The Nokia Phone Blog — ... S60 touch interface. “The 5800 seems like a solid mid-level touch phone for music—especially if Comes With Music pans out as a cool service. But don’t plan on using this thing for heavy emailing or texting—you’ll probably be using T9 text entry with the touch dialpad or the stylus for most of your text entry unless you have the patience of a monk, which kind of defeats the point for an all-touch device these days.” - Gizmodo “The revolution is already here and its name is ...
