Nokia's got a plan to sway a few potential iPhone buyers and it's called the 5800 Xpressmusic.
With touch screen technology, the 5800 XpressMusic introduces the Media Bar, a drop down menu for access to music and entertainment such as tracks, videos and photos.
With a single touch, users can track a digital history of recent text messages, emails, phone logs, photos and blog updates.
The 3.2-inch widescreen display offers up a 16 by 9 aspect ratio and 30 frames-per-second playback and recording. It features a 3.2-megapixel camera with carl zeiss lens.
Additional features include a virtual alphanumeric keypad, a virtual computer-style QWERTY keyboard, a pen stylus and a plectrum.
The music player includes a graphic equalizer, 8GB memory for up to 6000 tracks, a 3.5mm jack and support for digital music formats and built-in surround sound speakers.
The Finnish cell phone maker hopes to tap looking for a feature set and slim appeal of the iPhone without the steep hardware cost and will sell the 5800 XpressMusic for $395 or free from operators when signing up for a contract.

All of this new technology just totally blows me away with these phones. I do good to be able to just send a text message so maybe I need to get more up to date with this new phone. What do you think?

For a mid-range music phone with touch, though, the 5800 is pretty well equipped: 640×360 touchscreen with haptic response, Wi-Fi, A-GPS, 3G on the 850/1900 MHz band (works with AT&T here in the States), 3.2MP camera with Zeiss lens, and an 8GB microSD card for music in the box. But while the touchscreen is sharp and bright, it’s resistive rather than capacitive, which means instead of accurately picking up the light zap of electricity from your fingertips, it registers where two thin layers of the screen get pushed together under your finger.
