If you’re a T-Mobile UK customer packing a Nokia phone then you’ll probably be more than happy to find out that your carrier is going to offer you Nokia’s Comes With Music service. The offer is only available if you get a new Nokia 5800 XpressMusic phone with it too. The service will be available free of charge for a whole year once you chose a new 2-year plan of at least £30 per month. Besides unlimited music downloads you will also get unlimited mobile Internet and unlimited SMS messages so the bundle doesn’t sound bad at all, does it?

04 Sep 09 Nokia N97 Sold Two Million Units Already
Nokia’s flagship phone, the N97, might not have been received very well in the USA where no carrier is currently selling it, but it’s certainly a great seller. The phone has already been sold in 2 million units in the past three months around the world. Its big brother, the 5800 XpressMusic has been sold in 10 million units in the last 10 months which means Nokia is on the right track. It’s first touchscreen phones are bringing in money and we’re anxious to see what new smartphones will the Finnish manufacturer launch. The next big hit should be the N900 which seems to be, at least so far, a much better phone than the N97.
What about you? What Nokia phone do you currently own and what Nokia phone would you rather have? After all Nokia is currently the number one mobile manufacturer with an almost 40% worldwide market share. Chances are that you’re currently using a Nokia phone too!

21 Aug 09 Nokia announces 5800 Navigation Edition

The 5800 Navigation Edition will come with Ovi Maps software pre-installed along with lifetime licenses for turn-by-turn voice guided directions. Included in the bundle is a car mount and car charge. which is nice, because if you’d probably end up buying those anyways.

31 Jul 09 Nokia 5800i Gets Approved by the FCC
Another version of the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic has been approved by the FCC. The 5800i is the version I am talking about and it’s probably going to be headed to China. The 5800i is going to be pretty similar to the regular 5800 version. In terms of features you can expect it to offer you WCDMA 900/2100MHz,quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE and WiFi connectivity. That WiFi is a little strange for a Chinese considering that we’ve heard lots of rumors about the WiFi-less iPhone made for China. Or should we assume this 5800i is simply a refresh of the 5800? Are we getting that capacitive screen that was rumored a while ago?

16 Jul 09 Nokia’s Market Share Up but Profits Go Down in Q2
Nokia has announced the numbers for the second quarter of the year and they don’t look very good. Nokia has sold 103.2 million handsets in Q2 which is 11% better than in Q1. As for the global market share, Nokia still holds an impressive 38% in Q2 which is 1% better than in Q1. And you’d expect Nokia’s profits to be up too right? Well that’s not what happened folks! Are you ready for this? Nokia’s operating profit for Q2 was of just 775 million Euros. That sounds like a lot but that’s 66% less than last year. Net sales dropped 25% in Q2 compared to last year which amounts to 9.9 billion Euros.
The hottest Nokia phones were the 5800 and the E71. The 5800 XpressMusic sold in 3.7 million units in Q2 while the E71 sold in 5 million units since it was launched.
What is Nokia expecting for the third quarter? Well the company will maintain its market share but it also expects device volumes to decline by 10% from 2008 levels. We’ll be waiting to see similar reports from the other big names in the industry. Is any manufacturer doing better than in 2008?

25 May 09 Nokia Ovi Store Goes Live in Australia, Ireland and Singapore
Nokia’s own app store, the Ovi Store, has been soft launched in Australia, Ireland and Singapore. According to Nokia we should “expect a broader announcement and consumer availability soon.” We should probably see the Ovi Store available in other countries soon but we have no idea what soon actually means. In the mean time, check out the shots above for some Nokia Ovi Store action as it would show on a N97 or a 5800.

03 May 09 Cincinnati Bell to Sell the Nokia XpressMusic 5800 for $149.99
You were not expecting this, but Cincinnati Bell is the first carrier in the USA to offer the Nokia XpressMusic 5800 for a subsidized price. Its customers in the Ohio region will get to choose from the $149.99 with a contract version and the $349.99 without a contract version. The contract-less version is $50 cheaper than Nokia’s current price so people might still be interested in Cincinnati Bell’s offer even without a contract. Anyone else interested in bringing the 5800 to the American public?

29 Apr 09 Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Goes All StarTrek on UK Customers
Nokia’s first touchscreen handset, the 5800 XpressMusic comes with a surprise for UK customers. Depending if you love Star Trek or not you’ll either love the new design or simply hate it. Starting with May 1 the phone will be available in a Star Trek version. The ultimate Trekkie accessory comes in three versions, red, blue and black/silver. The great part about it is that the phone will be available free of charge as long as the customer will choose at least a £25 a month plan from either carrier. You can choose from Vodafone, O2, T-Mobile and Orange since the phone is sold by Phones 4U anyway.
The phone will offer you lots of Star Trek-related content: screenpapers, wallpapers and exclusive ringtones like: Phaser Shot, Kelvin Communicator and more. What do you say? Are you going to get one?

15 Apr 09 Nokia XpressMusic 5800: 13 million sold and going strong
Having sold over a million units in the first month of its release, Nokia’s first touchscreen device, the XpressMusic 5800 has now crossed the 13 million mark in just two months after the Finnish giant unleashed it worldwide. While this isn’t that close to the 17 million iPhones and iPhone 3Gs sold (in 16 months), it isn’t that far either and Nokia has a lot of time to catch up to that kind of figures. The news was revealed by Rob Taylor, head of Forum Nokia for the Americas, at CTIA Wireless 2009 recently. Now, we don’t really want to get down to iPhone-bashing, but Apple better have something really good planned for this year if it wants to claim back the touchphone throne that is slowly slipping from underneath it.

08 Mar 09 Nokia 5800 XpressMusic NAM Ready for Amazon’s Video On Demand
Since the Nokia 5800 NAM is fully working again, there’s no reason for not getting one. And we have just heard that Amazon’s Video on Demand service will be available on the Nokia handset. It will bring you over 40,000 movies and TV shows straight to your phone. Sure the screen might not be big enough to properly display your favorite shows but the service should really come in handy when you’re going to be bored to death on that long commute train. Over the air downloads aren’t available just yet so you’ll have to get your shows from your computer before leaving home.

04 Mar 09 Nokia 5800 to get multitouch pretty soon
Take that Apple! The feature that has made the iPhone so special is very soon coming to Symbian S60 touchscreen phones, thanks to a developer named Jamie Fuller who has taken it upon himself to get multitouch on to the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic phone. There are no details on how he is doing it but he has a Guitar Hero-like game to prove it, which still needs a lot of work, and when done, will be available as a freeware. Take your time, Jamie, we’ll wait, but just be mindful of any infringements on Apple’s multitouch patent.

02 Mar 09 Nokia 5800 NAM Problems Limited to Nokia and Chicago Only
You surely remember last week’s Nokia problems regarding the 5800 NAM version. The phone has bee pulled of the shelves of Nokia stores for further investigation and probably fixing. The 5800 NAM had a poor 3G performance and probably that hasn’t changed yet. Nokia hasn’t divulged the real reason behind the malfunction but it did say that
only NY and Chicago affected, in Dallas and Miami the devices are working OK. The investigation is ongoing on the device itself and the network used in these cases.
Well that’s a little weird in my book? Especially since Nokia isn’t willing to give us all the hot details yet.

01 Mar 09 Nokia 5800 NAM Gets Pulled from New York Nokia Store
Nokia has just brought the 5800 XpressMusic NAM version to its US Nokia stores. We’ve already told you that didn’t we? But it looks like there’s something wrong with the device as Nokia has decided to pull the handset from its New York store. And that something is pretty big too. These 5800 NAM handsets seem not to have any working 3G which lead to quite a few of returns. The Nokia 5800 NAM is not in stock anymore and we assume all phones are going to the repair and patch shop. When will they be available again? We’ll let you know!

10 Feb 09 Nokia 5800 NAM version to be launched on Feb 26
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.
