Yep that right Nokia have entered the touch-screen race with the Nokia 5800, this will be adorned with a 3.2-inch TFT touch-screen, capable of displaying 16M colours at a resolution of 640x360 (shown below).
A reasonable range of specs so far compared with some of the current handsets on the market but a big let down for the handset could be the fact that it will run on the S60 5th edition as opposed to the current trend to use a windows mobile OS.
On the other hand, as with most touch screens the 5800 will have an accelerometer for instant rotation of pictures, which can be taken with a nifty 3 megapixel autofocus camera, boasting a Carl Zeiss lens embedded on the rear of the handset.
Geo-tagging will also be possible with integrated GPS and A-GPS functions in addition to quad-band functionality supporting GSM/GPRS/EDGE with UMTS/HSDPA to boot!
The Nokia 5800 will come bundled with 140MB of built-in memory and a free microSD card slot allowing up to 8 GB of memory to be supported all in a device weighing a mere 104g… not bad, not bad at all.
Further connectivity options include USB 2.0, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth complete with a 3.5mm AV jack and TV.
With this device Nokia seem to be catering for all but the proof in is in the finished model and like many I’m eager to see what really is on offer when it comes out.
Stay posted for more news.
