Nokia 5800 XpressMusic announced

Earlier dubbed as Nokia Tube, the just announced Nokia 5800 XpressMusicmay appeal to many Nokia fans with its touch screen interface that comes with a pen stylus.

Here’s what Nokia fans will get with the release of the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic:

Nokia 5800

Surprisingly, the price $392 is pretty attractive (just around Php18,000) considering you also get the 8GB microSD card in it.

What’s more surprising is that Nokia is also introducing the “Comes with Music” in this handset — that’s 12 months of free unlimited subscription to the Nokia Music Store.

Not only is the Nokia 5800 a potential iPhone-killer, it’s more like an iTunes-killer too. See Nokia PR page.
