Calling with the 5800 is somewhat simplified for a smartphone because it has a separate numeric keypad on the front face, rather than have one buried in with a full QWERTY keyboard. Dialing calls is simple, and the send key lets you open a list of all your recent calls easily. With the recent calls opened, you can use the left and right soft keys to save the call or open the menu, which lets you call the highlighted number, send a text message or change the view of the calls.

Once you are in a call, the left soft key becomes a mute button, and the right soft key becomes a menu button, which lets you do various things during the call, such as select the speakerphone. There is a dedicated speakerphone button on the full QWERTY keyboard of the 5800, but it is not accessible with the phone closed.

The contacts database syncs seamlessly with Outlook and will hold reams of information about each contact. You can stuff your database with multiple email addresses, phone numbers, and IM screen names, as well as two addresses and lots of personal information, such as birthdays, anniversaries and kids' names.

When scrolling through existing contacts, the left soft key lets you add new ones, and the right soft key lets you select from a list of actions to perform when you have a contact highlighted, including altering the view and filtering your contacts. Opening a contact who is already saved presents you with a few options on that contact's home screen, including call their mobile/work/home numbers, send them an SMS, or view their address. You can also choose to edit that contact or delete them.
