Nokia has launched the highly anticipated Nokia 5800 XpressMusic in the United States. The latest in Nokia's XpressMusic range, the 5800 is an affordable music device with a touch screen interface for the mass market.
The 5800 offers all the music essentials including a graphic equalizer, 8GB memory for up to 6,000 tracks and support for all main digital music formats, a 3.5mm jack and built-in surround sound stereo speakers.
"When it comes to music phones, people all over the world want a device that is a great music experience and still works really well as a mobile phone, without sacrificing features," said Ian Laing, Vice President, North America Sales, Nokia.
"The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic delivers on this and has clearly proven to be a device that consumers are clamoring for - selling more than one million worldwide since its introduction a few months ago."
Making the most of touch screen technology, the 5800 delivers easy and fast access to music, video and photos through a one-touch 'Media Bar' drop down menu which also offers a direct link to the Web and to online sharing with Flash content support.
For quick links, its 'Contacts Bar' lets users highlight four favorite contacts on their home-screen and, through a single touch, track a digital history of recent text messages, emails, phone logs, photos and blog updates to or from them.
Photos, videos and web content come to life in vibrant color and true clarity on the 3.2” widescreen display of the 5800. With a 16 x 9 aspect ratio and 30 frames-per-second playback and recording, video recording and playback comes in VGA quality.
The 5800 also features a 3.2 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss lens and with a single touch, images or videos can be shared through online communities, such as Ovi Share, Flickr, or Facebook.
Input methods for the 5800 include a virtual alphanumeric keypad, a virtual computer-style QWERTY keyboard, both using either a pen stylus or for music enthusiasts, a guitar pick.
The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic will be available in the U.S. through Nokia Flagship stores in New York and Chicago, nokiausa.com and independent retailers and e-tailers.
