First touch screen phone from Nokia - Nokia 5800 XpressMusic

Nokia officially joins the likes of Apple, Samsung, HTC and LG in the touchscreen mobile phone biz when they finally unveiled the much-talked-about Nokia 5800 XpressMusic phone. The phone features a 3.2" (360 x 640) touch screen, WLAN and 3G connectivity, a 3.2 megapixel auto-focus camera, integrated A-GPS, accelerometer, proximity sensor, 8GB memory for up to 6000 tracks, support for all main digital music formats, and a 3.5mm jack.

When it comes to music phones, people all over the world want a device that is a great music experience - with more memory, loud and powerful speakers, easy synchronization - and must still work well as a mobile phone with direct access to important contacts and content. The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic delivers on all counts and allows consumers to access and share content.

The handset features a 3.2-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss lens. With a single touch, images or videos can be shared via websites such as Flickr or Facebook. The layout of icons and access to the main functions works well and Nokia is very keen on its innovative “Media Bar” - a drop-down menu that provides direct access to the phone’s myriad music and entertainment features.

One of the biggest features is Nokia’s ground-breaking Comes With Music feature, which enables people to buy a Nokia device with a year of unlimited access to tracks from the Nokia Music Store. Once the year is complete, customers can keep all their music.
