Nokia unveiled its latest show stealer –the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic smart phone in London on 2nd October, 2008 and it seems the Nokia guys have a potential winner up their sleeves once more. You can get touchy feely fully with this S60 touch screen device and with features that can give the Apple's darling costly iPhone a run for its money, the new Nokia kid on the block must be giving sleepless nights to the Apple tech-heads.



Special features of Nokia 5800 XpressMusic

This new Nokia with its jaw dropping features can really pose a big threat to Apple iPhone's huge market share. Finally some one has been able to come up with a handset that can directly challenge the iPhone's superior status.

Nokia 5800 features an intriguing double home screen add ons, a single touch rapidly functioning Media Bar and the Contacts Bar which enables one to access recent communication, sms, log book, favorites, setting and contacts with the press of a single key, just like the Media Bar, thanks to which you don't have to plumb through piles of files to get access to your favorite online or media content.

It has a wide screen resolution of 360X640 pixels that delivers outstanding picture quality in a rather disappointing 3.2 inch screen.

Shutterbugs will love the VGA video (30 frames/second) and the 3.2 mega pixel auto focus camera that delivers decent pictures.

You can enter text on the touch screen with the help of a stylus pen or a plectrum shaped alternative.

Instead of providing a huge number of nonsensical keys which can only help to add to the confusion and irritation, Nokia keeps the control keys to a bare minimum, thus ensuring hassle free smooth navigation. This makes real sense.

The main key embraces the call and end keys on each side. A 3 key combination completes the keypad below the giant touch screen along the lines of Renoir and Pixon.

The other feature-rich pointers that make it a gadget freak's dream handset are extremely powerful stereo surround speakers, 8 GB micro SD memory card which is expandable upto 16GB, TV out, 3.5 mm standard audio jack, HSDPA, 3G, quad band GSM support and other such hi-tech features. The Nokia 5800 also includes the Wi-fi capabilities which many smart phones still lacks including Apple Iphone.

This is a phone for the music junkies for it also comes equipped with an FM radio and Comes With Music service that allows unlimited downloads of music tracks for one year from Nokia music store catalog and the best part is that even after the expiry of the one year free offer, you get to retain all the tracks you have stored. The Nokia Music Store includes over two million tracks for your pleasure and that's ever increasing with the expansion of service.

This is a must buy for gizmo freaks and the experts believe Nokia is on the path to retain and strengthen its supremacy in the mobile world with the launch of this device.
