As expected, just a few days after the released of Nokia 5800 XpressMusic  which is dubbed by some as the ultimate iphone killer; Hundreds of websites came up with feature by feature comparison of these two phones.

Here are tidbits of these comparisons that we  have gathered from some of  these websites.

1. Cost

“…it looks like the Nokia 5800 is a potential winner, more likely to become a mass market phone rather than the iPhone, the latter being much more expensive and not available without a contract in certain markets like the US…”

2. Design

“…Nokia 5800 looks good, but it lacks that killer iPhone looks.”

“The user interface of iPhone looks much better than Nokia’s solution, making a vast use of animations. Nokia can’t offer anything comparable, keeping to a very modest level of aesthetics. Likewise, iPhone has a substantially better performance, all the menus and windows pop up almost instantly. On the other hand, the OS X that powers iPhone will never be able to compete with S60 in the variety of available third-party applications. Also, with iPhone you aren’t going to get such powers as handwritten input (the Tube has a stylus for that) and OCR support, copy and paste text actions, all of this available on Nokia 5800 Tube.” -

3. Video

“Apple rarely disappoints consumers with their innovative and unique products, but the absence of video capability on the iPhone is one where they fell flat.  If you are considering either of these phones for their video capability, though Nokia 5800 wins out hands down.”

“The 5800 XpressMusic certainly looks like an iPhone, and it matches its features in many areas (though not all of them: It’s got a less sophisticated, single-touch screen, albeit one with more pixels). And it’s got some of the features which some people wish the iPhone had, including a fancier camera that has a flash and can record video, voice dialing, and even an FM radio.”

4. Messaging

“Iphone: It does not support message forwarding, multiple SMS deletion, sending SMS to multiple recipients and multimedia messages (MMS).
Nokia 5800: All the above is possible plus it has MMS ver 1.3, message size upto 600kb, and automatic resizing of Images for MMS.”

5. Screen

The Iphone has 3.5” screen while Nokia 5800 has 3.2” but the
resolution of 5800 is far more superior to Iphone.

Resolution:
Iphone: 480 by 320
Nokia 5800: 640 by 360

Other Features

“Nokia 5800 Xpressmusic can sync with stereo Bluetooth or in-car Bluetooth handsfree, which again Apple iPhone cannot.

Nokia’s touch phone supports Bluetooth version 2.0 with A2DP and AVRCP. iPhone lacks A2DP on Bluetooth. A2DP audio devices, such as stereo Bluetooth headsets, offer enhances listening quality.

Also, iPhone doesn’t support file sharing feature including MP3, images and video files via Bluetooth.” -
