Nokia Xpress Music 5800 Unveiled!

Nokia today launched its first Series 60 5th Edition touch screeen device, the much awaited Nokia Xpress Music 5800.

As usual folks at Engadget did a scoop "first look" at the device and they do not seem to be much impressed. Although pretty well-stacked up on the features front, it's far from an iPhone killer as most Nokia fans had made it out to be. Infact, it's the same good ol' S60 repackeaged into a touchscreen format. The old style menus and familiar S60 stuff are still there. Whats new with it is (obviously) the touch screen input and something called the "bars" that Nokia has introduced. There is a contact bar, a media bar and god knows what for quick access to your application of choice.

Specs wise, it's a pretty decent show. GPS, 3.5mm standard audio jack, TV-out and a microSD card slot are all standard.

More details as coming soon!
