0 Comments What cellphone to get? iPhone vs Nokia 5800

Currently I’ve had the same Nokia 6280 for a long long time now, almost 2 and a 1/2 years I think and the reason in the delay in getting a new one is because of my new baby I’m trying to release to the world – AllThingsMobile.co.za a site that compares cellphone contracts and broadband prices from South African providers.

Currently I’ve always followed the hype about the iPhone and the massive amount of Applications available to download from its App Center but I’ve always been unsure.

This iPhone is a phone that came out a long time ago, granted the iPhone 3G is a bit newer but still it only has a 2MP camera – my dam brick of Nokia has that. When ever I get a new phone I always wonder about what my next phone will be like and what cool features it will have, I don’t want to move sideways… though moving from a Nokia 6280 to an iPhone is not quite sideways.

Mean while Nokia released the 5800 XpressMusic at the beginning of this year I think and boomed with over a million orders for in the UK pretty quickly, the key for me with this phone is that its a lot cheaper than the iPhone with very similar features

I was going to go with the iPhone but then back in March the 8GB version ran out after the prices had dropped drastically on it… good news its now back in stock if you want it. In the mean time the Nokia 5800 has launched and is currently the most popular phone on AllThingsMobile which must mean something if thats what everyone is looking for.

The Nokia 5800 has 8GB of memory which matches the 8GB iPhone and also this year Nokia has released the Ovi store which is Nokia’s own little App Store. I think with the amount of Nokia users in the world there are going to be some pretty nifty apps soon, maybe I should start developing some apps and make some quick cash – who said you couldn’t make quick cash anyway!
