The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic phone has been eagerly awaited, as it's been touted as Nokia's first real iPhone-killer. Sporting a fancy new touchscreen user interface, the Nokia 5800, also known as the Nokia Tube before its release, is a mid-range phone that's designed purely for fun and media while offering a similar user interface experience to the iPhone.

Better still, it comes with Nokia's Comes With Music service, which lets you download an unlimited number of tunes from its music store for an annual subscription.

So with good looks, a promising user interface and some nifty features, all from a phone that won't break the bank, the Nokia 5800 looks very promising indeed. Read on for the full Nokia 5800 review to find out if it lives up to its hype.

Nokia 5800 overview

The Nokia 5800 is a candybar phone that operates solely via touchscreen. There isn't even a physical keypad on the 5800, so like the iPhone, you have to do everything via its touchscreen. Nokia clearly aren't as confident with their touchscreen recognizing your fingers, though, as they've included a stylus, something that the iPhone doesn't have (Apple are too cool for stylii!)

Primarily, the Nokia 5800 is aimed at media fans, with a particular emphasis on music. Everything about the phone is therefore geared around providing easy access to an unlimited amount of music and videos for your listening and viewing pleasure!

Nokia 5800 Features

User interface

One of the things that had everybody so eager to see this new phone was the 5800's new touch-based user interface. Nokia have dabbled with animated user interfaces before on their phones, but they've never combined an animated interface with a touchscreen in quite the same way as they have with the 5800.

For example, when browsing through your photos, you can go from one photo to the next just by swiping the screen. Although the iPhone has been doing this since the day it was first released, this is the fist time that a Nokia phone has done it, and so you can see why people have been calling this the iPhone killer.

The Nokia 5800's interface isn't as good as the iPhone's though, but then the phone is only a mid-range device,and so costs a lot less than the iPhone. In fact, at just £250, the 5800 costs so much less than the iPhone that you can buy it outright for the same price as the iPhone and just 3 months of charges!

As far as text entry is concerned, you have to use a virtual keyboard. These can be notoriously flaky,but luckily the 5800 gives you several options with which to enter text: a straight QWERTY virtual keyboard, T9 text entry, or handwriting recognition though its stylus, which seems to work quite well.

Nokia 5800's music player

The Nokia 5800 was designed at the outset to be a music playing mobile phone, and in this it doesn't disappoint. It's not just the abilities of its music player that's so good, it's the user interface that enables you to access all your tunes so easily, plus Nokia's new Comes With Music service.

The music player itself comes with a variety of codecs (mp3, SpMidi, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, and WMA) and the usual playlists, equalizer, and so on. The 5800 alos comes with an FM radio and 3.5mm standard headphone jack.

However, it's doubtful you'll ever need the radio, as the Comes Wtih Music service is just so compelling. Similar to iTunes ion that it's an online store of millions opf tunes, Comes With Music lets you browse, listen and download tunes directly to your phone over the air. However, unlike iTunes, once you've downloaded your tunes, you can keep them forever and freely swap them between your phone and your PC.

Better still, you don't pay per track; rather, you pay an annual subscription,which gives you access to whatever tunes you want. The tunes don't expire after your subscription does, either - you keep them forever.

Nokia 5800 camera

The Nokia 5800 is designed primarily for use as a media player phone rather than a camera phone, and so its camera and video features aren't quite as good as on some other phones. The camera, for example, is only 3.2 megapixels, although it does come with a variety of different settings for getting the best photos you can, as well as Carl Zeiss optics.

In addition, with dual LED flash, it's actually surprisingly good at taking photos in low light conditions. As such, although it may not have the largest megapixels, it's certainly able to hold its own compared to many other camera phones on the market.

Video camera

As well as the main stills camera, the 5800 also comes with a video camera, which isn't too shabby. Capable of shooting at 640x480 pixels at 30 frames per second, it'll certainly produce some good results.

You can also watch video from a variety of different formats, including MPEG4-SP, MPEG4-AVC, WMV9, and MPEG4-SP nHD.

Web browsing

The Nokia 5800 is an ideal device for browsing the Web. Its touchscreen offers a 3.2" 640 x 360 display with 16 million colours, which means Web pages are rendered in a clear easy to read format. Any web page that could do with a bit of magnifying can easily be zoomed in simply by double tapping the screen at the appropriate point. The screen can also be dragged around by holding a page with the finger and moving it around, much like the iPhone.

The browser is the WebKit browser that Nokia use in all of its higher end phones, and having used this browser for over a year in my Nokia E90, I can tell you that it really is one of the best mobile browsers on the market today. Combing WebKit with a touchscreen interface is an excellent touch that should amke browsing the Web on the 5800 simplicity itself.

Video of the Nokia 5800 in action

Pictures, as they say, paint a thousand words, so here are a few videos of the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic in action.

The Nokia 5800 vs the iPhone

The Nokia 5800 was compared to the iPhone when it was announced, simply because of its touchscreen abilities. However, as Nokia themselves are quick to point out, it's not an iPhone killer, and it's not meant to be - rather, it's a great little mid-range music phone that just happens to have an excellent touchscreen display.

It's interesting to note that Nokia still haven't released a phone that competes head to head with the iPhone. The 5800 comes closest so far, but that's only because of its touchscreen abilities. Until Nokia comes up with a touchscreen phone with the same level of music abilities and Web browsing as the 5800, combined with GPS and an application development environment similar to the iPhone AppStore, we won't see the two companies going head to head.

Summary

The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is a fantastic music phone. It combines the ease of use and intuitive nature of the iPhone's user interface with the feature set that Nokia is known for in a phone that must be one of the bargains of the Century! At just £250, the Nokia 5800 is almost too good to be true - touchscreen controls, great Web browsing, camera, video camera, accelerometer, Wi-Fi, 3.5G HSDPA - the list goes on!

It's extremely usable, looks great, will do pretty much whatever you want a phone to do, and is extremely good value. 9/10.

Samsung's latest designer phone goes on sale tomorrow, and offers a breath of fresh air from designer phones of the past year or so, almost all of which have been touchscreen phones.

Instead, the Night Effect is a candybar phone with typical sleekly black Samsung lines coupled with an Armani logo emblazoned across the centre of the phone, on its side and on its back.

At first glance, the Armani phone doesn't seem to offer anything original. Being a designer phone, it was never going to have a killer feature set of course, and so its list of features is indeed a bit ordinary:

• 2.2" QVGA screen
• Quad band GSM + HSDPA connectivity
• 12mm thick
• 3 Megapixel Camera
• Music Hot keys
• 3G Equipped
• Bluetooth Connectivity
• Media player with Video Recorder
• FM Radio
• 3.5mm Audio Jack

However, it does have one little trick up its sleeve - the so called Night Effect. This is a series of lights along its side that illuminate at different times depending on what the phone is doing. They'll also pulsate in time to the music.

The Samsung Armani M7500 isn't going to win any awards for its features, and it's not the most revolutionary of designer phones either, but if designer phones do it for you, and you like the Armani brand, then check it out. You can buy the Samsung Armani M7500 from Dialaphone from tomorrow (Friday 9th Dec).

Gartner, meanwhile,has forecasted that 110 million 5 megapixel+ camera phones will ship globally next year, ramping up to 330 million by 2011.

Part of this is obviously to do with the fact that a high quality camera phone is desirable in its right, but it's also due to the decreasing cost of developing such phones. In 2007, for example, 5 megapixel+ camera phones were extremely expensive high-end affairs, with the Nokia N95 leading the way. In 2008, 5 megapixels has reached the high mid-range market, with 8 megapixels becoming the norm for the top-end phones.

This trend is set to continue, as Nokia is expected to include a 5 megapixel camera on nearly all of its phones starting from next year. If it does do this, then Gartner's figure looks an absolute certainty.

Who'd have thought in an age of TV phones, Sat-Nav phones, video phones and other such wonders, the humble camera phone would still be such a huge sales driver?

Samsung are serious about the Pixon. They see it as a genuine challenger to Sony Ericsson's CyberShot brand of camera phones, and so are using all their digital camera experience to create a new range of high end camera phones based on the Pixon brand.

But enough of the background. What about the phone? Read on for initial Samsung Pixon M8800 review.

Samsung Pixon Overview

The Samsung Pixon is a camera phone that's been designed from the ground up to be the best camera phone on the market. Not content with fitting it with a huge 8 megapixel, Samsung have also equipped the Pixon with GPS, 7.2Mbps HSDPA, DivX support, a fantastic screen, an upgraded version of their TouchWiz touchscreen user interface, and more camera wizzardry than you knew existed.

The Samsung Pixon's exterior

With so many features in the Pixon, you'd expect it to be a bit bulky, but not a bit of it. The pixon is just 13.8mm thin, which compares favourably with the Nokia N96 (18mm) and the Sony Ericsson C905 (18.5mm), both of which will be the Pixon's main competitors.

The Pixon is a touchscreen phone with no stylus or keys except for the usual call connect/disconnect and a cursor button. The phone's front is dominated by a huge 3.2" screen that can display 262,000 colours (16 million would have been better, but hey, you can't have everything!)

Samsung Pixon Camera

The camera and its functions are what everyone's raving about with the Pixon. Sure it's 8 megapixels, but size isn't everything. Fortunately, Samsung realize this, and so have added the following huge array of camera features to the Pixon to ensure you get the best pictures for the minimum amount of fuss:

• 8-megapixel camera with Auto focus
• Digital zoom (X16)
• Dual Power LED Flash
• ASR (Advanced Shake Reduction)
• WDR (Wide Dynamic Range)
• Face Detection, Smile Shot, Face Link (face tagging),
• Geo-tagging, Auto Panorama Shot, Photo memo
• Photo Browser (Accelerometer Sensor, Tilt and flip,
• Sorting by Face/Time/Color/Folder)

The Dual Power LED Flash is the same type as that used by the N96. It's not quite as powerful as a Xenon flash, but it doesn't drain the battery as much either, and it's quicker to recharge, meaning you can continue taking photos in low light after your initial snap.

Face detection, smile shot and Face Link are innovative features that help you take better pictures of people. Face detection automatically focuses on a person's face; Smile Shot goes one better and focuses on their smile; and Face Link lets you tag a face with the person's name, so you can search through your photos by their face and name.

Samsung Pixon Video camera

You can record full frame video with the Pixon at DVD quality (30fps at 720 x 480), or an incredible 120fps at QVGA picture size, which enables you to take slow motion pictures at speeds four times slower than real life.

The Pixon also supports a wide range of video formats, including MPEG4, WMV, DivX, and XviD, letting you watch videos no matter what format they're encoded in (well, apart from those encoded in formats it doesn't support!)

Unbelievably, the Pixon also comes with 5.1 Surround Sound! Not entirely sure how this works on something the size of a phone, but it certainly sounds impressive.

Samsung Pixon's other features

In addition to a superb camera and video recorder, the Pixon also comes with Assisted GPS, which enables you to tag your pictures by location and view them on a map of where tey were taken, as well as providing you with directions to wherever you want to go.

It also supports 7.2Mbps HSDPA, enabling super-fast downloads. It would have been nice if the Pixon had WiFi as well, but better to have HSDPA than WiFi, as ytou're not reliant on finding hotspots. 7.2Mbps should be more than fast enough anyway.

What else could you want from a high end camera phone? MP3 player with support for MP3, AAC, e-AAC+, e-AAC+, WMA, and enhanced by Samsung's Digital Natural Sound engine (DNSe)? Check.

Bluetooth 2.0, USB 2.0,TV-Out, and support for 8GB MicroSD cards? Check!

Accelerometer? Check. In fact, Samsung go one further with their accelerometer. When looking at photos, you can tilt the phone left or right, and the pictures will slide left and right in response, as if you'd tilted a shelf that they were standing on.

You can see the effect in the (somewhat cheesy!) video below.

Summary

The Samsung Pixon is shaping up to be one of the best camera phones on the market. It'll have stiff competition with the Nokia N96, Sony Ericsson C905 and LG Renoir, but with this list of features, it should be more than capable of holding its own.

The Samsung Pixon release date is set for late October. Look out for it at Phones4U or Dialaphone, where you can pre-order your Pixon now.

A poorly implemented touchscreen phone is little short of a disaster. They’re so slow an inaccurate, they make the entire phone almost unusable.

Fortunately, my misgivings with the Tocco proved entirely unfounded. It’s a super-slim feature-packed touchscreen designer phone from Samsung that’s well put together and a lot of fun to use.

Samsung Tocco F430 Overview

The Samsung Tocco F430 came out at the same time as the Samsung Omnia, but whereas the Omnia was heavily promoted as an iPhone killer, the Tocco was its little brother.

In many ways, this went in favour of the little Tocco, as it didn’t have the heavy weight of expectation hanging over it.

The Tocco, then, is a slim touchscreen phone with a good set of features, including 5 megapixel camera and 7.2Mbps HSDPA for super-fast downloads. As with any mobile phone, though, it’s not the list of features that matters, it’s how well they work, so on with the Tocco review!

Samsung Tocco’s exterior

The first thing you notice about the Tocco is just what a good looking phone it is. It’s tiny for one thing – just 98.4mm x 55mm x 11.6mm in size, and weighing only 100.6g. The front panel is taken up entirely with a large 2.8 inch screen with just three buttons at the bottom for accepting calls and quick access to the phone’s main menu.

On the back is the obligatory camera, which in the Tocco’s case, is 5 megapixels in size. On the back, you can slot either a silver battery cover, or a silver and leather screen protector, with the leather part wrapping round over the front to cover the screen.

This is a nice touch, as it means you don’t have to worry about buying an external screen protector.

There’s the usual array of buttons and microSD card slots scattered around the edge of the phone, but let’s face it, it’s not the outside we’re interested in – it’s what’s going on on the inside that’s where all the fun is!

Samsung Tocco’s user interface

Touchscreen phones need fancy user interfaces, and the Tocco’s is no exception. Once you switch it on, you’re presented with a desktop with icons that can be dragged around with your finger. On the left of the screen is a small strip with other icons on. These can be dragged onto the desktop, from where the application they represent can be launched. You can also scroll up and down the icon strip using your finger, which is very iPhoney and a nice touch.

The user interface is a little jittery at times – it certainly doesn’t flow as smoothly as the iPhone’s – but it’s pleasing to use, and certainly doesn’t get in your way.

When you launch an application, everything’s nicely presented and intuitive to use. In fact, it’s so intuitive, I was able to use the whole phone without looking at the instruction manual once.

Being able to touch the screen to access menu items is just so much more natural than button pushing, and being able to overlay icons on top of the screen means you’re not forever wading through long complicated menu hierarchies.

The only downside is text entry, which is always a nightmare for mobile phones. Sure you get the virtual keyboard overlaid on the touchscreen, and Samsung provide a haptic feature that makes the phone vibrate whenever you successfully touch a virtual button.

However, the keyboard isn’t QWERTY – it’s a simple numeric keypad, which is difficult enough to type words on when it’s a real physical keyboard, but it’s a nightmare when it’s a virtual one.

Worse, the haptic feature is a bit pointless. The phone buzzes softly whenever you hit a button, but only after the screen has changed, which pretty much gives you a decent enough clue that you’ve hit the button anyway!

I did suspect this might just be a feature for a feature’s sake, and I’m not wrong. It’s an interesting approach, and it works well on the Wii, but haptics on the Tocco jus isn’t necessary.

Samsung Tocco Camera

The Samsung tocco’s camera is a 5 megapixel unit with a whole host of features, including auto-focus, face detection, anti-shake and a load of different scene modes

Taking photos is easy, and there’s a range of things you can do with the pics once you’ve taken them, from emailing them to your friends, to uploading them to the web. The touchscreen makes using the camera a snip, as the icons to adjust its settings appear overlaid on top of the camera’s image whenever you touch the screen.

This makes changing white balance, for example, or flash mode, or whatever setting you’re trying to alter, both easy and quick, which is a real boon when trying to capture the perfect shot.

The only downside is the speed at which a picture is taken. From pressing the camera's shutter to the picture actually being taken takes around 3 seconds, which might as well be 100 years if you've got a subject that's moving.

The resultant picture quality's good, though, once you've actually taken a photo, which I guess is the main thing. Plus, with anti-shake, face detection, white balance adjustment, panoramic shot mode and the ability to change ISO levels, the Tocco's camera lets you play around with its settings to your heart's content in search of the perfect shot.

It's just a shame it takes so damn long to take the photo in the first place!

Connectivity

The Tocco isn’t meant to be one of those all-singing all-dancing phones like the Nokia N96, and so you wouldn’t expect it to come with all the features of a super-computer.

And indeed it is missing one or two features that are pretty much becoming essential in most mobile phones these days. Specifically, there’s no WiFi and there’s no GPS. The Tocco isn’t alone in this, though- most phones at this price point have to sacrifice some feature or other, and WiFi and GPS haven’t yet made it to the list of people’s essential features (although, for some odd reason, extremely poor video recording seems to have!)

Fortunately, the Tocco makes up for this with support for HSDPA, which at least means that your data downloads at a nippy 7.2Mbps. Just make sure you don’t pay by the byte on your data plan!

Applications

The Tocco comes blessed with Java, but this doesn’t mean it comes blessed with games. In fact, it comes with just one – a piss poor puzzle game called Photo Puzzle that’s so bad, it doesn’t deserve any more words wasted on its wretched carcass!

It’s not helped by the fact that the screen’s resolution (240 x 320) and number of colours (256,000) are pretty weak, meaning you get horrible banding whenever a gradient fill is used, just like you used to in the days of 16 bit computing!

In an age when other manufacturers have no problem throwing in screens capable of displaying 16 million colours in near VGA resolutions, you’d think Samsung could at least try and keep up.

As far as other applications are concerned, you get your usual array of calendars, phonebook, alarms and MP3 player, each of which is easy to use, but won’t exactly set the world on fire.

Samsung Tocco Specification

The Samsung Tocco comes with the following list of features:

Summary

The Samsung Tocco is a great little designer phone overall, but with one or two flaws. On the plus side, it’s super slim, looks great, has a good user interface with a responsive touchscreen, and comes with a good set of features. On the downside, text entry is difficult, the screen’s picture quality isn’t great, and the applications are pretty basic, meaning you’ll get bored of using them pretty quickly.

Overall, though, and given its price, the Tocco is an extremely good phone, and is a great alternative to the traditional keypad-based phones that dominate the mid-range sector.

If you’re looking for a reasonably cheap, stylish, well featured phone that offers something just that little bit different from the rest, give the Samsung Tocco a go.

I give it 8/10.

You can buy the Samsung Tocco now from Expansys from just £289 Pay As You Go.

It was even bolder when you consider that the Omnia is being pitched as a direct iPhone rival; yes, not just any old touchscreen phone, but what many are considering to be a touchscreen phone that's actually better than the iPhone in many ways.

Whether that's the case or not, we won't know until Samsung actually launches the Omnia, but fortunately we won't have too long to late. According to my sources, it should be released either next week or the week after, and I'm hopefully going to be getting my hands on it some weeks after that.

In the meantime, read on for more details and pictures of the Samsung Omnia i900.

Samsung Omnia i900 overview

So what makes the Omnia so great? Isn't is just like any other touchscreen phone?

Not quite. True, you do get all the usual features of a high-end smartphone: camera, video recorder, HSDPA, WiFi and GPS, all of which we've become rather blase about.

But it's the quality and high specification of the features that Samsung's managed to cram in, combined with some nifty new touches of its own that makes the Omnia stand out.

The Omnia's camera

For example, the Omnia's camera is 5 megapixels, compared with the iPhone's 2 megapixels and the Nokia E90's 3.2 megapixels.

Where the iPhone supports standard 3G (which will transfer data tat around 384kbps), the Omnia supports HSDPA at up to 7.2Mbps.

Even the E90 only supports 3.6Mbps HSDPA.

Better still, the Omnia will seamlessly switch from HSDPA to Wi-Fi and back again when you move into and out of a Wi-Fi hotspot, meaning you'll always be connected without having to manually reconnect.

Haptic keyboard

Then there's the user interface. The iPhone comes with a virtual touch- screen keyboard that takes a bit of getting used to.

The Omnia also comes with a virtual touchscreen, but it uses Samsung's haptics technology, which means that you get physical feedback whenever your finger passes over a key on the touchscreen, making the whole process of text entry much more natural. How well this works we'll have to see, but I should have a full report for you soon.

Autorotation

Like the iPhone, the Omnia also features autorotation, which rotates the screen between landscape and portrait modes according to whether the phone is being held vertically or horizontally. Whereas the iPhone uses an accelerometer to achieve this, though, the Omnia relies on its camera to determine its orientation. Not only is this a nifty approach in its own right, it also saves on batter power and compents, as you don't need any extra hardware for it to work - it's all achieved with software.

Multimedia and Web integration

The Omnia supports a wide range of multimedia Codecs, enabling you to view music and listen to tunes encoded in many different formats. There's also integration with YouTube and Facebook, letting you upload your pics and videos at the touch of a button. With its GPS functionality, your pictures can also be geo-coded, so you can identify them by location and by date.

...and much, much more!

 

As if all that wasn't enough, the Omnia comes with a huge amount of memory (8GB or 16GB depending on the model you choose), and a battery life that's double its nearest competitors. Better still, unlike the iPhone, you can actually remove the battery and buy another one if it ever fails, whereas the iPhone's battery is sealed in. Once the iPhone's battery goes, so does the phone itself, never again to work.

Not so the Omnia, as you slap in a replacement battery (you know, like you'd expect to with any other phone! Forgive the sarcasm, but this is one things that really annoys me with the iPhone).

As it's based on Windows Mobile, you also get mobile version of Microsoft Office, letting you view and edit Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint documents. This does also mean you get Microsoft's Mobile Internet Explorer, but you can't have everything!

Samsung Omnia i900 reviews

• DialAPhone currently have a good review of the Samsung Omnia i900, and are preparing to sell it shortly.
• Phones4U are also gearing up to sell the Samsung Omnia, and have a great promotional video of it on show.
• Finally, watch this space, as I should be getting my hands on one for a thorough testing real soon!

Not content with the 5 megapixels of the Nokia powerhouses, the INNOV8 i8510 features a huge 8 megapixel camera as well as a stunning 2.9" 16 million colour QVGA screen and a barrel load of multimedia features that sister-site MediaMentalism explores in greater detail.

Find out what's inside the Samsung INNOV8 i8510 after the jump.

You can tell Samsung are serious about the INNOV8 i8510 as they've given it a nifty new name. No more ridiculously long (and instantly forgettable) names for their phones, Samsung are now in the business of building brands, at least with their higher end models.

And higher-end the INNOV8 most certainly is. Check this out for a feature set:

• 8 megapixel autofocus camera
• Dual power LED flash for better night-time shots
• 3D sound
• 16 million colour 2.9" QVGA screen
• 7.2Mbps HSDPA
• Bluetooth 2.0
• Wi-Fi
• GPS
• TV-Out
• Support for WMA, H.264 (MP4) and DivX video formats
• 16GB of memory, expandable to 32GB
• 3D graphics chip
• Optical mouse
• DLNA compatible

These last two features are particularly interesting. An optical mouse on a phone? Why would you need that? Well, the answer might come from its support for the DLNA standard. DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) is technology based on UPnP that enables a DLNA-equipped device to share its media with another DLNA equipped device. With support for DivX, an extremely popular digital video format, coupled 16GB of memory, it would be easy for the INNOV8 to connect wirelessly to a DLNA-equipped TV and stream its video onto the TV, with the optical mouse controlling the video playback.

In short, the INNOV8 really would be a multimedia computer, or at least the mobile controller of your media library. Plus, with its huge 8 megapixel camera and superb connectivity options, the INNOV8 should be capable of taking on any high end phone that's released in the next year.

And if you were worried about the looks of the INNOV8 being a bit, well, conservative, just check out the nifty new S60-based user interface that the INNOV8 has. Dark, minimalist and deeply sexy. This is one phone we'll be keeping a close eye on!
