im currently using E90. the best in terms of mobility. no need for a laptop if your just doing simple stuff.

 

used N95 before i bought my E90. in terms of web browsing, hindi na masyado nakakahilo mag internet compared to N95. down part is E90 is bulky in the pocket. kailangan talaga bitbitin. dont use the stock leather case that came with the package. magagasgas yung battery cover. capdase for me is the best holster for E90

How much is the iphone 2g?

[centrino]

Any help on this will surely be appreciated.

 

TIA :thumbsupsmiley:

 

I corrupted my memory card once, unfortunately dun ko pala na install yung "Multi Scanner / Card Reader' application. Does anybody know kung san ako pwede mag download ng installer nito?

 

This feature is used so you can save information sa business (hard copy) to your phonebook by scanning the card. I've tried nokia.com but couldn't find that installer

http://www.tube5800.com/20-reasons-why-nok...n-apple-iphone/

 

) Size

The iphone is bigger in size and uneasy for one hand grip. Nokia 5800 is designed to fit well into your hands. Being smaller in width, its easy to operate single handedly.

4) Storage

Iphone comes with two options- 8GB & 16GB internal memory. Nokia has a more flexible option to offer 8GB with micro SD card which is expandable upto 16GB. Nokia owners can expand memory size according to needs which the Iphone guys can’t do.

 

5) Input Methods

Nokia 5800: Finger, stylus, plectrum, handwriting recognition.

 

6) Features

7) Colors

Iphone: Black for 8 & 16 GB, White for 16 GB only.

Nokia 5800: Red, Blue and Black.

 

8 ) Battery

Nokia 5800 provides upto 35 hrs of music playing time against Apple Iphone which claims just 24 hrs. Overall battery power (talktime/standby) is also about 30% more in Nokia 5800. What more, 5800 has a removable battery which Iphone lacks.

Nokia 5800: 8.8 hrs talk-time, 406 hrs standby, removable battery.

Nokia 5800: All the above is possible plus it has MMS ver 1.3, message size upto 600kb, and automatic resizing of Images for MMS.

 

19) Price

Nokia 5800 is hopefully unlocked (without any contract) and will sell much cheaper for just £219 in UK which is equal to 279 Euros or $385.

 

Apple iPhone 3G, on the other hand, with contract in US comes for $199 & $299 for 8 & 16 GB models and the plans with AT&T are way too expensive. Unlocked Apple Iphones sells for around $800 on Ebay.

 

In other parts of the world, the 8GB unsubsidized Iphone model costs 499 euros ($700) in Italy, 350 pounds ($620) in UK, $700 in India. Nokia 5800 Xpressmusic is expected to sell around the world for about $400 or below.

 

20) Experience

Nokia: Ages of experience, hundreds of success stories and dozens of smart handsets in current portfolio. Nokia has about 40% market share with the No.1 spot with no close competitors. Certainly the king when it comes to brand value, service and experience.

 

Apple: First phone ever launched by Apple is Iphone, no prior experience in the telecom market. It’s a novice in the market with a very less market share despite having millions of Iphone sold.

 

Verdict:

Almost all the major brands around the world like Samsung, HTC, LG, etc launched their touchscreen smartphones with a hope to beat Apple’s Iphone. No-one came close to Iphone when it comes to looks, style, feel and features.

 

This is the first time a tech giant like Nokia has hit it hard with its first true touchscreen smartphone. Nokia 5800 is a real Iphone killer with way ahead features, perfect looks and great price. Bravo Nokia, Well Done!!

nice! 5800 rule!!!

The Omnia's specs are far superior than the 5800 mid-entry phone's specs.. For argument's sake, having a 3.2 camera is better than the Samsung Omnia's 5MP? I beg to differ.. I'd get the Omnia anyday than the 5800.. The Omnia's camera is far superior than even the N95's 5 MP (I know coz my wife has an N95).. Now when it comes to colors, I dunno, but I feel that the higher resolution that the 5800 has over the Omnia is forgiveable because its a Windows Platform'ed phone.. Thus, it offers more specs (Windows Office Mobile, for one)..

 

The Nokia 5800 is just an Express Music Phone.. I wanted this before but it looks cheap if compared to the looks of the IPhone and the Omnia, IMO.. If Nokia would be launching an N-series rival of the Iphone and the Omnia, that is when I would take a second look.. Could not care much about the price, as I am more into the specs and the looks of a phone..

 

The target for the XPress Music Phones is not the same with what the Communicator and the N-series' targets are.. Which is actually the upper market.. Its not a business phone while the Omnia is.. The IPhone 3G can be dubbed as a business phone because for one thing, its an Apple phone..

 

The Memory of the Omnia is actually built-in.. 8MB or 16MB and it is expandable coz it has a memory card slot.. While the 5800 only offers an 81MB internal and an 8MB free external.. Mas mabilis din ang Omnia sa pag-process..

 

However, there are 3 things I like about the 5800, its price, its high resoution and its built-in stylus.. Basically, that is it.. And these things does not make the 5800 the best Iphone killer there is..

 

The 5800 might look like the Omnia or the IPhone but its definitely not a high-end phone.. Its a mid-level phone.. I have the Omnia and I love its specs.. And honestly, before I would buy the 5800, I am certainly looking forward to buy the N97 instead.. I still have the N9500 (Second Communicator) and I am thinking of replacing it with a Nokia phone that has a full Qwerty keyboard but not bulky.. Then the N97 is it.. 5MP Camera, 32GB Internal and expandable up to 16GB..

 

I would love to have the N97 and my Samsuing Omnia to go hand-in-hand in my pocket.. :thumbsupsmiley:

 

Now this is a phone!!! Hope to have some funds to buy this phone this year..

got my LG cookie last xmas, sad to say it rebooted three times on the first week and restore the original settings.

Battery is not that... how should i call it...precise....

yesterday, i forgot my charger and after using it for almost two days, run out of battery. then when i charged it and turn it on..there goes my settings again including saved text messages. i tried to search the problem to other sites but the complain/s is the same.

and oh....sometime screen lock can bug you, three seconds i think and no custom settings ( i think).

 

bad cookie...

 

care to share any solutions????

[centrino]

Here's one negative review for this gadget..

 

 

About two days ago I was receiving text messages with only numbers on the sender line. When I checked, I confirmed that these senders are actually in my phone book and their previous messages appeared just fine. However, since that time the phone's inbox cant seem to link the name on the phonebook that corresponds to the number of the sender. Thus, it only displays the number of the sender, as if the number isn't on my phone book or there was a double entry (there was none).

 

I isolated the problem. It seems that the E71 cannot handle that much messages in the inbox. My total messages in the inbox? 2084 messages (inbox only). I tried deleting messages and I'm as good as new.

[Ishanshade]

Same problem pero ako less than that number of message pero cant recognize the number.

[naer23]

Any users here who would want to share anything....

 

is it really a iphone killer

 

What are the things that we should look out for... etc...

[suteki kuruma]

Same problem pero ako less than that number of message pero cant recognize the number.

 

Have any of you guys tried saving messages on your memory card instead? i wonder if that would be better?

 

sometimes i get that "full memory, please close aps." i don't have any application running and i still have about 105mb free.

[naer23]

in my experience best all around phone, music, application 3.2megapixel cam 8 gig expandable up to 32 very loud speaker(music xpress) as a modem using 3.5g so mabilis na net, full view sa internet malaki kasi screen same sa movies. touch screen

 

 

 

iphone killer i think not yet but they are close, lamang ang nokia because of third party applications camera and speaker,lamang lng ang i phone sa accelerometer for the touch screen.

[C@llboy]

One of my officemate bought that 5800.. He said nagha-hang daw sya? any feedbacks from other owners?

[renegade38]

I like the make of this one.

[renegade38]

I've been an Ericsson user for over a decade na. What I liked from them is the sturdiness of the fone (dami ko na naibagsak). Unfortunately, I was waiting for the new c905 pero ang tagal dumatin kaya I switched to Iphone 3g. Can't complain with it naman so far.

[jbcast86]

san po makakakuha ng mga games for e71?

 

Thanks

[naer23]

sa akin wala pa naman the only set back i felt is di ka makatext ng hindi nakatingin

[krisnathan24]

anyone got reviews on the new c905 ericsson phone? i am thinking of buying one since it features a camera 8MP. I saw it once in galleria with a price tag of 29k. don't know the other details, though.

Actually saving messages on memory card not phone memory... I also get the same "full memory.." message but it goes away after a few seconds, and everything's back to normal.

Thanks

 

Other than the games that came along with the package I don't think there are lot of game packages for this phone as this is primarily a business phone
