This is my 3rd post on the 5800.
This time, let’s look at the different types of input methods on the 5800.
Basically there’s 4:
- Handwriting (suitable to be used if you are not writing English)
- Full qwerty keyboard (for 2 hands usage)
- Mini qwerty keyboard (it can be dragged to any part of the screen, suitable to be used if you are left handed)
- Numeric keypad (same like the typical phone keypad… good for.. erm.. driving? LOL)
Here’s a video of the different types of input methods.

Nice work with the Nokia 5800 updates, pretty comprehensive stuff here.
Quck Qs…
1. How fast does it get smudges?
2. Scratch resistance? Easiest way of scrathing the screen or any other part.
Thanks.

@smashpop,
If it scratches easily, this is very very serious, haven’t seen any sites testing this properly.
Please post some long term scratch testing results when you get the chance.
Thanks
