Apparently it did so well that they were all gone cause I ended up getting a Galaxy S5 after that lol.

    AS AN ACTUAL OWNER of a Nokia 5800 XpressMusic - I can tell you this: It's probably the most solid user experience I've ever had with any phone. It was at that weird "almost smartphone" junction - just like if you pick up the original LG and Apple etc. phones - today they feel a bit clunky and not really as smart-phone as you might remember them. The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic had some quirks - name a few menus which functioned totally differently which made it a real hassle to maneuver sometimes, and there was some limitations to the SymbianOS or whatever it was called. But at the time compared to the competitors ESPECIALLY at the pricepoint it did some stuff REALLY well!
    1: It shot some pretty good video and pictures. How do I remember this? Well I have a very specific example: I was going to a computer convention in 2019 where part of the theme was "old tech". I brought a 2004 laptop which I cleaned first. Going through it I though a video on it was shot with my 1500$ Sony camera when I opened in a window taking up about 60% of my screen - however after looking closer full screen it was ACTUALLY shot on the Nokia. That should tell you that the quality of it - for a phone from 2008 - was pretty damn decent. I will note that it was a video of being snowed in with a lot of light - which gave the optics on it good conditions - but still - it was not bad at all.
    2: As the name would imply - it was a really good MP3 player... not that this is anything special - but it lived up to it's name and I continued using it as an MP3 player for years after getting a new phone.
    3: It was INSANELY well built. I did NOT treat it well - and I found this out when getting new phones since I destroyed some of them way too quick treating them like they were my Nokia 5800 XpressMusic - making me go back to it as a temporary phone.
    4: Reception. Seriously this phone was rock solid when it comes to doing the most important thing - making calls. Even in places where my friends phones had 0 bars, mine had good connection.
    5: It still works... It's a 14 year old phone and it still works. Sure it can not really connect to anything but the basic net at this point - however that's fine for being an emergency phone on my boat. You can still order new batteries for it - so it's still going strong.
    .................. As someone who had (Well my bought it for my GF at the time - but had access to at least) an N-Gage .... Screw the N-Gage... what an absolute piece of crap!

    My first ever smart phone was a Motorola Flip Out, I made my parents take it back to the store and get me a “dumb” phone with a web browser on it. The Flip Out was so under-powered and janky that I couldn’t STAND to use it. I had an iPod Touch 4th Gen at that point and compared to the iPod that phone felt like I was using a computer from the 90s.
