  Have you crosschecked all features ? I mean what about FM player and Bluetooth ? They are not available on iPhone. Though I dont think the nokia will be giving camera better than 1MP in economy range (nokia claims 3 MP camera for nokia 3600 slide priced in economy range is worse than a 1 MP nokia product which is priced high.)

  Nokia wins hands down. Even if all the features of both the phones come out to be equal... Nokia still wins at price. And Nokia's sales strategy. I wanted to get an iphone before i knew about 5800 but i didnt buy the iphone cuz it was only available with a contract.
  So I'm gonna say F-OFF to iphone and I'm gonna sleep with my 5800 as soon as it hits the shelves!

  Nokia 5800 seems very competetive compared to the iPhone. I still love Apple but it looks like Nokia is better in features with this phone. Does anybody know when it's gonna be released in asia? And how much? Thanks :)

  RE: ur-a-homo
  
  I guess you're the apple fanboy instead.
  
  I had the chance to test both, and I have to say that the audio quality of 5800 has an distinct edge over iPhone's.
  
  Anyway, Comes with Music, although it has a certain type of DRM, it isn't as pervasive as iTunes.
  
  Which is of course, another thing Nokia has done far better than Apple.

  @arashidori I'm actually an Apple fanboy, but I have always owned Nokia phones. I haven't tried the Nokia yet, but in terms of voice quality, I can bet Nokia is better, as you confirm. Let's look at the market share in 1 year time, the market is the only judge.

  Not a bad comparison, just don't think nokia will be able to match Apple's hype machine--at least in the US. In 18 months and with only two models Apple is already nipping at Nokia's heels in the U.S. with 5.7% of the total cell phone market. The iPod was/is not the music player with the best/most features, but it still dominates the market. I think in the US it will come down to RIMM and APPLE for smartphones. In Europe and Asia, the iPhone is unlikely to dominate unless Apple drops the carriers and sells unlocked versions.

  I don't think so, but I'm more and more convinced iPhone is a consumer thing which businesses will never embrace. In the US in particular, RIM will be the winner.

  For sure Nokia has the better phone but how much of the cell phone market will they take back from apple, only time will tell. I have many friends who have the new iphone 3G and a couple who have the original iphone and to be honest, they like the phone but they have quite a few complaints. The reason why people have flocked to the iphone is no ones really come out with an actual competitor. But now finally the big shots have come up with some good competitors such as the sony experia, blackberry storm and Nokia 5800. I think due to all the competition, the iphone will lose some of it's market unless apple finally realizes that they shouldn't hold back on features so that when they come out with iphone 4G with cut and paste.

  Will you please... PLEASE stop being an illiterate troll? You've posted 2 completely uneducated and almost entirely gibberish comments.
  
  The Iphone was revolutionary. But it was also a longshot that other companies had avoided. Noone was sure if an mp3 playing camera phone that can browse the internet would be desirable given it's high cost, but it turned out it was. As such, it was only a matter of time until competition arose, and Nokia has. Iphone is extremely limited in expansion, features, and services and far too expensive. It drew in the consumer market as the first of its kind, but it does not have abilities desired by the corporate world and it now has competition on the market by Nokia and Palm, with others to follow.
  
  I'm sorry to burst your little mac-loving bubble, but the iphone is not the best of it's kind anymore. It's smooth running and pretty, but I can't justify buying it as well as I can the Nokia 5800. The iphone will soon be overshadowed.

  The main point you have to see tho is that the iphone is apples first phone nokia have been doing this for years i work for a nokia repair company but ive got an iphone. i find its much better all round. looks better feels better in your hands. the camera is only a 2mp but i find it is better quality then most cameras on phones out atm. iPhone wins everyitme for me

  I have Iphone 3g and now This Nokia 5800 ExpressMusic.
  Frankly Speak.
  As I am an Apple Fans, I have to admit that Nokia has do the best.
  From the experience of using HTC ,Apple now Nokia.
  This baby is surf the point for easy usage and I first use it for hours and being fall in love.
  The organize menu in to the category is easy to easy and yet my 70 yrs old Grandmum can first use it without problem as I let her try both. She still prefer the Nokia over the Iphone.
  She told me that , Iphone is very fancy and she simply not very a clues what the icon is .

  i dont get it why are you guys even arguing about this??. The iphone has no features, you cant do anything with the iphone except, listen to music and make phone call, lol, Nokia has been making phones for a long long time, they know what they are doing, i have owned alot of cell phones, practically i change phones every month, i have the iphone 2G and the 3G, both of them are crap, for people who said the iphone was the first touch screen phone, please if you dont know anything, please DO NOT make a coment about it. who said the iphone doesnt crash? or freez? i lost my contacts 3 times because it crashed, and no i didnot jail break it. the browser for the internet depends on how fast you network provider works. On iphone 2G there is no GPS people wake up. i like the iphone for its ipod ft. but i think nokia's music quality is as good, there are alot of problems with the iphone, i know so many people who have bought iphones and they regret it. Apple has to wrok much harder for it now, because most of the people have tried it and they dont think it is good. touch screen has been around for a long time, Nokia 7700-7710 / HP Ipaq phone, O2, HTC. palm, and etc. i own all three, and i have to say it, nokia wins, if you have any problem with your nokia, the software upgrade will fix it.

  i have hands on exp on both i phone and nokia 5800.which one is better .,well i cudnt make out.iphone is, yeah, for teenagers..,who just are amused by user unfriendly iphone..,they really wanna distinguish themselves from others sayin "hey i got to..aaa...found out ..hurray made out ..how to use an iphone".well 5800 is not a complete winner over iphone either.response time ..,ui.,styling .. iphone certainly has an edge over 5800.as someone mentioned expandable or switchable memory in 5800 is something that puts iphone to shame.i mean..,we shud encourage things which are comfy for us..,things which really give us options to chose from and not just stick or bound to nonsensical concept ...getting carried away by the brand name just because so called cool people have done it that way,right.finally the two main things ..looks n the price.iphone feels a lot stylish in ur palm than 5800 which has a plastic ,bulky feel.regarding price..whoa whoa whoa...IN THE FACE COMPETITION APPLE SHUD SOON COME UP WITH SOMETHING LIKE "BUY ONE GET ONE FREE".

  I just got the 5800 today and im still leaning more towards my iphone, i cant part so am keeping them both till i decide,
  I definitely love itunes and the fact i can zoom into a specific area on a photo just gliding my finger.
  The nokia is very light in comparison to the iphone and has really good options for which way you would like to txt.
  The camera is not very good at all maybe im doing something wrong but it was quite fuzzy but it's a close call, i don't think i will be able to part with my iphone, but if i do im going to get a ipod because i cant live withot itunes lol.

  I have just bought the 5800 as cheaper and seems a whole lot better in most aspects. my ipod is broke anyway...one of the common errors where the 3.5mm headphone socket buggers up. only one head phone works!! apple are just riddled with bugs and errors. So am waiting for the 5800 to be delivered as will take longer than usual due to being in higher demand!!! I can now use that as my ipod and the years free music!! cant wait!!! i will miss itunes though :(

  Thank you so much for this review.
  
  I was contemplating at first, whether to get an iPhone or something else since it's about time to have a 3G phone.
  
  It becomes a hype here to own an iPhone, since it'll be officially launch here in Malaysia next week, and I was thinking, "should I join the crowd or just follow my own path".
  
  Yeah, I admit that it is much more "cooler" to own an iPhone, but after reading your review, practically, Nokia 5800 is the best choice. Besides, it is much more cheaper!
  
  I can save my money for an Hermes handbag or at least an LV handbag or maybe some other designer's handbag. That will make me be in the crowd as well.. Ha! Ha!
  
  I'll definitely will be getting that Nokia 5800. No more second thought.
  
  Thanks again!

  Thank you for all the comments
  One of the main things people seem to prefer iphone for is itunes
  One big advantage in the nokia is they have been making phones for yrs and know what the customers want
  Another advantage of Nokia is you can use different networks on contract and no unlocking
  I have just ordered my Nokia today on Orange ONE THOUSAND free minutes UNLIMITED text messages and UNLIMITED browsing and all for TWENTY FIVE quid
  Iphone was only SIX hundred minutes and would of been FORTY quid for the sixteen gig
