“The design is somewhat boxy, with the corners being only slightly rounded at the top and bottom. The phone isn’t ugly, but it isn’t sexy–it’s obviously meant to be a productivity tool for a mobile professional, with no added frills.
The exterior case has been finished with a “soft touch” feel that is comfortable to hold and doesn’t catch fingerprints and smudges. That also means that the phone isn’t slippery at all, and feels good in the hand. It’s about as wide a device as is comfortable to use with one hand, unless you’re manipulating the power switch. This is a slider at the top left edge of the phone, and it’s a real pain to use.
Waking and sleeping the device are a quick slide of the button, which I can do with one hand, reaching up with my index finger. Turning the device on or off is a two-handed operation though, because you have to hold the switch for several seconds and the ridges on the switch tend to dig in a big painfully. I’d rather hold the phone with one hand and then use the edge of my fingernail to slide and hold the switch.” Read more here:
“Nokia’s only S60 Fifth Edition based handset, the 5800 XpressMusic, has started to receive another firmware update, just weeks after a major update last month. The briskly selling, but initially buggy 5800 XpressMusic had earlier received a massive firmware update to fix some of its nagging issues that plagued it right from the start. The phone became a lot zippier and stable with that update. Looks like things will stabilize even more with the latest update that certain sections of 5800XM users across the globe seem to be receiving. The update comes in the form of V21.0.0.25 that devices with product codes from Asia are receiving. Initial reports point towards a better camera and usual “performance improvements”. 5800XM users in India might want to run their NSU (Nokia Software Updater) and check if there is anything new available for your phone.
