LTWW – Hey, you are right? I went to a Nokia event last evening and yes, the advertisement is everywhere today in Singapore.

Apparently, all the 5800 XpressMusic phones Come With Music. I will write a little bit on the event in just a bit.

Thanks for your reply. From what I know, the ‘Comes with music’ is actually paying it in money through the purchasing of the phone. It would cost a few bucks more, probably 50 to buy the ‘Comes with Music’ . If I am not wrong, I think they actually give you an account to the 5800 XpressMusic store. This phone has attracted one of my classmates already!

cg86 – Thank you for your kind words. From my brief interaction with the phone, it does have a lot to go for. I had the opportunity to chat with one of the product managers in one recent Nokia event. I asked why such a long wait and he shared with me that Nokia wants to make sure that the new 5800 XpressMusic has the highest manufacturing quality before a release here in Singapore.

I can understand as this is Nokia’s very first touch screen phone and they are a bit behind from the rest of the touch screen models. Hence, to get it right at first launch to me is an absolute must.

And no, I am not from Nokia … lol. I work in a bank …

Was googling around for a review on this phone, which i’ve been waiting for since goodness knows when. (WLan + cam + music? it’s drool worthy in it’s own class)

I love your review, especially the way you described the different typing skills. Like you, I’m a old-fashioned kinda person, so when you mention the default alpha-numeric keyboard, i’m thrilled.

Now all I’m waiting to do is for one of the telco operators in Singapore to start selling one.

Great review! 2 thumbs up! (I’d give u 2 big toes up too, but I don’t think that’s relevant)

Eunice – Thanks for your comments! I had no idea that Lifehouse had a gig at St. James. And I am quite surprised that they don’t have one at some venues that can be attended by all. I wonder why …

LTWW – Ah … I guess in the event on Feb 27, Nokia may announce that their new 5800 will be for sale the next day. That makes sense …

Wow, I just realised everyone’s hyped up over the new phone, while I just really envy the author for being able to attend the Lifehouse’s private showcase! Mega fan of Lifehouse here, really wanted to attend the private showcase ’cause I wasn’t of legal age to attend their gig at St. James. Anyway, nice phone, nice pics!
