Nokia 5800 XpressMusic starts shipping, piggy banks beware

27 Nov, 2008
It's here folks - the first S60 fully touch-operated device has finally hit the shelves. Nokia kept up to their promise and released the handset before the end of November. Unluckily the price of the Nokia 5800...

I'm waiting for the full packing list in the box before judging this phone. Who knows, maybe it's really a $279 phone packed with $720 worth of applications, music & videos on the included 8GB memory card, with all cables & compatible acccessories already included in the box. Add in free voice & data airtime & 10000 free SMS text messages! :P LOL

              GOC, 28 Nov 2008I totally agree.... When the NSeries releases a Touch Scree... moreWhy the N series. I hate N series.
              My wife had the N81 (I'm the one that recomended it), and I believe E51/E65 is better than N81.

              I hate the 'always on' music button in N81. I hate thinking that the music aplication can't be closed.

              I love the E-series better. Especially the E66/E71. it's lovely. I was planning to upgrade my E61i to E71, but then E75 rumors make me wait... ;)

                I totally agree.... When the NSeries releases a Touch Screen device, thats when i may put my N82 on the shelf. The N82 along side of the other Nseries devices i've owned is so far the best I've had. Overall, Im just a huge Nokia, NSeries, Symbian fan!! NSeries Touch Screen, Im waiting for ya!!

                  m3th4don, 27 Nov 2008This is crap! all stores are looking for huge profits from ... moreThat's the way how our economic work.
                  Believe me, if no elites buy the phone with over price for the first 1 months, then nokia will suddenly cancel the phone with a note that this phone is a failure. That's just the way it's work.

                  And unfortunately, price caution user like us must wait.

                    m3th4don, 27 Nov 2008What "elites"? be serious. it's not Gresso or The Meridist ... moreI have a friend who change handphone every other months.
                    He always use a handphone that were on the cover of the new release handphone magazine.

                    That's elites.... and this elites don't really care if that's a nokia E90, some motorola covered with gold (I think it's V3 gold?) or blackbery.... I always see him changing his fone.

                        What is wrong with you people? If you dont like the price, dont buy! Use your right as consumer. Together we unite and teach these retaillers a lesson! Once the recession took place, they will sell them at very2 low price. Hahahahahaha!

                          Anonymous, 28 Nov 2008I dont uderstand something.why ppl must have the phone as s... morei know what you mean, but the thing is theres just too much wait, the whole "excitement" of new phones is getting them where they are new not for the show factor (however that is there too) but cause we are bored of the olders models, remember the N73? i went insane for that model and i bought it and loved it alot. But after a year i got bored and was onto the next model. But these days when a phone is announced it take just way way way too long for it to come out and than when it does its so expensive only the poeple who just can't wait get it, but i've been waiting for N96 for like a year and even though i've saved up for it its just not worth its price so end up waiting longer. The mobile world is really messed up right now and things are only getting worse, all these flame wars are only the start. Later Homie!

                                      what? 900 usd? if this is true, i'll forget 5800. with 900 usd i can buy the most sophisticated winmo or an iphone.

                                      i've not seen nor touched 5800 but im sure it cannot equal a usd900-winmo or iphone.
