Anybody surprised? As it was expected, the 5800 Xpress Music is now officially announced by Nokia. This is the first phone to feature a touchscreen while running on a Symbian S60 operating system. This is the new S60 5th Edition, which was also announced today. Rumors confirm and the 5800 Xpress Music will be a mid-level phone, priced at about $390 (EUR 280) unlocked with a 8GB card. Features include 3.2-inch 640x360 pixels display (good one Nokia!), 3.2MP camera, Wi-Fi, GPS, and 3.5mm jack. It will be available before the end of the year in either black, red or blue. There will be three versions: with North American HSDPA, with European HSDPA and GSM only.

"3.2-inch 640x360 pixels display (good one Nokia!), 3.2MP camera, Wi-Fi, GPS" Specs sounds good for a "mid-level" phones, bye bye to my ipod touch :)

Dude, I am not trolling, but this sucker looks way too thick.

im seeing what youre seeing, 15mm? that is kinda thick compared to all the new touch phones out there.

being little more thick is ok to me than having a bad battery life, this thing has 1350ma battery which is very good

Not as thick as the Tmobile G1...

$390 unlocked is a bit pricey for me. How much would this type of phone normally cost if one was to sign with a 2 yr contract w/ a provider like t-MOBILE OR at&t?

Wow good question, I can't imagine it would cost more than the G1 phone. Anyone know how much?

9. (unregistered) posted on 02 Oct 2008, 14:42 0 0

390 is cheap for being unlocked, and you cant buy it on contract.

most unlocked phones are expensive look up touch diaomond,omina those phones are pushing like 600-700 dollars. this phone is a great deal.

android is still in developing phase , has lot of bugs and compatibility issues , i wonder how many have actually used a g1 or have proper knowledge about their plat perform in a way symbian is solid and user friendly and softwares are free , if u know where to find ;) too bad many americans have no idea about that

Then go visit some non-American site and shut the hell up if you have nothing else to say.
