Finally we have the official pictures of the Nokia 5800 Xpress Music all the specification’s we had reported earlier are present (look at previous article’s for the list ) what is different is the design on the phone not the circular buttons but straight ones like the prototype model we had shown earlier the phone seems to be coming out in 3 colour

The Phone will have a stylus the phone will also have Stereo speakers which have been claimed to be the ‘ best in the world ‘
“With the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, we set out to connect people through the one thing we all feel a universal connection to – music," said Jo Harlow, Vice President, Nokia. "The way in which people enjoy music is different around the world. With that in mind, the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic gives people the freedom to experience music they love in the way they prefer."
The Nokia 5800 Xpress Music will come with a 8gb built in memory seems to be the only variant so far
A few software information that has been revealed is the a new shortcut called the ‘ media bar ‘ a drop down menu that acts as a shortcut to all well obviously media things . Online sharing has also been giving importance in the phone with one touch sharing . Web Browsing is much like the iPhone except a different interface , it has a 3.5mm jack .
A ‘ Contacts’ bar lets consumers highlight four favourite 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.
"As Nokia’s first mass-market device with a touch screen, the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic turns a ‘user interface’ into a ‘human interface’ by truly putting people first. For example, we’ve introduced the Nokia Contacts Bar, which is like a digital RSS feed on your life," said Harlow.
“By adding the benefits of touch screen technology to S60, the world’s leading Smartphone interface, Nokia is taking the familiar and giving it a human touch.
We have used touch technology where it really adds value such as the Contacts Bar, Media Bar and clever shortcuts from the home screen to menu items such as calendar, profiles and clock. "
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 colour 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 16:9 aspect ratio does not mean its HD but expect excellent video quality
Typing which has been a major concern for many of the people will have stylus , on screen virtual keyboard and for music enthusiasts a plectrum
The phone like expected will be out in the fourth quarter of 2008 and will cost 279 Euro’s without taxes
ok so immediate worries regarding the phone that i have
1) Is it multi touch ?
2) Why is the interface lagging so much ?
3 ) And Double tap to select ??? can it be changed ?
Nokia i seriously hope you are able to fix the lag that seems to be in the video and double tap be a changeable option the rest all good the phone looking a babe .
UPDATE : It is not confirmed if it is a OLED screen but it is most likely not as Nokia is not showing it off
UPDATE 2: Bad news it is Pressure sensitive touch not like the iPhone more like the HTC and Samsung out there explains the Stylus and Cheap price
UPDATE 3 :The European Nokia site has the Phone up http://europe.nokia.com/A41271008?nocache
