Bluetooth

The 5800 paired with regular and stereo headsets no sweat. The connection with each type of headsets was good, and we never experienced any hissing or disconnects. Music playback sounded good through stereo Bluetooth headsets. We were able to pair the 5800 with multiple different computers, but passing files back and forth was not supported.

Calendar

Like all Windows Mobile smartphones, you can sync your calendar with Outlook on your PC or an Exchange server. You can choose to view your calendar by week, month or agenda. The left soft key lets you swap between these views quickly. The right soft key gets you into the menu, where you can open new appointments, change the view, and configure the calendar application

Clock

The clock application is very basic. All you can really do is change the time zone and date/time itself. There are no options for viewing the clock in analog format, or changing the way it appears on your screen unless you alter the view of the entire Today screen.

Comm Manager

The 5800 has a connections manager program that lets you quickly access all the different on-board radios and adjust their settings. You can also set sync, volume and messaging settings from this screen. This would be a great shortcut to have located on the Today screen. Unfortunately it is located in the Start menu and you have to scroll to find it.

Doc Viewer

Because the 5800 is a Windows Smartphone, you can use the document viewer program to open Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Adobe PDFs. We were able to read and make edits to Word documents no problem. It's certainly not as effective as a regular computer, but making minor edits to a document from your mobile device certainly has its merits.
