After selling over a million units around the world, Nokia has finally decided to tap the States market after all and if the rumors are to be believed, the release date is right around the corner and Nokia’s first ever touchscreen cell phone could hit the shelves by February 26, 2009.

According to The Nokia Blog, the NAM-flavored, 3G-toting Nokia XpressMusic 5800 has already started appearing on some of the major distributors’ systems with a suggested price tag of $399, subject to change by the retailer or the carrier that will pick it up.  While we all know that Nokia clearly has a winner with more than a million units sold, it remains to be seen if the North American version will do as well as its best-selling counterparts in Europe or be obscured by the upcoming N97.
