The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is a touchscreen music phone that's more compact and cheaper than the Apple iPhone - but we're going to have to wait to see it.
Nokia announced the long-awaited 5800 XpressMusic phone (also known as the Nokia Tube) last week, with some parts of the world getting shipments of the phone almost immediately. However Australia isn't expected to receive handsets until early next year.
The most notable claim to fame for this handset is that it's a touchscreen unit - Nokia's first. Although it's smaller than the iPhone, it's also positioned as a multi-tasking music mobile phone, with a similarly impressive feature set.
The Nokia 5800 packs in support for both Wi-Fi and HSDPA as well as A2DP Bluetooth - this allows you to stream your music directly to compatible headphones and speakers. It will come with an 8GB microSD memory card in the box, providing storage for multimedia content. All this content can be viewed on the 640x360 pixel display.
There is a lot else to like about this phone: long battery life and the new Nokia operating platform, for example. But what's really going to prove appealing is the price: it's expected to retail for under $500.
