The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic will not launch in the UK before Christmas, no doubt disappointing those hoping for the Finnish company's iPhone rival under their tree this Yule.

It seems Nokia's first mass-market touchscreen phone, dubbed the Tube, will miss its planned November launch, and the crucial Christmas sales period.

Although only promised to be "available worldwide beginning in the fourth quarter of 2008" in the original press info, reporters, including those from Pocket-lint, were informed at the UK "Remix" press launch that the phone would go on sale in November.

This will not be the case, as a Nokia spokesperson has confirmed to Pocket-lint today:

"The 5800 XpressMusic will be available in Q4 in some markets including Russia, Spain, India as well as parts of Asia Pacific and the Middle East. In other key markets, like the UK, which require greater operator variation, the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic will be available in Q1 2009."

Some industry commentators have speculated that the delay may be related to mobile phone operator's unwillingness to offer the related unlimited "Comes With Music" service.

Damn...
I just got back from MV after watching 007. Saw Nokia booths from top floor and thought they were only promoting N96. Good luck to the fella who won N96 contest.

I hope that 5800 comes with accelerometer. Its one of the thing that were missing from 7710. Having that would be great. But touchscreen device is fun for those who are working in office or clean job. Having used several touch screen phone before, I have to say its frustrating when you have to search for numbers or typing sms while driving.

It does comes with an accelerometer..I think blink.gif

Here's my side..I arrived and saw the promoter holding the phone and chatting to her colleague..I didn't bother asking..I hoped that there's another unit..apparently not..
Went around the roadshow..then back to her..wanted to see the phone as she was holding it..but she buat tak tao =.=

Then I asked "Is this the 5800?"
Her muka like dunwan layan "Yeah"..I asked "Could I have a look?"

She just hand over to me and never really explain anything..

I took and mess around with what I know..lol

Camera + Flash - I couldn't really see the final picture..as the screen is small..need to actually upload it..but after snapping..it look quite sharp..and man..the flash is bright!

Screen - I love the touch screen..some comments over the net states that it's more like a "press-screen"..I've gotta disagree..just a slight tap from either finger or nail..it picks up..I wouldn't say it's perfect..sometimes it does not detects..but I'm pretty much happy

Messaging - Using the full qwerty is fun..though people with big fingers like me..may have slight trouble...but heck..there's a stylus-pick..though it's not attached with the demo phone

Price & Date of availability- Upon asking the price and expected date..she said price should be RM2k plus..and available end of December

I know that the date and price mentioned contradicts with everyone that has visited the booth..therefore I wouldn't recommend believing it yet =/

She then immediately ask "Want to pre-order this phone? Can get free stereo headset when you pre-order..no need to pay anything..."

I was like "Ngeh? Nevermind..It's coming out end of December right? I'll get it then"

I then left..lol
