UPDATE: The 5800 will ship with “Comes with Music” which will give owners unlimited downloads from Nokia’s Music Store for free for 12 months.
UPDATE: I have now seen information confirming that Virgin will be taking the 5800 but no date has been given, though it’s looking like March.
Word has it that Nokia’s first touchscreen handset, the 5800 “Tube” should land on our shores anytime in Q1 of this year. It is also believed that the handset will be avaiable on both Optus and Three with the possiblity of Vodafone signing on before a firm shipping date is announced.
thank you;) very much… very good
Hi,
I was just wondering if you have had any further updates on the arrival of the 5800?
Do you know if it is going to be Nextg compatible and not just 3G??
Hi Lyle, At this stage i would say that only a 2100/900mhz version will be available at launch. A 850mhz variant (Next G) of the handset is made by Nokia but i doubt it will be available at launch and also if and when it is picked up by Telstra i would say the pricing would be ridiculous.
Thanks for the comment.

Hi Ducapi, Unfortunately not it is still slated for release anywhere from now until April, it is expected to launch next month and i have heard that all carriers will be taking it. It will also ship with “Come with Music” which will give owners unlimited music downloads from Nokia’s Music Store free for 12 months.
