Nokia 5800 and Nokia N97 - an Unbeatable Combo

The world of touchscreen mobile phones is starting to get exciting, as the most recognised brand in the business has announced not one, but TWO mobile phones: the sleek Nokia 5800 and the totally mind-blowing Nokia N97.

Early Nokia touchscreens

A lot of people seem to be under the incorrect impression that the Nokia 5800 is the first ever touchscreen mobile phone to come from the Finnish manufacturer. It's not. The opposite's true, because there's been a few touchy-feely phones released under the Nokia brand. Beginning with the 7700, the world has seen a few Nokia mobile phones which work by you prodding and poking the screen.

They all had reasonably big (for their time) screens, but unfortunately, they shared something else: they were unbearably hideous. Just one of those mobile phones, the 6708, displayed a modicum promise, but that was destined solely to be sold in China, and so, it wasn't meant for us in these sceptred isles. Unfortunately, that meant that the phones we got were total, utter toss.

However, these unpleasant memories have all been exorcised due to the launch of a pair of new Nokia mobile phones, both of which have touchscreens, and both of which are much, much more alluring...

Nokia 5800 - a piece of art

The first phone up is a brand new member of Nokia's Xpress range of music mobile phones, the stunning Nokia 5800. This phone is pretty obviously designed for music and media, as it has a dedicated XpressMusic button which opens a list of links to music, videos, the web, and more.

Oh, and the Nokia 5800 has a 3.2 inch touchscreen, to let you use those different media files. Basically, the Nokia 5800 was designed to be a little handheld jukebox and movie player, and as music phones go, this is easily one of the sweetest. The Nokia 5800 also has, built-in, a 3 megapixel camera, HSDPA data connection and GPS, making it a brilliant all-round mobile phone, as well as a brilliant media player. Oh, and it has a lanyard to attach a fake guitar pick. Pointless, but brilliant.

Despite all those features, the Nokia 5800 is very definitely a mid-range device; it isn't, nor will it ever be, a full-on top-ender. That role falls to another mobile...

Nokia N97 - more powerful than Mexico...

With the Nokia 5800 on track to bring touchscreen mobile phones to the mid-range market, that leaves a massive gap at the absolute top-end, and yes, there IS a touch-based mobile phone coming soon to take its place as the top-end powerhouse: the utterly jaw-dropping Nokia N97. This uses the same Symbian S60 Touch operating system and crams it inside the body of a proper, full-on smartphone. Which means it has an even more huge, 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 really is as hyper-powered as the rumours had us believe, with HSDPA, GPS, digital compass, and integrated Flash, so that you get an internet experience that tops any other mobile phones! Put it like this: the Nokia N97 is unbelievable. It easily outdoes other mobile phones and as the 5800 aims firmly for the mid-range, I reckon that the Nokia N97 will totally DOMINATE the world in 2009!
