Nokia 5800 Xpress Red

People have been talking about it for months, and now, it's finally here: Nokia's first mainstream touchscreen mobile phone. A brand-new touch-based interface, a 3MP camera, and superb music playback all go to make the Nokia 5800 Xpress Red one of the most exciting mobile phones ever made!

Touchscreen mobile phones are the big things nowadays. The roster of touchscreen phones grows longer every day, but before this moment, the biggest name in the business, Nokia, haven't brought out their own 2008-spec touchscreen mega-phone. Well, now they've changed all that, and released one, in the form of the fabulous Nokia 5800 Xpress Red.

Mainstream Touchscreen

Fair enough, they may have released touchscreen mobile phones before, but none of them have been as highly anticipated, or as simply awesome, as the Nokia 5800 Xpress Red. It redefines what you do with your phone, using a sleek look, mashed up with that standard Nokia excellence. The reason it can do that so superbly is all down to the Symbian operating system, a totally new incarnation not seen on any other mobile phones before this one. And if that doesn't sound too tempting, consider that what it amounts to is this: with the fusion of the touchscreen, and Nokia's standard user-friendliness, the Nokia 5800 Xpress Red is to be blunt one of the nicest and most intuitive mobile phones you'll ever come across!

Xpress Yourself

As you may have guessed from the name, the Nokia 5800 Xpress Red sits firmly in the XpressMusic series of mobile phones. Which means you'll get properly awesome sounds from this baby. Needless to say, your music is controlled through the touchscreen, so the slightest press of your fingertips will have the phone pumping music in your ears. Then, while your ears are being filled with song, let the 3 megapixel camera inside the Nokia 5800 Xpress Red thrill your visual senses with the breathtaking photos it chucks out, which you control, yet again, by touch.

Finally, you also get the most advanced touch-based maps, via the GPS in the Nokia 5800 Xpress. Or you could get yourself on the internet at serious broadband speeds of up to 3.6Mbps. Whatever you want, it's all, quite literally, just a touch away with the superb Nokia 5800 Xpress.
