The Diamond costs 21.5k and the 5800 18.5k. Prices have dropped lately.

btw does the new 5800 suffer frm the earpiece problem too?

Never go for TouchWiz..instead go for 5800 without second thoughts

5800XM is really slow one when u compare with HTC-diamond , htc diamond cam is better than 5800XM .
HTC diamond is fast and good one for geeks ,its has awesome UI ---> 5800XM is baby to HTC diamond , htc diamond is available for 21.5K that s truly a very good deal for that phone

^^where did u steal all those shoes??

^^ really not frm u

I tested 5800xm today. Really looks like a brick. Even I would suggest HTC Diamond. The fun part when checking 5800 is that the hapatic feedback made me feel like the back cover was loose !

HTC can be made to dual boot with andriod which is kinda cool acually.

^^ 5800 looks like a brick? Looked sleek and sexy to me.

u mite also want to consider the LG cookie ... its a delightful phone to use ... althoufg its not as good as 5800 or HTCs in the same range (in terms of smartfone functionalities) , it does the job for msging , calling , music , snaps etc ... plus it'll save u a good 7.5 k ....

Are it was not for you..It was for the spam that was deleted

no dont go for nokia 5800 music express for god's sake... crappy one ... my friend has got that. They dont even give bundled apps like office etc. tried to copy iphone but failed miserably... although the iphone was also indeed miserable ;-)

@vandit:
they do give quick office which u can use to read office docs....
read the review which 'rajhot' pointed out...

Last week one of my frnd here in TDF brought 5800XM for his bro. I tested it and felt like it was a total waste for 18.5k(if it was around 14-15k, I would hav said ok). The fone is damn slow, and the cam was below par...even my 9k SE k790i does far better than 5800XM in cam quality and music play back. Tested even with EP630 earphones, but it lacked bass and treble, mid was ok.

But I really liked its video playback quality and the loudspeaker. Its gud for movies, u will get a tabletop stand too for watching video. The user interface too was a pleasure to work with its touch screen. After iPhone, this has the best touch screen I think(except no multi-touch).

The fone comes with 8GB mem. and hav GPS and WLAN. Guys like me who hav free access to WiFi at clge can use it for downloading movies and other stuffs

(8GB downloading per day is more than enuf

)

My verdict is dat, its gud for people who need just some looks(its a sexy

) and for running simple office apps. Instead of wasting money, put some extra bucks and buy HTC touch Diamond for 21.5k.

thanks for the info j1n M@tt....tell me one thing ...doesnt it produce bass like SE 'w' series Megabass feature...is the 5800 bass soo weak...

there is megabass like profile in the equalizer presets, but if r a SE phone user, you will never get satisfaction by the bass produced by 5800XM. and one thing i noticed is dat EP630 produces over treble in most of the cases, but when connected to 5800XM, the treble was weak too!!

is 5800 slower than n73?

for most of the nokia fones as the size of the mem card used increases the phone speed becomes lower. same with 5800XM, its 8GB mem card and its slow processor makes it slower than n73 in most operations.

hey everybody says that 5800 loudspeaker is good enough...does it somewhat compensates the weak bass...

ya its loudspeaker is good...but loudspeakers doesn't produce bass, it can only produce high or low mid. and true audiophiles cares abt gud headphone sound reproduction than loudspeaker.
