Hey Nic, thanks for making your way down to the press event, for coffee in the evening, AND the music party! =)

Maybe I should stick to my N82 after learning about it’s capabilities. Still, it should be a nice phone to compare with the jesusphone…

@Liyi - thanks for the invite!
@Yusry - were you expecting more? Maybe you can share what you were expecting that you didn’t see in the phone?

I was looking for a touchscreen with 5mp camera and Xenon flash (hint: Viewty)
Well, I think the XM5800 has good mid-range features. Hopefully Nokia release more cooler features for a touchscreen phones. No physical buttons might be a problem for playing games though.
I don’t think this phone will ever support Ngage 2 games properly. I could be wrong though.

On another note: this is not even a N-series phone to begin with. My bad.
I was expecting a more powerful Symbian, with more processor and RAM.

To make a killer phone these days one needs killer apps, and Steve Jobs had won with iTunes app store although his phone had “only” 2Mpixel camera and no MMS, etc…
Nokia is very late with their Ovi store, and more and more Nokia fans are migrating gradually to iPhone as their contracts with operators expire.
So is the case with application developers…
