Nokia 5800 has a full touch user interface that is optimized for one-hand use. Unlike the iPhone, this one has a tactile feedback wherein you’ll get the feel as if you’re touching physical keys/buttons. Just like the iPhone, it has a music player but it’s better because of its built-in speakers. Nokia 5800 is indeed a better imaging device than the iPhone since it has a 3.2 megapixel camera that uses Carl Zeiss Optics. In addition, this can record videos while the iPhone can’t. Nokia 5800′s browser has support for Flash. As of now, iPhone still does not have Flash support.
