Speaker problem is covered by Nokia warranty and repaired in 20min so don't be afraid!
But this phone is not as fantastic as people think:
-Poor screen in sunlight
-Poor games compared to Iphone
-Slow photo browser
-Awfull look(will get you on your nerves with time)
-Not finger touch (but finger nail)
-Battery unstable,can vary from 18h to 36h with the same exact use!
-Camera not acceptable in low light even for the minimum demanded quality(and I am not a fan of photo-phones)
Results: after 3 weeks of 5800 I am gonna switch to the real king...the Iphone

After hearing all these complaints about the 5800 I was actually pleasantly surprised by the phone itself, this one is running v11 which seems a big step up from v10 reading the changelog.
The only niggle I have at the moment is that the accelerometer doesn't work very well, it's a bit hesitant to rotate at times and the alarm clock crashed which I think was down to this feature as well. I've read very mixed views on the touchscreen so I assume there is some bad hardware out there, this one works fine with fingers - it only needs fingernail touches for software that has tiny buttons such as the BBC Iplayer.
I don't really understand the constant comparisons between this and the IPhone, they're both touchscreen devices but they're quite different. The Iphone is more of a flashy fashion phone which is lacking in many areas whereas the 5800 is more basic in use but a far more functional device. I would never consider an Iphone with its current hardware and software whereas I'm quite pleased with the 5800. Just depends what you're looking for in a phone.

Is it me or the 5800 is more than the officially given 14.4mm thick??
My old k850 seems to be as fat!!
I will measure it but I think it's more 16mm than 14.4
Iphone all the way

this phone isn't really a upgrade for me is it guys?
I mean this thing hasn't got nothing different over my N95-2 has it?
btw it's a pretty cheap phone im amazed it's only £249.99 sim free of Nokia

I had an N95 when they first came out and got rid because I had got so used to Touch Screen and the slider was getting floppy after just 30odd days.
I now have the 5800XM and have to say its great and the sound is amazing! but you are right apart from Touch interface it does not have any functional advantage over the N95 but it does not have a sloppy slider either!
This is what a certain "fruit manufacturers" device would just love to be!

I agree the N95-1 has a dodgey slider but then Nokia brought out the Black 1 and ive had that a year and ive had no problems with it in that way,
only kak thing is how Nokia bringout these kakky updates which I hate lol
the 5800 is nice but I think i'd be stupid to replace my N95-2 with it,
it's a downgrade lol

The problem with the 5800 is its design!!!
It's so stupi*ly designed that yes compared to a N95/N96 and C905 it's like comparing a Skoda to a BMW
Some people say that it's done in purpose so people will still get the N97,but even the N97 has a similar design(but perhaps different materials)
I will try again a C905 for 24h,if I like it I will swap my 5800!
I bought an ipod touch so I will not miss the touch and apps
