Nokia has implemented its first ever touchscreen mobile device Nokia 5800 XpressMusic. This image is leaked on 24th Sept on mobile.cz. It is a first touchscreen device made by Nokia based on newly Symbian Operating system Symbian S60 Taco 5.0 purposely created for touchscreen devices of Nokia. Formerly known as Nokia Tube, the first S60 handset to feature touchscreen technology will run on this new edition of the Symbian OS. Nobody had expected it's first appearance and specifications 'll get leaked before it's official announcement which is going to be announced on 2nd October.

Its is a well feature packed device with latest technologies such as GPS function through which you can take the help of maps to find your destiny, HSDPA through which you can surf the mobile internet faster upto 7.2 mbps based on 3.5G network which is 10 times faster than 3G, a huge 3.2 inch touchscreen with the exciting widescreen resolution of 640 x 360 pixels. It will has 3.2 megapixel autofocus camera to capture your amazing moments and can record at up to VGA resolution at 30 fps. It will come in 3.5mm audio jack, TV-out, microSD card slot, Quad Band GSM support just in 109 grams measured in 111 x 52 x 15.5mm. It will come with 8 GB card included with the retail package.

With only 7 days to go until the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic official annoncement you can bet we are just excited as you are to take a look at it. However we can't help ourselves but wonder why Nokia didn't come up with a high-end device as a pioneer for its new OS as it would have demonstrated its capabilities that much better.

dreamcatcher · 25-09-2008, 09:14 PM

Lets see how it performs. It will be launched in Q1 next year.

Btw...xperia and htc are in a different league. Symbian is most probablte to have stability issues with this one. Thats why they did not go all out for a high end.

**ico** · 25-09-2008, 09:23 PM

Nice and hope its not laggy.

BTW isn't this fone being termed as Nokia 5800 XpressMedia???

krates · 25-09-2008, 09:35 PM

its xpress media lol

it will be a mid end phone

after this another 5 mp touchscreen from nokia read somewhere

Hitboxx · 25-09-2008, 09:56 PM

25k? Isn't that a little preposterous? I think most music phones today fall in the mid-level category., you might as well even go ahead and say, high end/low end music phones? No such things..there are only music phones. It's like all(companies) know what to do, where to do, how to do, more like a levelled platform or saturation level if you may say so. Don't you think?

I expect it should be no more than 14k. Then again, my expectations are like dreams of a monkey.

Power UP · 25-09-2008, 09:58 PM

Wow for a mid range phone, the specs look fantastic

dreamcatcher · 25-09-2008, 10:03 PM

25k would be over the moon.Nokia would have to compete against the renoir. 8 mp touch from lg and also the xperia which shall come down to 30k by dec.

dude. see d specs carefully.. it is jst not a music phone announced by nokia. it will b d 1st ever touchphone frm nokia which is fully based on newly symbian os..n actually thru this phone they r presenting their new os.apart frm this it has got gps, 3.5g/hsdpa, 8gb onboard which fulfills d idial pda requirements..wil it b @ 14 k only??

Hitboxx · 25-09-2008, 11:19 PM

yeah dude. u apprntly missd d monkey n d dreams part..

anyways..i was speculating 14k to b d settling down price if u kno wht i mean..it can go ahead n debut at whtver price it wnts to..n besides if its a pda why slap it wth a music label instd of jst sayin its a pda pricd at 25k wch can play music..

dreamcatcher · 25-09-2008, 11:40 PM

If its 25k, trust me.It will be sealed before its born.

Power UP · 26-09-2008, 12:04 AM

Hahaha .......when both iphone and xperia can be priced above 30-35k, Nokia 5800 XpressMusic at 25k is too costly???? lol

krazzy · 26-09-2008, 12:15 AM

I don't why they added the music phone angle. Maybe because it is a competitor to the iPhone and the iPhone is basically a music phone.

As for the pricing, there is no way they can slot it below the N95 8gb. Actually now I am wondering where exactly are they gonna place it. Predicting this won't be easy. But one thing for sure. It won't be cheap. Then again, Nokia's other models like the N95 8gb and the N96 might see some major price drops to make room for this one.

And no it is not Xpress Media, but Xpress Music. Atleast as of yet, it is.

Compare the Xperia and this Xpress-whateva and compare. Is there anything to compare actually?? The Xperia beats it in every damn thing.

Hopefully Nokia has some real great technology running behind the screen, coz its a 3.2 inch screen and has a resolution of 640x480 while phones like XPERIA with a 3 inch screen has a vga resolution screen

Power UP · 26-09-2008, 12:47 AM

On second thought this is useless.....Xperia is the best phone in ur opinon, then good for u

Do i even need to comment on that??

And anyways, the Xperia is not really targetted to this segment of the market. The Samsung pixon and the lg renoir shall take care of that.

xperia looks to be a fantastic wm phone ..

this looks good .. should be around 20k cos its mid end .. read somewhere that they are coming with 8mp touchscreen flagship ..

i dont thing all those 8mp cams are needed .. all we need is better optics, sensors with improved image processing algorithms , better low light performance, stereo sound in video recordings, and recording in divx/xvid format , and combination of n82 xenon for photos and n85 dual led flash for videos .. that is enough for an awesome camera phone ..

right now i am using n95 8gb ..only thing missed is xenon flash of n82 ..
