- Wow, you’re the first commenter who has both of the phones. Perhaps you could FINALLY tell us which one is better when it comes to usage.
- Thanks for writing a big comment. I don’t delete comments(you should’ve contacted me if your comment did not appear),
Do you know more about me than me myself?! LMAO!(The geek thing). My bad I called them a cell-phone. I’m still laughing on the PDF point. The diploma acknowledgment was not to show that I’m an expert, instead to show that I’m not ignorant on the subject of hardwares. I never felt proud(
), and taking me down a notch?
Thank you, come again (Like Apu in simpsons says)

Haha, I’m looking forward to the day when Nokia would start hiring people for this work!
- First off, I don’t take comments emotionally. After all, everyone has a freedom of thought and speech. I don’t respond to 80% of the comments on the blog but I thought this one needed one. I have enough to say to fill up a PDF file, but I’ll just summarize it: These are those features that people care about. There are more than 22 Comments before yours and I didn’t find anyone mention ‘hardware’ in specific. 376 MHZ is not less, we wont be sending a million applications using a cell phone. At the end of the day, it still is a cell phone.
Although I appreciate your hardware knowledge, but I have a 3 months diploma in that field and hence I am familiar to things as big as the ram, to as many as the computer’s registers in internal components. Don’t mind this but I’m not a geek, check my picture in the about page and then let me know if I look or sound like one. I’m cooler than the other side of your pilow, so don’t worry!
- Well I take value of your criticism but unfortunately you are in the minority. Reviews are ‘mostly’ conducted with features in view, not their hardware. I hope I cleared the point.

It’s not a ‘game-over’ situation if you put adsense from day one. In fact, it has proven to be more useful for me for some of my blogs. The reason I recommend that is because majority of the people on the internet are allergic to advertisements. Most will consider a new website as ’spammy’ if it is too much loaded with ads from day one. So once your blog starts to grab some traffic, start slapping some adsense onto the template. However, putting it from day one works fine too. =)

You forgot about price. Price of Nokia 5800 is one more big plus for this phone.
Wow, thats quite a good comparison there. Yeah the price is a big factor too!
What else I can say… some points apply to both, like the crappy touchscreen.
Great comparison! Well done.
i find the iphone more stylish ;P… nice comparison
Nice one
Good comparison. Leave out your opinions though. Nobody cares.
The iPhone is definitely better looks wise.
It is a lot more expensive though!
John
Yeah the price is a big factor! Good comparison.
Wow!!, thats quite a good comparison.

iphone is best for me.nokia is best only in battery backup
I didn’t see the stat on which on would fly further when hit with a wooden baseball bat vs an aluminum one. Thats all I’d care about
to be honest with yall iphone is for the office people and nokia is for youngsters i would pick nokia over anything, not to mention i have had iphone and did not like it as much as my n96 n now thanks to nokia for bringing out touch screen… but thn again it depends what you like ..

[...] Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Vs iPhone 3G [...]
Hey, I really like 5800 too. But I fear that it will lag since it has a 376 MHz processor vs iPhone’s 524 MHz processor. The reviewer should take the internal hardware in account too. Not so great comparison. Nothing written about their OS, accessories bundle, freedom to use any SIM with Nokia etc. POOR REVIEW.
The comparison is fair in parts and unfair in others. For example, the screen on the iPhone IS impressive! It is odd that you have commented in the negative! You also have neglected to mention that that the iPhone is leagues ahead in terms of touchscreen tech. You have stated it’s a matter of personal taste and yet the Nokia Tube is being billed as touch screen. Also interesting that you have not mentioned that overall style - iPhone is clearly better.
How easy is the Nokia to use? Nothing in the comparison. Looks like you are biased toward the Nokia….
i already buy an Nokia 5800 XpressMusic
let’s just put this nice and honest… nokia 5800 xpressmusic is far better than the iphone…
I prefer Nokia. The Iphone battery really suck big time. The fresh Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is a touch screen sensation that feels really good, looks great, and sounds even better.
[...] spesifikasi iPhone dan Nokia 5800 bisa dilihat di sini, sini, sini dan [...]
i luve the 5800, iphone sucks big time
480$ is alot for UK Shipping anyways unless you are local to the place they are is $100 extra to UK FROM US
Nokia is £249.99 at Nokia shops BLUE AND BLACK and CPW should be less but red only Check website) and fully unlocked for full 3/voda/o2 etc network services.
32GB Micro Card HC now but £90 ish Sankdisk (16gb £40 ish)

GETTING MINE IN 24HRS IN POST
Though the price difference is too high and I do use a Nokia 5800, I believe iPhone does not have any competitor yet. iPhone’s user experience is totally different which is not comparable yet.
5800’s touchscreen isn’t comfortable at all. The material looks cheap (well, it is cheap) and the screen does not look uniform. The web browser has bad implementation, finger scrolling is not comfortable (where Opera Mini works better). Lack of applications, none of WLM Mobile, mig33 or ebuddy works. 5800’s still camera totally sucks, I didn’t get any Carl Zeiss output comparing to N95’s one. The 3.2MP camera is totally useless. But the video camera is really nice.
Btw my Nokia 5800 is in Nokia Care now, as it had some graphics glitch issue
Well, I still prefer 5800, expecting a better firmware, which will upgrade at least the web browser and the camera. Screw iPhone.
Thanks for the review and comparison, it really helps me on deciding which phone i would buy.
nokia 5800 is selling like hot pancakes in riyadh, saudi arabia. i got mine for sr1,450 and two days later the price already went up to sr1,700 in some stores… if you can find one… hehehe. all i can say is: “if you are still contemplating on buying a 5800… contemplate no more… buy it now… it’s so worth it (or your money back… ngehehe).
i got the nokia5800 and it is much louder then the iphone and alot better ild rather have the nokia anyday

Hi…which is better…iPhone or the 3G???
A couple of days ago I bought the Iphone 3g ($680 in Sweden). My old phone (SE P1i) was just too slow, it took years to use diffrent applications. When I compared the Iphone with nokia 5800($513 in Sweden), the Iphone was faster, smoother and more fun to use than the nokia 5800 wich felt pretty much as my old phone but with a larger screen. And the touchscreen of the Iphone is years ahead compared to the Nokia. Plus the Iphone is more stilish, better looking and has a very nice interface. So the choise was pretty simple…
hi i am vaso and i am from Greece…I am between iPhone and Nokia 5800 and i don’t know what to buy. the 5800 costs 340euros and i Phone 580euros…but what about the features??????
which would you suggest me to buy?
I think all those who agree that this was a good review were probably paid by nokia to say that. The nokia is nowhere close to the iphone in terms of style. Versatility. User friendly. Quality. Feel. Iphone leads and nokia follows unsuccessfully. Sorry nokia. Keep trying your tactics.
wonderful very informative
Please solve the expired certificate problem of mine
people ; the nokia 5800 is extremely slow ; it is not confortable to use at all in fact its touch screen is so bad that when you want to touch an icon u have to push like u’re pushing a button . On the other hand ; the I phone ,i mean come on people, the name says it all
Hey guys, I was an I-phone tech support for more than a year, when the 1st iphone was launched, there were like a 30-40 thousand complainants each day and then when the iphone 3G was launched, the complainants was multiplied by 3 to 4 times! That’s gonna be for the US alone!! The fanboys here are those who says iphone is better coz its not!! It sucks!!
Beside all the good thinks that Nokia has, please do not forget that Iphone don’t have bluetooth, If you make a type error (in Iphone) in your contact list you can’t go back.
Maybe Iphone has more style but please Nokia is the best.
I really need some advice on this. I’m about to buy the nokia 5800xm but i’ve been reading that it has a serious display bug. The screen gets a bunch of lines and that this happens quite often. Can anyone who bought there phone after febuary tell me if they’ve experienced this problem ?
Iphone is a very good lookking phone ;P. It’s so nice, but the nokia phone is soo much better ;D…
IVE GOT THE 5800 AND ITS FAULTY HONESTLY IVE HAD A 5300 AND THEN A 5310 AND THEY WAS FINE BUT THIS ONE IS FAULTY HEADPHONES ARE CRAP, SOFTWARE KEEPS FAILING AND I HAVE READ THAT THE SPEAKERS WILL BREAK IN A ABOUT 3-4 MONTHS, NO OFFENCE I LOVE THE PHONE I JUST LIKED IT IF ANY OF THE PROBLEMS WASNT THERE, AND 1 MORE THING THE GAMES ON IT ARE CRAP NOKIA TRIED MAKING SOMETHING LIKE THE I PHONE BUT I DNT RELLY THINK IT WORKED, DO YOU?
What about the Iphones 3G connection? double the internet speed, soon to be doubled again. And don’t forget the App Store, big addition, lets you add functionality to your iphone, thats worth the extra dosh in my opinion.
although Nokia 5800 is better than iphone …but iphone is the godfather of all new phone based on full touchscreen interface.
HOLD IT People all of u are so rich that you forgot about normal life people who want nice phones at cheap rates and i think THE 5800 Xpress rocks because its cheaper and who cares about apps got to ur laptop or pc and download em and move them into your phone No offence u iphone guys are so NAEVE u forgot about the other people who are normals and had been dreaming t buy a phone ….and to be honest i think 5800 suit their needs so backoff iphones (nooffence and im just 14 yrs old:P)
