Nokia 5800 XpressMusic

The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic (see PC MAG Review or Play at the Nokia Site) is a fully featured music lovers dream come true in phone form. There’s more than one demo at YouTube showcasing the phone in use. One of the coolest things about the phone is Nokia’s Comes With Music feature that offers yearly subscriptions to ALL the music they have in their catalog.

“With the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, we set out to connect people through the one thing we all feel a universal connection to – music,” said Jo Harlow, Vice President, Nokia. “The way in which people enjoy music is different around the world. With that in mind, the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic gives people the freedom to experience music they love in the way they prefer.”

The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic introduces the ‘Media Bar’, a handy drop down menu that provides direct access to music and entertainment, including favourite tracks, videos and photos. The Media Bar also offers a direct link to the web and to online sharing. Because the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic supports Flash content, individuals can surf the entire web, not just pieces of it.

• 3.2 ” LCD touch screen – 640×360 resolution @ 16-million-colors
• Data: GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, HSDPA
• Service With: AT&T, T-Mobile

As Nokia’s first mass-market device with a touch screen, the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic turns a ‘user interface’ into a ‘human interface’ by truly putting people first.  For example, we’ve introduced the Nokia Contacts Bar, which is like a digital RSS feed on your life,” said Harlow.

“By adding the benefits of touch screen technology to S60, the world’s leading smartphone interface, Nokia is taking the familiar and giving it a human touch. We have used touch technology where it really adds value such as the Contacts Bar, Media Bar and clever shortcuts from the homescreen to menu items such as calendar, profiles and clock. ”
