Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is a Symbian smartphone from Nokia as part of the XpressMusic line. It was unveiled on 2 October 2008 in London and started shipping in November of that year, marking the company's first mainstream phone with a touchscreen. The Nokia 5800 was the first device to run S60 5th Edition (later referred to as Symbian^1), designed as a touch-specific version of the S60 platform which was otherwise originally built for use using a traditional D-pad and keypad.
Positioned as a mid-range offering, Nokia 5800 XpressMusic has a 3.2-inch display with a resolution of 640x360 pixels. The 16:9 aspect ratio display was the first among mobile phones. The resistive touchscreen features tactile feedback, though it does not use Nokia's Haptikos technology. While rich in multimedia, it also had many features standard to the flagship Nokia Nseries, such as GPS, HSDPA and Wi-Fi support. The S60 5th Edition interface has a compatibility mode for S60 3rd Edition software as well as Java applications, that are not touchscreen-aware, using virtual keys on-screen.
Code-named "Tube", it was a highly anticipated device in 2008 and went on to become a commercial success with 8 million units sold a year after release, becoming the firm's first major smartphone hit in almost two years since the Nokia N95 debuted. The Nokia 5800 was praised for its supplied stylus and affordability, but was viewed negatively by critics for its camera and software issues. Nokia supported the 5800 with firmware updates until 2011.
