For hardcore smser who are used to normal keypad entry, yes. But if u get use to the mini qwerty, actually u can type quite fast. Practice makes perfect. The virtual keypad honestly speaking, not really that ez to use. Laggy ? Faster symbian phone that i hav ever used. VERY VERY VERY worth to buy. The thread says it all. 

Really can type without looking with alphanumeric keypad ? If so, i also wanna practise liao 

My typo error everytime also coz my the pressure. Meaning tat sometimes i do press the correct button, but then there's no input. 

Nope. Dun use alphanumeric keypad. Use qwerty.    Great phone. U will regret if u never buy it 

anyone success? i receive caption error everytime submitting the ime..

whaddya expect? its a RM1.3k phone lol not RM3k phone. its still cool with all the features stuffed into it

been using for almost 3 weeks ad. i dont seem to see scratches on my phone

u forgot one more thing, the 3.2 inch screen on the 5800 which is dam good for internet browsing and watching movies.

and like aspire2oo6 said, no point to keep asking for another half a year. no phones are perfect, even if u get a RM3000 phone there will still be things that 5800 can do and the other cant.

its just up to ur preference, for me i'd take 5800 cos its price, its screen and the virtual qwerty

sometimes in life, u just gotta take a chance and go out for it, or u will nv know hehe.
