I have had the N5800xm for a year now. After installing the firmware 31.xx about 6 months ago and being thrilled with it, I have now recently changed to FW release 50.xx. The device now has more touchscreen functions, and it reacts even faster than before!
The device has never crashed on me again (very rarely before).
The web browser is now mature and can be used well. The magnifying glass function and automatic full screen functionality are very useful and well thought out.
The input settings for vertical and horizontal are now saved independently.
The maps are now available for free download worldwide. I tried this out during my holidays in Brazil. It is true that the maps are not completely up to date, some/several streets are wrong, detours are sometimes indispensable. But it navigated me several times and finally always to the right destination, sometimes "blind", even at night. A huge advantage!
I also had a TomTom Bluetooth GPS receiver with me, which I successfully linked to the mobile phone. In some cases, it found the position a little better and more accurately than the internal GPS receiver. However, these are nuances. Note The GPS settings can be set - somewhat confusingly and well hidden - under Settings - Phone - Applications - Navigation (i.e. not after starting the navigation software in the settings of the program).
The sound of the device is the best I've heard since I've had mobile phones. The XM chip is simply super! The speakers are well balanced. When you are lying in a hammock with the device above your chest, the stereo sound is really great and relaxing.
I also recommend the device because it has no moving wear parts.

Owned the device since last week. I previously had the E71 plus Touch devices from HTC. I like the device because it's not such a huge thing. I want to take the device with me....
Looks smart, set up was hassle free, as was sharing data with PC. NO, it's not an iPhone. It's certainly in a different league. But it's good for me, especially for texting I find the large Qwerty keyboard practical. And I have big fingers. The camera is good for snapshots, and I was pleasantly surprised by the video mode. The only thing that annoyed me was the OVI player that I installed on the PC....which messed up all the album covers from my collection. Great price for a great device.I've had the phone for 2 months now. - Camera (High ...
I've had the phone for 2 months now.
- Camera: High noise, only usable in very good light conditions.
- Menu navigation: Slow and rather cumbersome and unmanageable. I actually have rather fine hands, but I find the bar for scrolling too small and much too fast (finding a name with it is a game of patience).

I have had the 5800 for about 5 months now, so here's what I can say:
Touchscreen: ***
- The touchscreen is poorly implemented from my point of view. Especially when writing with the full Quertz keyboard, after 5 months I still can't manage to write a text message without making mistakes, i.e. for people with normal fingers this is a bad solution. However, the handwriting recognition works relatively well.
- It also has its problems with tilting, i.e. with changing the browser or the picture gallery.
Browser: *
- The browser crashes regularly. After 20 minutes of surfing, it suddenly disappears.
- I also find the browser tedious when entering passwords.
Overall: **
The phone has already reached its limit in terms of haptics, it feels cheap and crunches when you press it a little. The stylus also slips out of the phone. At the beginning, I had the feeling that this was a good solution, but I was wrong.
Another problem is that the complete phone sometimes hangs when you block or hang up a phone call, which is just tedious.
What I personally still find bad is the Nokia menu, if you are used to others (Sony Ericsson), it is almost impossible to get used to. However, that is my opinion.
Conclusion:
I would definitely not buy the phone again.
