Nokia 5800 XpressMusic announced

Hello! Are you a Nokia 5800 XpressMusic owner? Please take the quick survey here!

Earlier dubbed as Nokia Tube, the just announced Nokia 5800 XpressMusic may appeal to many Nokia fans with its touch screen interface that comes with a pen stylus.

Here’s what Nokia fans will get with the release of the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic:

3.2 inch touch screen display (640×360)
3G/HSDPA 3.6Mbps
GPS with Nokia Maps 2.0
WiFi 802.11 b/g
3.15MP autofocus camera with Carl Zeiss optics and dual flash (2048×1536 pixels)
secondary camera for video calls
Pre-loaded with an 8GB microSD card (max 16GB)
81MB internal memory
Proximity Sensor (auto turn-off)
Accelerometer sensor for auto-rotate
Handwriting recognition
Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP
Stereo FM radio with RDS
TV Out
3.5mm audio output jack

Nokia 5800

Surprisingly, the price $392 is pretty attractive (just around Php18,000) considering you also get the 8GB microSD card in it.

What’s more surprising is that Nokia is also introducing the “Comes with Music” in this handset — that’s 12 months of free unlimited subscription to the Nokia Music Store.

Not only is the Nokia 5800 a potential iPhone-killer, it’s more like an iTunes-killer too. See Nokia PR page.

    hello everyone, i bought my 5800 last january here in bahrain, i was seriously considering an iphone before i got my nokia, good thing i didnt buy an iphone, the nokia 5800 is a hell of a lot better in features and performance, the music player is way much better than any ipod or iphone, you may need to purchase a good pair of headphones to enjoy the full potential of its audio quality, although the standard nokia headphones are quite good also, im quite happy with this phone, its really a good value for its price.

  4. leo says:

  18. Peep-squeak says:

    right now its about 14-13k brand new dunno if its china but more or less thats the pice ive seen around… got mine around 22k when it got out. it has its ups and downs but im pretty much satisfied with it.. camera is just dry in colors not for night mode if you like taking shots at night better in daylight specially in good lighting conditions… (if ur looking for camera fones idd better go with ericson or a samsung) Sound quality is great just replace the head phones coz their downright bad… (got myself a bluetooth headset) hope that satisfies ur curiosity…

    All 5800 were made from china, that’s what nokia informed me. I got mine from dubai, and it’s china made. It really works well and satisfied me, just a few glitch with the camera though it’s just 3.15mp, but try using night portrait when taking pictures at night. My brother just bought his 5800 here in Manila, kaso nagko-corrrupt ng files at nagdedelete. Na-update nya pero di magamit ang secondary cam for 3g or picture taking. Dinala sa nokia for service. It took them a week to repair at QC daw. Pagbalik sa bro ko yong unit, ok na. Pero pagdating sa bahay ganun din after few hours sira uli. Binalik uli sa nokia for repair, sira daw board at secondary cam. Papalitan daw nila pyesa. Come to think of it brand new unit binili mo, tapos irerepair lang nila and it will take 2-3 weeks para sa pyesa. Sayang lang pinambili ng brand new, mas maigi pa siguro 2nd hand nalang….

      Nabasa ko poh post mu sa 5800 cp unit ganun bah tlaga yun bibili pa na man ako bukas kc gsto2x ko talaga hanap palang ako ng brand new,,

      ano bah dapat gagawin ko
      gsto ko din Sumsong nalng maganda bah yun

  20. rik says:

    Before buying nokia products, please ask the seller if they will replace the unit if found defective and not repair/replace parts. If they will only repair it, it’s like you bought a recon cellphone for the price of brand new, it’s not worth your money. Just what Nokia Philippines wants after I bought a nokia 1202 which they found out to be defective and it will take them 2-3 weeks, same with my brothers brand new 5800. Luckily the shop where I bought the 1202 informed me that they will replace the unit if found defective with in 7 days after you bought the unit. P.S. all my phones are nokia, but most of them were bought abroad and never had a problem compared to those bought here in the Philippines which were defective.

    @RIK…dapat d pumayag kapatid mo na i repair lng kasi brand new binili once na open nila un parang 2nd hand na lang kasi nabuksan na. Dapat ininsist nya na palitan tutal binili ng defective d namn sya ang nakasira. Siguro nga mga phone sa Philippines mga defective, my nokia 5800 that i bought here in italy and made in Hungary, it runs well, and i can use secorndary cam while chatting tru skype.

  22. rik says:

    Tnx Dee. Wala naman tayo magagawa kasi wala naman tayo lakas sa kanila. Sila ang may hawak sa atin, alam mo naman dito sa Pinas, pag wala ka pera, wala ka, pag maliit ka lang, inaapakan ka lang. Sales nila ang priority, not service… cheers!!!

  23. dee says:

    @RIK…un ang mali sa mga ibang pinoy,d i excercise un rights of customer. I try nya muna kung i aaccept un reklamo nya kung d sya pansinin pede sya pumunta or tumawag sa DTI humingi ng tulong. Dapat kasi matigil na un ganun gawain mga pinoy na kung ano ibigay un na d na lumaban. Binayaran mo un gusto mo makuha d un kung ano un gusto nila ibigay sau. Un sinasabi mo pag maliit ka lng at walang pera e inaapakan ka lang…ang tanong ko pare bakit ka mag papaapak sa knila kung alam mo namn nasa tama ka. Anyways, payo ko lng nmn un….

  24. kyla :D says:

    sana i can buy that soon :D

  25. rik says:

    @dee. tnx pre, as of now, we already received the brand new recon of 5800 from nokia customer care atc(they replaced the broken part of the brand new unit). tnx for your concern. i hope this blog will help our kababayan in buying new nokia phones. p.s. may mga shop na nagpapalit ng unit if found defective with in 7days of purchase.
