Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is a smartphone announced by Nokia on 2 October 2008 and started shipping in November of that year. Code-named "Tube", it was the first touchscreen-equipped S60 device by Nokia, and was the first to run on the touch-specific Symbian v9.4 (S60 5th Edition). The touchscreen features tactile feedback (though it does not use Nokia's Haptikos technology). It is part of the XpressMusic line.
Nokia 5800 XpressMusic was launched together with the service Nokia Music Store, the predecessor to Nokia Comes With Music (later known as MixRadio), which consists of a year of free music downloads included in the price of the phone. This service was optional to the carriers.
The 5800 XpressMusic was a commercial success with 8 million units sold a year after release. It was praised for its supplied stylus and low price, but was viewed negative by critics for its camera and software issues.
It has a compatibility mode for Java applications that are not touchscreen-aware. It works by using part of the screen for displaying the essential buttons required by the program.
The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is not the first touchscreen device in Nokia's range. In 2004, the Nokia 7700 was announced, a Nokia Series 90 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 also produced the UIQ-based Nokia 6708 phone in 2005, but this was not an in-house development and was bought in from Taiwanese manufacturer BenQ. Nokia have also produced a range of Maemo-based Internet tablets which have a touchscreen interface, but are not mobile phones by themselves (one can connect and use a phone via Bluetooth). The 5800 is, however, Nokia's first Symbian S60 touchscreen device.
