Nokia 5800 MusicXpress

The iPhone Influence continues on new Nokia.

Nokia are launching the 5800 MusicXpress in Hong Kong in the fourth quarter of 2008. Although it looks very “iPhoney” it’s probably more “iPody” in its execution as the name of the game for the 5800 is “music.”

The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic will be among the first devices to offer one year of unlimited access to the entire Nokia Music Store catalogue.

Taking advantage of touch screen technology, the ‘Media Bar’, a handy drop down menu that provides direct access to music and entertainment, including favourite tracks, videos and photos. It also supports surfing the web with Flash content!

Ensuring a seamless music experience, Nokia 5800 XpressMusic also provides easy access to browse and purchase tracks from the Nokia Music Store, where applicable, while the newly updated Nokia Music PC software allows for easy drag-and-drop transfer of songs and management of any music collection.

For the best screen resolution available on a mobile phone, the 3.2” widescreen display brings photos, video clips and web content to life in vibrant color and true clarity. With a 16 by 9 aspect ratio and 30 frames-per-second playback and recording, the device is ideal for VGA quality video recording and playback.

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 or Flickr. Music playlist song titles can also be shared through Bluetooth, MMS or online sharing.

Nokia also has four new music accessories including a new Bluetooth headset and three new stereo headsets.
