Espoo, Finland – Nokia announced today that the highly anticipated Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is now, or soon will be, available

in select markets globally, including Russia, Spain, India, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Finland, among others. The latest in Nokia’s

XpressMusic range, the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic delivers an affordable music device with a touch screen interface to the mass

market.

Aiming to put music into the hands of millions, the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic offers all the music essentials including a

graphic equalizer, 8GB memory for up to 6000 tracks, support for all main digital music formats, and a 3.5mm jack. Built-in

surround sound stereo speakers offer the industry’s most powerful sound.

“When it comes to music phones, people all over the world want a device that is a great music experience and still works

really well as a mobile phone, without sacrificing features,” said Jo Harlow, Vice President, Nokia. “The Nokia 5800

XpressMusic delivers on this and allows consumers to quickly and easily access and share the content that is most important

to them with the people that are most important to them.”

Making the most of touch screen technology, the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic delivers easy and fast access to all music, video and

photos through a one-touch ‘Mediabar’ drop down menu. The Media Bar also offers a direct link to the Web and to online

sharing. Because the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic supports Flash content, individuals can surf the entire web.

The innovative ‘Contacts Bar’ lets people highlight four favorite contacts on their home-screen and, through a single touch,

track a digital history of recent text messages, emails, phone logs, photos and blog updates.

For the best screen resolution available on a mobile phone, the 3.2″ widescreen display brings photos, video clips and web

content to life in vibrant color and true clarity. With a 16 by 9 aspect ratio and 30 frames-per-second playback and

recording, the device is ideal for VGA quality video recording and playback. The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic also features a 3.2

megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss lens and, with a single touch, images or videos can be shared via a favorite online

community, such as Share on Ovi, Flickr, or Facebook.

Ensuring a seamless music experience, Nokia 5800 XpressMusic also provides easy access to browse and purchase tracks from the

Nokia Music Store, where applicable, while the newly updated Nokia Music PC software allows for easy drag-and-drop transfer

of songs and management of any music collection.

The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic supports 60 languages worldwide and offers a variety of input methods including a virtual

alphanumeric keypad, a virtual computer-style QWERTY keyboard, a pen stylus — and for true music enthusiasts, a plectrum —

are all available.
