Clash of the Nokia 5800 Blue and Red xpress music phones


We had a chance to play with both the Blue and Red variants of the hugely popular Nokia 5800 XpressMusic

On the left is the blue and on the right is red ..

Both the displays are set to full brightness ..

The blue seems seems to be more rich in colors compared to the red phone .. don’t know if its a faulty display ..

I love the display of the 5800 .. looks awesome – one of the best i have seen in any nokia phone

The two are identical in size and built .. only few minor diffences ..

  • Different firmware for each color – 11.0.008.blue.01 and 11.0.008.red.01
  • Rear panel cover is unique
  • side streaks are unique
  • default wallpapers and themes are unique

I personally prefer the red one ..

We unboxed the blue one last month
