The Nokia 5800 is a smartphone and portable entertainment device by Nokia. Code-named the "Tube," it is the first touchscreen-equipped S60 device by Nokia. It's part of the XpressMusic series of phones, which emphasizes music and multimedia playback. The touchscreen features tactile feedback (though it doesn't utilize Nokia's upcoming Haptikos technology.).
The 5800 has a compatibility mode for Java applications that are not touchscreen-aware. It works by using part of the screen for displaying the essential buttons required by the program.
On January 23 2009, Nokia announced it had shipped the millionth 5800 XpressMusic device, even though it still had not been fully released worldwide. In Nokia's Q1 report released on April 16, 2009 it was announced they had shipped 2.6 million units during the quarter, with cumulative shipments of more than 3 million units since the smartphone's launch in late November 2008. Q2 results released July 16, 2009 reports 3.7 million units shipped during the quarter and more than 6.8 million units total have shipped since the release.
After firmware V20, the 5800 Xpress Music has a higher CPU speed from 369 MHz to 434 MHz to match Nokia 5530 and N97 specification. However, huge improved overall performance can be observed at firmware V30.
