Nokia 5800 ExpressMedia a.k.a Nokia Tube

The Germany-based Nokiaport has posted the list of specs and a picture of a speculated Nokia’s first smartphone on S60 Touch interface. Codenamed the Tube it is expected to pop up under the name of Nokia 5800 Xpressmedia. The release of the phone will take place by the end of 2008, reports the source. The smartphone lacks any buttons and features a big touch-sensitive display ready for both stylus and finger operations.

The Nokia Tube would most probably be shipped as the Nokia 5800 Tube and will sport a 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus. A 3.2-inch touchscreen display with 16 Million colors will go up against the iPhone's 3.5-inch multi-touch display. Then there's a quad-band (850/900/1800/1900Mhz) GSM/EDGE radio with 3G UMTS/HSDPA, Bluetooth 2.0, WiFi, and some GPS thrown-in as well. There's also a 3.5mm headphone jack and TV-out port on the Nokia 5800 Tube - much like the recent nseries handsets. And, just like the updated N82, the Nokia 5800 Tube will support geo-tagging of pics - a nicety allowed by the built-in GPS receiver.
