Hello,
You can buy phones from Nokia for trial and return them within 14 days for a
refund under the Distance Selling Regulations. Of course, you will be bound
by the Terms & Conditions of sale whilst the goods are in your possession,
including your responsibility to take care of the goods.
So, I simply buy the 5800 for £195 and the N97 for £499, try them, decide
which one I want (with your help that's greatly appreciated), return them
and then buy the one I finally want elsewhere with a reduced price and
hopefully cashback as well. I don't have easy access to a Nokia store, and
really don't find it easy to traipse around from one shop to another looking
at them in person, so it's a nice way of doing things. I've done the same
for the iPhone 4 which is due to arrive within the next 10 days. Granted,
it locks up the best part of £1300 but it also allows me to play with them
and really test them before committing to a purchase, without tying me in to
the vendors at the same time.
HTH.

Interesting!!!! How do you get phones from Nokia on trial?!!! i have the
N97 Mini which is both touch screen and has a physical keypad. I cannot
operate the touch screen in bright sunlight, no way without using my
residual vision so it is not used much out and about, no more texting like I
always did yet I find it hard to go back to one of the others, e71 or e72
and just like the Mini. Of course at home or in dark environments I can use
the touch screen and the physical keypad at any time.

Hello,
I realise this is something which has probably been discussed on here many
times, but I would nevertheless appreciate some of your collective thoughts.
I would like to get myself a touch phone, however following my disastrous
and short lived relationship with the Nokia X6 i am struggling to find
anything decent amongst the touch range.
I have been thinking of choosing either the Nokia 5800 or the Nokia N97 as
these seem to have the best feature sets out of all the Nokia phones I have
looked at on the web, and also they are very amenable to having their
firmware tweaked and modified, which is something I'm definitely into. If I
were to buy either of these phones, it would probably be from eBay, at a
reduced price, so that if I should inadvertently brick the phone beyond
repair, it would not be such a major loss. However, it would also be nice
to have a touch phone that I can just play with, and it might even become my
second everyday work phone.
I note that the N97 has a higher specification camera and a larger screen,
but I would be interested to know how the two phones compare in terms of
usability, both in terms of comfort and accessibility. Also, if you have
any comments or tips for either of these phones, I would be very grateful to
receive them.
I have ordered both of these phones from Nokia on trial, however they will
not be here for several days. I would like to have at least made a
tentative decision in my mind by the time they arrive, so I can then go
ahead and finally source the phone on which I eventually decide.
Thank you in advance for your help,
