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.

    nasa 20K lang yan naka subsidize kasi yung iphone kaya wag nyo i compare dun retail price na nya ang $300+ unlike iphone eh 199 naka plan

    di naman siguro aabot ng 30k.. kasi it’s a question of availability eh… pretty much yung globe predominantly one of the official retailers ng iphone 3g kaya yung iphone 3g subject to overpricing… yung 5800 naman, ang daming potential retailers niyan (Nokia Store[dapat naman], memoxpress[official retailer siya.. nasa box ng most nokia phones], etc.)… so no need to rely sa mga mobile networks gaya ng globe. the only thing to worry about is yung taxes na idadagdag pagdating dito…haha

    Very cool and a tempting buy. Let’s hope the Yuga’s suggested price tag stays true once this unit hits local stores. It would one awesome Christmas gift.
