Nokia has finally revealed its brand new touchscreen phone – Nokia 5800! It is a common knowledge that Nokia creates fantastic smartphones, media phones, and even cheap mobile phones but that is the only one case when Nokia delivered its own touchscreen phone.
It’s pretty clear that people have already named this phone the iPhone’s rival. Whether this comparison is true or not you will find in a couple of minutes. Here is a quick comparison of the iPhone vs Nokia 5800:
- Design
iPhone looks stylish and mind-blowing, Nokia has a certain degree of similarity but it definitely lacks that killer iPhone looks. Nokia’s plastic case is lighter.
- Camera
Nokia 5800 comes with the Carl Zesis 3.2 Megapixel camera and the iPhone has a 2MP cam with no flash. What is more, Nokia has Video Recording!
- Screen and Touch
Touch functionality is great in both mobile phones, however Nokia offers the Stylus, so you can work just the way you like. The iPhone screen is 3.5″ and the Nokia’s 3.2″.
- Music
Both phones come with a 3.5mm headset jack and Nokia even proposes its own music download service.
- Features
Nokia phones are much more open and not so restrictive as Apples. A lot of the standard and easy functions such as Copy n Paste, Sms Forwarding are still a nonsense to the iPhone. Nokia is made for the masses and it is definitely easier to use. Nokia claims much better battery life.
- Memory
iPhone offers 8GB and 16GB version and the 5800 has only a 8GB MicroSDHC card free, you can add a 16GB. Nokia comes with the Usb Mass Storage mode.
- Pricing
The Nokia is CHEAPER!!!

iphones are ok, but there is nothing great about them. i dont see the big deal. it has to be advertizeing. and people like to buy things that are a little more expencive, it means more to them. like you can buy a shirt from walmart, but the one you spen a little more than 3 bucks on is goning to look better because it costs more. anyway there are so many more phones out there that are a little cheaper, look better and work and last better than some iphone.
