Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Now Available in the United States

Nokia just announced that the touch screen Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is (finally!) available in the United States. Why have people been waiting for this one? Here is a quick rundown of its features.

The 5800 XpressMusic has a 3.2" widescreen display, 16 by 9 aspect ratio, 30 frames-per-second playback and recording, 3.2 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss lens, and a virtual QWERTY keyboard. The Contact Bar lets you have four of your favorite contacts on your home-screen to easily track text messages, emails, phone logs, photos and blog updates.

On the music side, the 5800 includes a graphic equalizer, 8GB memory, a 3.5mm jack, and built-in surround sound stereo speakers. It also supports all main digital music formats. Access your music (video, web and photos too) through the handy Media Bar drop down menu.

The MSRP on this baby is not cheap at $399, but for a limited time it will also come with a $50 voucher for Amazon Video on Demand. One month of free turn-by-turn voice guided navigation through Ovi Maps is included as well.
