Nokia 5800 XpressMusic

After almost a year of rumors, omissions, disputes and an unexpected appearance in the film “Batman: The Dark Knight”, Nokia has finally unveiled its Tube . Getting under the order of the annoying definition of "killer iPhone", the phone, of course, is not. The XpressMusic devices have their own fans, and they are so committed that they do not need any bitten apples.

Characteristics match expectations: 3.2 touchscreen (not multitouch), running at 640x360 and understanding input with a finger / stylus. The interface provides a touchscreen version of the QWERTY-keyboard and the same T9.

According to information from the press release of Nokia, the first country where Nokia 5800 XpressMusic will be sold will be Russia, beginning: December 5th.

The built-in camera Nokia 5800 left behind the iPhone soapbox: 3.2 Mpx, autofocus, Carl Zeiss optics. Video can be played and recorded at 30 frames per second, with an aspect ratio of 16: 9. Nokia pampers us for our money, but how!

A fly in the ointment: there is no built-in flash storage: files, movies and music must be on microSD cards (which means that the available volume is up to 16 GB).

As usual: 3G support, built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS.

Nokia 5800 XpressMusic looks like a cute little phone, but the price for it, at the moment of appearance on the market, will be just fabulous: € 279 / $ 385. Black, blue or red, unlocked, with 8 GB card included. Very aggressive step towards the iPhone, moreover - without the need to enter into a contract.

A very important point - the launch of the service Nokia Comes With Music. A year of music for free and, please note, good licensed music. More about this service will be available soon.

I wonder how much time will pass before the first ported Android to this undoubtedly interesting device.

Gentlemen, you can't read between the lines - learn to read at least the text. The text of the Russian language to you, clearly, says that I do not consider 5800 competitor iPhone. Or have we already forgotten how to read anything other than pictures and videos? And with just the mention of Android, commentators are gathering a cloud of aggressively inclined makovods, who are starting to minus everything that moves away from their branch of religion. Be tolerant or something: this is news, not a reason for holivar.
