After three years of using a phone that probably belonged more to 2005 then 2010, I have decided to ditch my basic phone for something that is brand new and actually fitting in with the technology of the day (well, I say ditch, I will keep it in case something bad happens to the new phone). It also seems that, in the absence of any money to buy a PAYG iPhone, I am remaining loyal to Nokia and buying a Nokia 5800 in my hunt for something that is a good alternative to the popular smartphone. It’s the first touch screen phone they’ve ever made and I read some pretty favourable reviews from sites like Wired. It’s not a perfect phone by any means, though the flaws I’ve read will need to be proven when I test it out next week.
Despite this, it does pretty much everything I want it to. It has GPS, it has internet access, it can take reasonable photos and videos and audio. It’s not a Nexus One or a Palm Pre or even the aforementioned Apple device, but it does what I want it to do, and that’s fine by me.
