has achieved in its smartphone even Feature Pack 2, the face of short stand-alone work clearly is not. The practice is only confirms 5800 practically does not differ from the current leader of N85, as well as the most long-Smartphone with a touch screen of this size. Power consumption has been optimized once again in some regimes, and this video, MP3, navigation. When the player smartphone can lasted about 33 hours, a record figure so far.

Nokia 5800 Smartphone became the first outside Nseries and Eseries, which has built module Wi-Fi. There are WLAN Wizard, a simple assistant for setting up the connection. Options quite little, if any network is proposed to establish a connection, define the default access point, there is a filtering networks. Safety standards - WEP, WPA, WPA 2. Also in the settings specified time scanning networks WLAN. There annex Home Media, allows you to work with other devices on technology UnPNP, which has a very broad functionality.

Present support for the regime Mass Storage, you can choose to use a machine - the floppy disk drive, PC Suite, Image Print, Media Player. As a removable disk can be seen as a memory card, and built a flash-memory. When you connect the charging cable does not happen, unlike the N85.

Hardware platform

Hardware platform Nokia 5800 is not different from that used in the N85 and other models of Nokia, there is nothing special. There is no difference of N85, E66 and others. Big screen does not affect the performance of 5800, apparatus very quickly.

The model is running the latest version of the operating system Symbian, is 9.4, S60 fifth edition. On the features of software platforms, we talk in a separate paragraph. Available RAM after booting the system is about 80 MB with a total memory of 128 MB. Exactly the same rates we see in the Nokia N85, N96, this volume lacking in most situations. Memory devoted to launch applications (Heap size) and the size of the Java-applications (Jar size) are unlimited.
