On the whole it's decent, but have felt like a beta tester right up until recently! The good; The screen is excellent, it's been a handy movie player. Introduction of free maps (turn by turn) recently has made this a proper alternative to my Tom-tom and has really added value. Music player really good, getting better with each firmware (v50.0.0.5 has left me with no complaints on it as an alternative to my ipod!) Multitasking Fast internet The bad; Screen issues which I assumed was my lcd on the way out turned out to be a firmware bug and was fixed in v50 - quite unbelievable for a released firmware. It's a lousy camera (I don't know why everyone seems to think it's good), especially in anything but bright daylight. Realplayers lack of format support (no divx, very specific ratio requirements) - indeed Realplayer in general lacks options. V40 firmware breaking the radio (and it's still not fixed) Poor rotation sensors (I'm constantly engaged in what's now known amongst my friends as the '5800 flick') Sometimes clunky os - though you get used to it's foibles...

The best part of the phone was most definitely the speakers. They were so loud and clear. I don't know of anyone who has broken their 5800 screen, but I certainly know at least a hand full of iPhone friends that have taken then phone in to have it repaired or replaced. So build quality is definitely top notch. I gave my phone to my Mom probably a week to early, because they released the latest firmware with the kenetic scrolling and the new front screen, something I was looking forward in the 10 months that I had the phone. Oh well, it's definitely made the phone even better than it already was. Definitely up there with the best Nokia smartphones, not the best, but by no means the worst!

I had the 5800 for a year before upgrading to n900. For the price the tech specs were extremely nice (free offline maps helped me all over Europe), although the quickly hacked s60v5 didn't really deliver the perfect or most beautiful UI. Coming from s60v3 it wasn't a problem for me though. It's nice Nokia still updates the FW and the latest update really made the homescreen, if not perfect, very good. My not-so-technically-minded wife uses the 5800 now and she gets everywhere she needs from the home screen, i.e. Communities/Facebook; contacts widget; browser and music from the media button; IM; Mirggi (yes she knows IRC!); email and maps. Funnily, she uses multitasking without realising it isn't a given on all platforms and I needed to explain a bit why the iCompetitor wouldn't cut it :) Nice roundup, agree to most points.
