Over the weekend, Nokia announced that they have just shipped the 1 million Nokia 5800 XpressMusic phones making it one of their more successful phones to date.
Even though it hasn’t been released all over the globe, impressive sales in particular regions like Hong Kong, Moscow and no doubt, the Philippines as well has helped the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic attain this feat at such a short amount of time. This, in turn, will no doubt raise even more comparison to Apple’s equally successful mobile phone, the iPhone. So, is the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic phone the real iPhone-killer?
While on paper the 5800 XpressMusic phone does lord it over the iPhone in terms of specs and most importantly the price, it caters to a different segment of the market and to be honest, I personally find the ‘touch’ experience is nowhere near that of the iPhone. Remember, even though the 5800 XpressMusic runs on the S60 OS, it’s still a music phone first and foremost. The iPhone, on the other hand, tries to offer a more modern alternative to the conventional smartphone and for the most part, succeeds in doing so. As far as sales go, I have no doubt that the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic phone can match or even surpass the iPhone, but in terms of performance, they don’t even belong in the same playing field.
If Nokia probably came out with an updated E9x phone that featured a touchscreen, maybe then we can seriously compare the iPhone with Nokia. So what about the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic phone then? It is what it is; a highly successful touchscreen music phone from Nokia.

what is the price of the item nokia 5800 xpress music phone
It is the first touch/music phone of Nokia (I hope there will be another version next quarter)- not so impressive and still slow like other Nokia phone. I hope Nokia can improve their phone interface – in terms of speed. Still not an iphone killer it but beats iphone in terms of specs and sound quality.
fail
couple of officemates bought for 19k at nokia store
Would you give a price for this phone
Nokia 5800XpressMusic
Its only available at Nokia Stores at 19,990. Nokia wants it available only at Nokia stores which is a really really stupid idea. By Feb9 it will be available at other stores at a much cheaper price. The 5800 is huge and bulky. Its bigger than most smartphones. Its better to go for a smartphones at the same price.
how much is it? and is there installment basis??? :)
Got my Nokia 5800 last January 10. It's the best smartphone PhP20k can buy!
I just cannot fathom spending PhP30k for a WinMobile much less PhP40k for an iPhone with less than half the capabilities of the Nokia 5800.
Got mine at automatic centre in glorietta 4. Installment via credit card.... woohooo i love this phone. 3.5G high def screen sensorized gaming and whappak 8giga of micro sd. plus the fact that it has extra stuff and 450 songs i can dl from universal music or emi. Im never buying another phone again .. unless nokia reveals another touch screen phone. Sana nga lang may dual sim na hahahahaha
gano katagal yung battery life nya?
thanks. :)

I can see why they sold 1 million. It is such a great phone to have. It has all the accessories that you want. Orlando Managed services
This is so amazing that you sold this many phones. I am definitely a fan of this phone but this is very suprising to see this many phones being sold for this brand. Somebody made some good money with this phone.

The Nokia 5800 is definitely not a iphone. But it is a great progress made by Nokia the leader in cell phone. I hope that it will launch another cell phone that will be equivalent to iphone and at a lower price.

Do not try to compare Nokia 5800 and iphone. It's like comparing vodka with beer. The iphone is far superior. I only hope that Nokia will soon be able to produce and iphone replacement.

Nokia will definitely never beats Apple in the phone domain. The reason is Apple has taken the mac technology and applies it to iphone. Who has already been able to beat mac?
