Anil Mahajan, Head of Business Development, CGC, announced the unveiling of the much awaited phone in Qatar.

He said:

"Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is made to connect people through the one thing we all are universally connected to - music. People across the world enjoy music differently.

Moreover, through this phone, Nokia has triumphed to meet the needs of consumers who want touch screen facilities as well as other user-friendly features in one device."

Media Bar, Contacts Bar - Putting People First:

Taking advantage of touch screen technology, Nokia 5800 XpressMusic introduces the 'Media Bar', a handy drop down menu that provides direct access to music and entertainment, including favourite tracks, videos and photos. The Media Bar also offers a direct link to the Web and to online sharing. As Nokia 5800 XpressMusic supports Flash content, individuals can surf the entire web, not just pieces of it. Additionally, Nokia 5800 XpressMusic offers all the music essentials, including a graphic equalizer, 8GB memory for up to 6000 tracks and support for all main digital music formats, and a 3.5mm jack. Built-in surround sound stereo speakers offer the industry's most powerful sound.

Ensuring a seamless music experience, Nokia 5800 XpressMusic also provides easy access to browse and purchase tracks from the Nokia Music Store, where applicable, while the newly updated Nokia Music PC software allows for easy drag-and-drop transfer of songs and management of any music collection.

The innovative 'Contacts Bar' lets consumers highlight four favorite contacts on their home-screen and, through a single touch, track a digital history of recent text messages, emails, phone logs, photos and blog updates.

For the best screen resolution available on a mobile phone, the 3.2 inch widescreen display brings photos, video clips and web content to life in vibrant color and true clarity. With a 16 by 9 aspect ratio and 30 frames-per-second playback and recording, the phone is ideal for VGA quality video recording and playback.

Nokia 5800 XpressMusic also features a 3.2 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss lens and, with a single touch, images or videos can be shared via a favorite online community, such as Share on Ovi, Flickr, or Facebook. Music playlist song titles can also be shared through Bluetooth, MMS or online sharing.

Music for the Masses:

Nokia 5800 XpressMusic supports 60 languages worldwide, which covers nearly 90% of the world's population. As people around the world use their phones in different ways, Nokia 5800 XpressMusic offers a variety of input methods including a virtual alphanumeric keypad, a virtual computer-style QWERTY keyboard, a pen stylus - and for true music enthusiasts, a plectrum - are all available in one device.
