NOKIA's I(like)PHONE
For years, Nokia has shied away from cellphones with large touch screens. Keypads and keyboards seemed to be in the company’s DNA, resulting in a number of phones that look about the same. Now, however, Nokia is ready to expand its music line with a phone that looks suspiciously like a phone that begins with the letter “I.”
The 5800, available near the end of the year , includes an eight-gigabyte memory card and is compatible with Windows Media Player and Nokia Music Store files. A resident PC application allows you to rip CDs to the phone automatically, and it includes a free year of Nokia’s Comes With Music download service.
The 3.2-inch touch screen offers both virtual keyboard and pen-input mode (included are a stylus and an accessory shaped like a guitar pick for swiping through photos and music). Also included is a 3.2-megapixel camera and a built-in GPS receiver.
The 5800 can connect to 3G and Wi-Fi networks and has special social networking features including adding “feeds” for four of your favorite contacts, allowing you to view Twitter and Facebook updates right under their pictures. As the song says: You’ll never walk alone.
