Nokia unveils its iPhone competitor, NZ release early 2009
More than a year after Apple launched the first-generation iPhone, Nokia has taken the wraps off its reply: the 5800 XpressMusic.
Nokia’s first-ever touchscreen phone, the 5800 will sell for €279 without plan from mid-October in the UK, bundled with a 12-month free subscription to the company’s Comes With Music service, which offers all-you-can-eat access to “millions of songs” from partners Sony BMG, Warner Music and Universal Music.
The only Comes With Music hold-out, EMI, signed on with Nokia last night, cementing a big-four label line-up cable of rivalling iTunes.
Nokia is targetting the first quarter of 2009 for the 5800’s New Zealand release.
The cost of Comes With Music’s unlimited’s downloads is “baked into” the 5800’s €279 up-front cost (which is less than half the cost of an unlocked iPhones in most Euro areas).
The 5800’s Symbian OS web browser adds the Adobe Flash support so conspicuously lacking on the 3G iPhone OS -- meaning the 5800 should be able to automatically load any site with Flash elements (whereas many sites have added manual tweaks to optimise themselves for iPhone’s Flash-less browser).
The 5800 will also feature support for Nokia’s Ovi service.
By shuffling files through its online storage facility, Ovi lets you sync calendar, contact or data files on your cellphone with those on your PC.
It also lets you store or share dozens of different formats of photo, video and music files, as well as selling games and other software in an approach reminiscent of Apple’s AppStore. Ovi -- which is also open to non-Nokia users -- is live now.
It's free for 60 days, then costs either £4.99 (10GB) or £9.99 (30GB) a month or £39.99 or £74.99 if you buy 10GB/month or 30GB/month storage on an annual plan
Although it shares the iPhone’s full-length touchscreen, virtual keyboard approach, the 5800 lacks the multi-touch technology that allows users of Apple’s handset to “pinch” an image to zoom in, among other tactile tricks.
At 3.2-inches, the 5800’s screen is also physically smaller than the 3G iPhone at 3.5 inches, but offers a better resolution picture at 640 x 360 pixels (to the iPhone’s 480 x 320).
Overall sizewise, the Nokia 5800 measures Dimensions: 111 x 51.7 x 15.5 mm and weighs 109g. The iPhone comes in at 115.5 x 62.1 x 12.3 mm and weighs 133 grams.
Memory is 8GB (the 3G iPhone comes in 8GB and 16GB options, with a 32GB model strongly rumoured before the end of the year).
The 5800 is specc’d to run on a 3G Broadband (aka HSDPA) network, such as Vodafone’s.
While Apple’s iPhone features GPS, Nokia’s 5800 makes it interactive, adding Nokia Maps 2.0 to allow it to offer turn-by-turn driving or walking directions.
The 5800 also one-ups the iPhone on photo and video, featuring a 3.2 megapixel still camera (to the iPhone’s 2 megapixel) and the ability to shoot 640 x 480 video (to the iPhone’s none).

ComesWithMusic is the usual DRM rubbish
My blog rant: http://tinyurl.com/4m2tjt - Comes With Music is the usual DRM-infested subscription rubbish. This is something the labels have tried to sell to the consumer for the last ten years and failed; it's not clear why wishful thinking would make it sell now.
DRM
actually, i was at the nokia event and they clearly said that you can:
- keep all thetracks you download
- transfer them between your computer and you mobile phone
Yes, there is DRM, but if it's done in this way, no one will ever notice the difference.
I would have been excited
I would have been excited about this phone if it had been in peoples hands in 2006 but 2009 ???
This is a joke of a phone by the time this hits the nz market apple will have a v3 iphone on the market making if look even more stupid.
WHEN
When is Nokia 5800 coming to New Zealand like the actual Date??? cause im dying to get one
