1. You can do TV-OUT afaik with the D2 need an external adapter.
2. You can buy an 8gb card for like £10-15 quid.
3. Not so sure about that.
4. Case hmm ok 5800 comes with one but not a biggie
5. 5800 dunno where you are getting your prices from but you can get the 5800 for £199 if you buy it PAYG T-Mobile with £10 credit from Carphone Warehouse. The D2 costs £399 sim free. I managed to get mine for £380 with a voucher at play.com
6. LED Flash on Nokia, each to their own but in normal light the D2 seems to take good shots from what I've seen.
7. D2's multimedia functions look good.

But if price is your concern the 5800 isn't too bad but heard it's got questionable build quality and plus it's symbian. I've tried the thing out in the shop looks neat but to be honest wasn't that impressive. Couldn't even figure out how to type in a URL in the browser once I launched it that's how confusing it was :P

also forgetting that 5800

-worse and smaller display
-feels very cheap with its flimsy plastic not like their E series phones
-worse camera
-toy operating system that is less usufl than windows mobile 2002
-much slower cpu and less memory
-primitive interface that is light years behind V1 of touchflo


d2 is only 342 quids from clove

I have a Nokia 5800. The single most limiting thing about it is the Symbian S60, it is total crap. Pig slow & everything buried deep in the menu system. I was going to use it as temporary replacement for my TD1 while I await the TD2 but I tried hard to like it but I always went back to the TD1.

There are a few good points to the 5800 though, most notably being flash support (c'mon HTC get your act together) & BBC iPlayer support was brilliant (although picture quality was less than stellar).

agree i no wm and d2 are way better wat i saying is 5800 has many more things for a cheaper rate so htc r ripping us of

The TD2 does a great job on BBC iplayer if you tweak the custom user agent in Opera
