Yes, Ewan's heading off for a three week tour of the USA (Twitter feed here), taking in social media and gaming events. To try and add a little Symbian spice to proceedings, we insisted he take the Nokia 5800 with him, to really try it out 'on the road'. This is the third of his regular video reports, letting us know how he's getting on with S60 5th Edition and the 5800. Embedded below is part 3 of this series, in which he chats about connectivity, the touch interface generally, the contact bar homescreen and handwriting and T9 text input.

My 5800 doesn't like might bad handwriting either 😊 I upgraded mine to V2 ROM the other night and with the improved screen response I have found the mini keyboard to be usable enough most of the time, I have even put my E71 to one side for a few days to give it a proper go.

Ewan packs a lot of good info in his report, but pleeez, Ewan, slow down so we can follow more of what you're saying. Thanks!
