Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is a Symbian smartphone from Nokia as part of the XpressMusic line. It was unveiled on 2 October 2008 in London and started shipping in November of that year, marking the company's first mainstream phone with a touchscreen. The Nokia 5800 was the first device to run S60 ... Positioned as a mid-range offering, Nokia 5800 XpressMusic has a 3.2-inch display with a resolution of 640x360 pixels. The 16:9 aspect ratio display was the first among mobile phones. The resistive touchscreen features tactile feedback, though it does not use Nokia's Haptikos technology. The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is not the first touchscreen device in Nokia's range of handsets. In 2004, the Nokia 7700 was announced, a Series 90 Symbian device that was cancelled before it reached the market. This was followed by the Nokia 7710 which was an upgraded version of the 7700 and became available during 2005. Nokia unveiled the "Tube" 5800 XpressMusic at the Remix event held at Koko in London on 2 October 2008. Alongside the handset, the company also announced the Comes With Music service and a number of stereo wireless Bluetooth headphones. The device began shipping on 27 November 2008 retailing for €279 before taxes and initially available in markets including Finland, Spain, Russia, India and Hong Kong. In addition to the normal Nokia 5800, it had the then-latest version of Nokia Maps/Ovi Maps pre-installed. It also comes with a car charger and car kit inside the box because the GPS decreases the battery life. Both the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic and the 5800 Navigation Edition, however, have free lifetime navigation, due to the new version of Ovi Maps.

The 5800 XpressMusic was Nokia’s first touch-screen device on the Symbian S60 platform. It arrived 19 months after the iPhone and was a long overdue addition to the Nokia line-up given the growing moment around touch-screen devices. Two previous devices — the 7700 (which did not ship) and the 7710 (which sold in small quantities) — were produced using the (by-then) defunct Series 90 platform. Despite Nokia's desire to position the 5800 XpressMusic in a different segment of the market to the iPhone, comparisons were immediately made. The sad reality was that the 5800 was completely incapable of competing with the iPhone and any comparisons were some-what irrelevant. In terms of hardware design, the 5800 XpressMusic had a low-quality finish that lacked the finesse of the iPhone's high-quality materials. This reflected the 5800’s relatively low retail price of €279 before subsidy and taxes. The biggest challenge for Nokia had been morphing S60 from a user interface designed for a single-handed keypad to a fully accessible touch-screen platform. Nokia's Download application was also very weak compared with Apple's App Store. This made the platform considerably less attractive to developers. Other shortcomings were the Music player which had a poor interface and lacked album art in list views and had no equivalent to Apple's Cover Flow. Similarly, the (photo) Gallery application also lacked the finesse of Apple's implementation. The 5800 XpressMusic featured a dedicated hardware button on the top right corner of the device.

Both the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic and the 5800 Navigation Edition, however, have free lifetime navigation, due to the new version of Ovi Maps.[37][38] The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic's low price, about half that of rival touchscreen phones, was praised.[39] Mobile-Review.com stated that the 5800's price included not just the handset but a subscription to the Comes With Music service, allowing music downloading from the Nokia Music Store for 12 months. It cited that this potentially made Nokia a big winner against Apple (iPhone 3G, iPod Touch and iTunes Store), Sony Ericsson (Walkman series) and various manufacturers of portable media players that feature video playback but retail for high prices.[31] On the market, the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic would compete with other touchscreen devices such as Sony Ericsson Xperia X1, Sony Ericsson Satio, iPhone 3G, HTC Touch Diamond, LG Renoir, LG Arena (KM900), BlackBerry Storm 9500, Samsung Pixon and Samsung i900 Omnia.

The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is a touchscreen smartphone developed by Nokia, announced on October 2, 2008, and released on November 27, 2008, marking the company's first mass-market device with a resistive touchscreen interface.[1][2] It runs on the Symbian 9.4 operating system with the S60 5th Edition user interface, optimized for music and multimedia consumption as part of Nokia's XpressMusic lineup.[3][4] Key hardware features include a 3.2-inch TFT resistive touchscreen with 360 × 640 pixel resolution (nHD), a 3.2-megapixel rear camera with LED flash and autofocus, 128 MB RAM, 81 MB interna Similarly, the Nokia 5700 XpressMusic, launched in 2007, introduced a twist mechanism for quick access to media controls, offering up to 10 hours of music playback and 3G connectivity, but relied entirely on traditional button-based navigation.[6][7] Nokia's foray into touchscreen technology predated the 5800 but accelerated significantly following Apple's iPhone launch in 2007, which popularized capacitive multi-touch interfaces and shifted consumer expectations toward intuitive, finger-driven mobile computing. The development team faced significant hurdles in retrofitting the aging Symbian S60 interface—originally designed for keypad navigation—for full touchscreen usability, including issues with gesture recognition, scrolling fluidity, and integration of multimedia features like the XpressMusic player. To address affordability, Nokia targeted a retail price under €300 (approximately €279 unsubsidized), positioning the 5800 as an accessible entry into touchscreen smartphones for global markets, particularly in Europe and Asia.[11][12][13] The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic was unveiled on October 2, 2008, during a press conference at Nokia's Remix event in London, marking the company's entry into mainstream touchscreen smartphones with Symbian S60 capabilities.[9][14][15] This announcement positioned the device as a direct competitor to Apple's iPhone, emphasizing its resistive touchscreen interface and multimedia features tailored for music enthusiasts.[9][16] Global shipping of the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic commenced in late November 2008, with initial availability in select markets such as Russia on November 26 and broader rollout on N
