Today Nokia announced the XpressMusic 5800, a new touch screen-based device that is aimed at the youth market. The 5800 will come with several different radio configurations, including one for European markets and a quad-band GSM/EDGE dual-band 850/1900 MHz HSDPA variant for North America. It also packs in stereo Bluetooth, a-GPS and Wi-Fi. The screen measure 3.2 inches across and 640 x 360 pixels for QVGA resolution. It uses touch-resistance (not touch-capacitance) technology for the touch screen and haptic feedback. Other specs include stereo speakers, a 3.5mm headset jack and a 3.2 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss lens and dual LED flashes. The camera also shoots video at 30 frames per second. It will run S60 5th Edition, which is adapted to work with touch input. The updates to the S60 include a new contacts bar, a new media key and simplified menu systems. The 5800 will be boxed with lots of accessories, including an 8GB microSD card, though the phone will support cards up to 16GB. The phone will be available in European markets starting in the fourth quarter of 2008, and other markets, including the U.S., in the first quarter of 2009. Pricing information was not immediately disclosed.
