True Nokia lovers like me who always wanted a touchscreen phone without loosing the Nokia User-Interface & features can rejoice now as their wait is finally over with the Nokia Tube/Nokia 5800:

Formerly known as Nokia Tube, the first S60 handset to feature touchscreen technology will run on the new edition of the OS – Symbian S60 Taco 5.0. Despite packing a generous 3.2-inch screen with the exciting widescreen resolution of 640 x 360 pixels Nokia 5800 XpressMusic will be more of an upper midrange than a high-end device. It will come complete with a 3.2 megapixel autofocus shooter, and will be able to capture videos at up to VGA resolution at 30 fps.

The Nokia 5800 will measure 111 x 52 x 15.5mm and will come with quad-band GSM support and 3G with HSDPA. The weight is also quite acceptable, standing at 109 grams. Some of the other extras include: GPS, 3.5mm standard audio jack, TV-out and a microSD card slot. According to the reviewer the handset will also have an 8GB card included in the retail package.
