With that in mind, the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic gives people the freedom to experience music they love in the way they prefer.”
With a 3.2 inch widescreen display in perfect 16 by 9 aspect ratio and 30 fps playback, the XpressMusic is ideal for VGA (640×480) video recording. The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic also features a 3.2 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss lens and, with a single touch, images or videos can be shared via a favorite online community, such as Share on Ovi, Flickr, or Facebook. Music playlist song titles can also be shared through Bluetooth, MMS or online sharing.
The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic will be available worldwide beginning in the fourth quarter of 2008 for an estimated retail price of 279 EUR before taxes and subsidies. The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic featuring Comes With Music will be available early next year. Pricing details to follow.
