Oh, maan... I still remember my 5800, I loved that phone to pieces... Excellent speaker system for the time (it was genuinely stereo and had a bit of meat on the sound, too!), my first touchscreen (which was a bit frustrating due to my thick logs, but worked perfectly with the stylus), and it was also my very first experience with multiplayer on a phone! Used to play that default racing game with a year mate in Uni, and it was very fun! And the OS was as an OS should be: so smooth as to not even register with the user!

Edit: oh, and the full QWERTY was very nice, although I was fresh off the keypad, so it was a bit awkward.

    The 5800 was a nice phone, but for me the king of Symbian phones was the E7, I am still pissed mine got stolen ):

    Loved the fold out keyboard, it made the phone absolutely amazing, I remember running Putty Touch on my E7, sshing into a friend's server to access irssi and go on IRC.

    Looked like such a hacker, and felt badass.

    That was my Goal Phone, yes! Either that, or the N8, but the 5800 was the only thing I could afford at the time:))

    They were really nice phones, properly into "smartphones" by that point - the 5800 was more like a... clever phone:))

    Oh, nooo!:( I'm so sorry, that's how I lost my 5800, too! Got mugged at night, ffs..

    I used my first paycheck to buy myself an E7, less than a year later it was stolen ):

    It was a gorgeous phone but DAMN slippery!

    Jeesus, that genuinely sounds painful!:( I'm very sorry I honestly don't know what to say... I mean, I understand it's just A Thing™, but some things are more than just "things"...

    Hehe, I was really sad when it happened, but it was more than a decade ago (:

    I then ran a Nokia 300/Nokia E72 combo for a while, and then a Nokia E72 for a few years untill I got an iPhone 5S
