After used Tube for a week, these are what I get, comparison to my old N73Me.
ProsBig Screen
GPS/AGPS (mine lock within a minute)
Support bigger memory card
Nice lock key
Good speaker
Less lag than my N73Me, memory card 80% full still ok
Full screen wallpaper
Support MPEG4 with 640x360 resolution, superb image quality
Camera open faster
Nice media bar function
ConsPhysicallyLow-built quality
-I can see the gap at the front cover and sometime squeaking when press screen.
USB port not standard,
-I need to connect another cable just to connect 5800, why don't they use normal mini usb?
No cover for camera
Sim card hard to remove, need to remove battery
Firmware (hope will fix in the next update)
Input type in Contact Book search function is terrible
- If can change the input is ok.
Marking file not good
-I had to click click/press more than 2 times just to mark other file
Camera quality lower than N73Me
-Hope can improve in firmware update
Although it support H264, but with very low setting and resolution.
-Negligable as MPEG4 is already sufficient.
Hope the short cut in the media bar can be change.
-Some short cut I will never use.
Tips:1.Application (games etc.) best install from phone (copy to phone), not through PC Suite.
2.Use Mass Storage mode for faster file transfering
3.Off GPS setting Setting->Phone-->Application Setting-->Positioning-->Positioning Method--> untick Assisted GPS and Bluetooth GPS
4.Don't run more than 2 applications at the background
- ex. Garmin and Media Player. My phone will hang and have to restart when I open gamin with music played at the background. specially when I click remote (headphone) to skip song. In other cases, phone will become lag when open to many application.
That's all for now.

About that search contact thing, I think it makes sense.
You see, when you haven't put a single letter in to search a contact, the screen is full of letters. Press one initial letter for the name and the phone will automatically selects the names that corresponds to that letter.
And then at the same time the phone looks at these names and sees all the letters that comes next in each name. Therefore in order to not crowd the screen, the phone only shows the next logical choice of letters.
For example, I have names that starts with Ab, Aj, Al, Am, An, As, and Az. So when I press on a, every other letters disappear except for B, J, L, M, N, S and Z. It helps looking for a contact faster and you'll notice straight away when you don't have a certain contact.
