Nokia 5800 XpressMusic

The Symbian strikes back! With pressure now coming not only from Apple side, but also from Android, Nokia has to move fast before losing the ongoing trend in the mobile market these days: touch screen smartphone.

Why did I mentioned Symbian, instead of Nokia at the beginning line there? Because what Nokia has been waiting for all these times before introduce a touch screen product, was to wait until Symbian platform is prep & ready to power up a full touch screen powered device for Nokia. The wait is now over, when Nokia finally announced officially Nokia 5800 XpressMusic yesterday at London & Singapore.

Here's the quick rundown on the specs inside this baby with latest installment of Symbian platform that has reached the 5th generation:
  • 3.2" touch screen with 640x360 pixels resolution
  • 3.2MP camera Autofocus Shooter for VGA video at 30fps
  • Quad-band GSM up to HSDPA
  • WiFi
  • GPS
  • 3.5mm audio jack
  • TV out
  • microSD slot (comes with 8GB microSD card)
  • Comes With Music service

Will soon available at this quarter 2008 in black, blue and red colors. There will be three versions: with North American HSDPA, with European HSDPA and GSM only; and the price will be around 279 EURO (US$390).
