The Nokia 5800

Being the newest Nokia member in my family, the Nokia 5800 has already impressed me with thousands of new features.

I was a N95 8GB user and I can say with confidence that N95 8GB was the best phone ever made. I wrote lots of things about N95 8GB because I was in love with the superior craftsmanship and the features bundled with S60 platform. 

It has only been four days that I have started to spend time with the "TUBE" (5800) but I think the first things I noticed was the ease of use via touch interface. I never was a fan of touchscreen devices, I use Nokia N810 Internet Tablet, but I barely touch the screen there.. The physical keys always works better for me. But Nokia 5800 really impressed me with the ease of use via touchscreen.

Not only I don't mind not to have physical keys, I actually started to find the touchless interface on N95 8GB a little inconvenient. I am really impressed with the responsiveness of the TUBE! I love that the lights go off and the screen locks at the exact second I pull the "KEY LOCK" slider.

One other GREAT feature is the REMOTE LOCK! Remote Lock can be found under the security settings on the 5800, you basicly input a txt message, for example: "lockyourself" and whenever the phone receives the msg "lockyourself" from any number it basicly locks itself and the memory card with your predefined passcode. it is a MUST for a mobile device that carries personal data. I always thought a mobile phone must have biometric fingerprint reader for security purposes. But REMOTE LOCK could really be a substitute for the fingerprint protection.
