Just yesterday I happened to lay my hands on the unreleased Nokia 5800 during a outing with my friends.
So here is the first hand account about the phone:
Form Factor: It is a big 3.2 inches touchscreen which can offer resolutions upto 640*360. At the bottom, it has three buttons on the front panel - Talk, Main Menu and End. The phone is also very easy on the weight and great to hold it. A good 3.2 mega pixel camera with autofocus.
Interface: The Tube is built on the 5th version of Symbian OS. The OS was very responsive and pretty good for a Nokia phone. The touch screen interface is pretty good but a tad bit slower than its rival iPhone.

Usability: As mentioned above, the touch screen is a bit on the slower side than its counterparts. But it is more than compensated by the brilliant handwriting recognition while typing messages. All the text I wrote using the stylus got converted perfectly in a single attempt. If handwriting recognition is not your type, then you can use the digital QWERTY keyboard built within the phone.
Music and Entertainment: It has a 3.2 megapixel Camera with autofocus and is able to record and playback video recordings.
Tube also features a ‘Media Bar’ drop-down menu for easy access to your favorite media applications such as music, videos, and photos etc.
“Comes with music” service is bundled with Nokia 5800 which provides free unlimited song downloads for one whole year.
Connectivity: It supports Quad-band GSM connectivity with GPRS and EDGE, HSDPA connectivity, internal GPS, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
Price: The price would be supposedly around Rs.18,000 which is a far cry from the highly overpriced iPhone.
