contract's up soon, and current phone's been dropped once too often, so weighing up the options available.
The above handset looked like the way forward.
The technophobe in me says 'hmmm, Don't be too hasty'
The shallow and aspirational bling grabber in me says ' ooooohhh, look at that . You know you want it'
Any pearls of wisdom from m'learned fellow forumees?
Havn't read any reports,but try Googling 5800 reviews. In theory it should be great. My only concerns would be that it is their first proper touch screen device, and the first phone on the market with Symbian S60 5th edition operating system, so there may be some issues. If t'were me I would try to wait a month or two to see if any problems show up
I've just got one, had it a few days and like it a lot.
I am a bit annoyed that it is not a handset that has access to Nokias "Comes with Music" free download software.

Review I read (gsmarena) said menus were a bit inconsistent - e.g. one tap to do somethings, 2 required for others.
I got one as a contract and sold it on, I'm used to an ipod touch and the touchscreen clearly doesn't come close.
I've had one for about 3 weeks now. Got it as a free upgrade on Vodafone.
I think it's great and haven't had any problems. Don't know anything about Symbian S60 but as a touch screen it seems very effective. I haven't played with an iPhone so I don't know how it compares.
I've managed to download all my iTunes onto it including the audio only podcasts. Haven't managed to load any video to it yet but I spend most of my spare time looking for jobs at the moment.
Mine came with a 8Gb SD card, radio tuner, headphones and a mass of cables. Only thing I don't like is you can only charge it on a mains plug-in charger, my old Motorola could charge via it's USB cable from any PC or laptop.
