I have never been fond of full touchscreen devices. I would love it if my N82 or the Nokia N95 had touchscreen - but not at the sacrifice of a real keyboard for text entry. A combination of both would be ideal. Granted - I haven't yet tried out the Nokia 5800, but if it's anything like the iPhone then it's not for me. However, I've been reading a few reviews around the web that some people - who actually thought they wouldn't like the text entry on the 5800 (like myself), think it's good and easy to use. I can't wait to get my hands on one, hopefully soon.
Check out this video by Mobile-Review.com which I found when browsing Daily Mobile. It shows a hands-on closeup view of the Nokia 5800 and it's text entry methods.

The media features - being able to actually touch the screen to use the controls, is what is really attracting me to the Nokia 5800. From the looks of it Nokia has done a great job implementing the S60 media features into a touch interface. Not to mention the screen looks beautiful and the sound quality seems crystal clear and loud. If the text input features are actually usable and useful, then it looks like the 5800 will be a huge winner.
What are your thoughts? Has Nokia nailed it on the head? Have any readers here got their hands on the Nokia 5800?
What's next?
