Nokia ExpressMusic 5800 touch phone now in Beijing

Just read that the Nokia ExpressMusic 5800 touch phone (aka Tube), the competitor to Apple's iPhone is now available in Beijing today. Apparently, there is going to be a line up to get the phone, the phone is already available in Taiwan and Hong Kong.



I'm still waiting for the Nokia N97 that was announced at Nokia World 2008, that phone looks cool. The phone competition is really heating up in the touch display and UI world, but this gives great value and choice for customers. The Nokia ExpressMusic 5800 touch phone has been mainly marketed as a music phone that will cater to music lovers and young people with its hit feel and smaller size compared to the iPhone. So the ExpressMusic 5800 is in a different segment than the iPhone. The Nokia N97 however will be targetted for business users and seems will be made available in June of this year.
