@Muhammad-Oli, first impressions are something but I'm surprised you've dismissed it so quickly without actually spending time
I think the plain look comes down to the lack of need of too many buttons because the interface works well, but perhaps thats against the normal guy prinicipal of the more buttons and controls... the better!
I got the 5800 for my son a couple of weeks ago and was so impressed I got one for myself and now it serves as my 2nd phone
I'll be the first to admit that it'll never replace the iphone but its definitely worthy of consideration IMHO

@Masseur: Nice to see you here.
You're right, I did only see the phone for a few seconds and what I saw may not have been the best example of what the phone offers. I will have to try one properly before making a solid opinion.
But I think at this stage that what I don't like about its appearance is the funny rounded lip that acts as a bezel and makes the screen and the three buttons appear recessed slightly. That and the rounded appearance don't particularly appeal to me. I was surprised about its size though, probably more in a good way. It still seems quite pocketable despite looking fat in images.

@Masseur
I noticed the 5800 as a 2nd phone in the 2nd phone thread the other day. Glad to see you still have the W890.
I had a few seconds play on a 5800 at Uni a couple of weeks ago and I felt the implementation of the TS UI was very good but I just don't like Nokia's menu structure and font style. I also found it too thick for my liking and it had a cheap plasticky feel not at all comparable to the iPhone. Overall I liked it but wouldn't swap my iPhone for it.
The big question is would I spend $800 on a W715 or on a 5800? Touchscreen or fantastic SE UI it comes down to for me. Whadya think...?

$800 NZ dollars? thats about £316. I paid £180 for each of the two 5800's I have bought and even at high street prices its only about £249-£299 in UK
so what I think is that you have it tough there! but I guess its the same in oz too

Black+White's pricing seems pretty decent. They have the C902 significantly cheaper than Vodafone do, but still not as cheap as I got it.

God, where the hell is NZ comms? I get 100% reception with them (test it by putting network select on manual mode and put a telecom global roaming sim in your phone, it gives you an option of vodafone or nz comms) and very intermittent coverage with vodafone. But really, their network is on, how much power are they wasting with that?
