Touchscreen War: Nokia 5800 Xpress Music Vs Blackberry Storm 9500

Under: BlackBerry, Nokia, Phone Debates Date: October 11th, 2008

Now this is interesting when it comes to two smartphones with touchscreens, so we thought what the hell lets have a war and the war is “Nokia 5800 Xpress Music Vs Blackberry Storm 9500”.

Now we are not going into the full specs here because all we want to know is, who will win the touchscreen war, displays nowadays is what it all about and how responsive the User Interface (UI), now lets have a brief look into the smartphones then you can decide who the winner is.

Shall we start with the Nokia 5800 Xpress Music, this handset has a 3.2-inch touchscreen with 640×360 pixel resolution, 16 million colors and 16:9 ratio which is pretty impressive, it uses the cool accelerometer sensor for auto-rotate plus has handwriting recognition and the user interface is pretty responsive indeed, so all in all pretty damn good.

Now we have the BlackBerry Storm 9500, now this smartphone has a 3.25-Inch TFT touchscreen, 65K colors/360 x 480 pixels and also has the accelerometer sensor for auto-rotate, this screen however has springs below the display which is the first in any phone; so pretty clever really. The Storm has an on-screen keyboard with SureType and Multi-tap technology, oh and not forgetting the light sensing screen.

So come on Phones Review readers “Which phones would you choose, the Nokia 5800 Xpress Music or the Blackberry Storm 9500?

    nokia express music isn’t ment to be a smart phone (from nokia itself) and hence why its so cheap and has the words “express music”

    I’ve never had other phone than a Nokia in my life, but this time would go for the Blackberry Storm!

    Definently the 5800 xpress, Nokia has been arround longer and knows how to make millions and millions of phones properly.

    I am in the process of replacing my 3rd Blackberry with a Nokia 5800. Dont think Blackberry products are very dependable and the phone software is vile.

    Guys, any of you said a word for comparison of two displays or UI!
    I have 5800, and not for a while tested BB Storm.
    BlackBerry input method is awesome!
    Typing numbers for call is more handily then Nokia.
