Nokia 5800 XpressMusic – a great music phone!

The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is Nokia’s first full touchscreen device and is one of the high-end phones in the XpressMusic range. This is a 3G smartphone made to compete with the iPhone. As you would expect from Nokia the handset is a sleek, stylish design with a clear, large, high-resolution 640 x 360 pixels screen. The screen makes using the interface a whole lot easier and is responsive to finger touch, stylus or plectrum. It also has a full virtual QWERTY keyboard and a handwriting recognition system to make communication simple.

Where the Nokia excels is with its camera and music system. The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic uses proper camera technology and incorporates a Carl Zeiss lens, auto focus and LED flash. The video camera produces 30 frames per second and has full stereo sound, and the front mounted camera makes video conferencing possible.

It also includes an excellent music player with an easy to use interface, 8-band graphic EQ and headphone jack. Along with this comes an 8GB memory card, which can hold up to 2,000 mp3 tunes, with the option of upgrading to a 16GB if necessary.

Its superior download capacity means that using the browser you can easily watch clips from YouTube or MySpace without any jerky movements, and its Wi-Fi capacity makes logging on at the nearest hot spot simple.

Utilising all the positives from iPhone technology without being another hybrid clone, Nokia have included all the things you have come to expect from them and put them to good use with their latest model.
