Nokia unveils the touch screen based music phone 5800 XpressMusic. Also called the Tube.
The Touch-screen looks really impressive with its 3.2-inch 640 x 360 resistive touchscreen. Many compares the Nokia 5800 with Apples iPhone, but the iPhone is more like a MID I think. 5800 is completely music-centric and not so much for Internet usage.
The price looks great though.
