Gr8 machine. Probably the best.
1 of 1 found this helpful This is a gr8 phone. Light, solid, scratch proof glass, incredible camera an good functionality. Finger navigation is easy and fast. I would highly recommend it. It works with most native bluetooth hands free car systems. FM transmiter is a great function to play all your music in the car. Free navigation for life. What more can one want?

bought to replace my HTC Diamond 1
Bought this phone to replace an HTC Diamond that did not work with my VW's Bluetooth kit.
negative points:
. Bulkier
. Heavier
. Not as sophisticated
. placement of charging, USB, and headset plugs at top rather than bottom of phone
. Does not charge when connected to USB
. Does not auto adjust screen brightness
. Having to use Double and single clicks... gets confusing
. Does not come with office application
Positive points:
. Great speakers sound
. longer battery life
. faster start and shut down times
. screen is more responsive to both fingers and stylus
. SD card expandable memory
. Camera has good Flash
. uses regular rather than USB headphones
Overall this is a good phone. Solid, quality feeling case and accessories.
I am still trying to get used to the logic of the new interface, so I will not make any positive or negative comments on how her or easy it is to get something done with this phone compared to the HTC Diamond.
As far as the it feeling less sophisticated than the HTC Diamond, I will just point two things out to illustrate my comment:
. In the HTC, the phone understood that you were going to use it when you pulled out the stylus and automatically unlocked the phone and turned on the screen. The Nokia 5800 does not do that.
. In the HTC, the front facing camera was used as both a proximity sensor (to turn off the screen when the phone was close to your face during a call) and as a light sensor to automatically adjust the brightness of the screen.
I am a big fan of the windows interface, but I am willing to give this a try, and I am committed to stick to it, so in a few weeks I will probably like this phone more than I like it now. Right now though, I still miss my HTC Diamond.
