How the Finns Will Rule the World – Nokia 5800 and Nokia N97

Touchscreen phones are BIG business nowadays, with every manufacturer scrabbling to make them. well, now, the biggest name in the business has waded in with not one, but TWO new touchscreen mobile phones: the svelte Nokia 5800 and the terrifyingly jaw-dropping Nokia N97.

Nokia 5800 – dance the night away

The first phone on the roster is a completely new entrant into Nokia’s Xpress line of music mobile phones, the mouth-watering Nokia 5800. This phone is very obviously designed for music and media, as it has a dedicated XpressMedia button which pops up a list of links to music, videos, the web, and so on. Oh, and the Nokia 5800 has a 3.2 inch touchscreen, to actually play with all your media content. Essentially, the Nokia 5800 was designed to be a little portable jukebox and movie player, and as music handsets go, this is easily one of the sexiest. The Nokia 5800 has also got a 3 megapixel camera, HSDPA data access and sat-nav, making it a wonderful all-rounder, as well as a superb media player. Oh, and it’s got a lanyard to clip on an imitation guitar pick. That’s pretty cool, that.

However, the Nokia 5800 is very definitely a mid-range handset; it isn’t, nor will it ever be, a full-on powerhouse. That role belongs to a separate mobile…

Nokia N97 – is this phone completely unbeatable?

With the Nokia 5800 all set to bring touch-based mobile phones to the mid-range market, that opens up a very big gap at the very top-end, and yes, there IS a touchscreen mobile phone coming soon to fill that gap: the utterly jaw-dropping Nokia N97. This uses the same Symbian S60 Touch interface and packages it within the body of a proper, full-fat smartphone. Which means it has a bigger, 3.5 inch screen, a kick out QWERTY keyboard, and the camera’s been upgraded to 5 megapixels. The Nokia N97 is, obviously, destined to be the new flagship Nseries mobile phone, and it’s genuinely as high-spec as the rumours said, with HSDPA, sat-nav, digital compass, and built-in Flash, meaning you get an internet experience that tops any other mobile phones! Put it like this: the Nokia N97 is simple incredible. It gleefully relieves itself over other mobile phones and while the 5800 angles to take over the mid-range, I reckon that the Nokia N97 will totally DOMINATE the world next year!
