The colourful, multi-functional Apple iPhone has proven itself as an instant hit in the high-end phone market all over the world thereby challenging other mobile handset makers like Nokia to come up with such products. Nokia, the world’s largest mobile phone manufacture has announced to launch a new iPhone like product named ‘Nokia 5800 Tube’.
The new Nokia 5800 Tube is designed accordingly to the shape and size of iPhone with similar functionalities and certainly it is expected to further give a boost to the mass adoption of mobile internet. The Nokia Tube is designed to run on the lately developed Symbian operating system, the S60.
The company has not disclosed much about the device but mentioned that it would come with a iPhone like tilt touch screen with ‘3G’ or higher ‘G’ features and of course a camera with a minimum of 3.2 megapixel plus auto-focus.
As per speculations the phone would have a 3.2-inch touch screen having 16 million colours in comparison to the 3.5-inch multi-touch display of Apple’s iPhone.
On software application, Nokia Tube is expected to come handy with Java and flash support on its web browser, which iPhone has been reluctant to add on its Safari browser.
Nokia’s Tube is expected to have Wi-Fi or 3G HSDPA connectivity with Bluetooth 2.0 and even GPS. As per expectation it is also most likely to enable with a 3.5mm headphone jack and TV-output port for a wide-screen view.
As of now there is not much compliance about Nokia 5800 Tube’s price, availability and launch date. It is expected to be released somewhere in the last quarter of 2008.
However, it would be interesting to wait and watch the response of Apple as it is most likely that it may come with another more advanced 3G product by 2009 but considering the market share of Nokia this should not be an issue for the company.
Nokia 5800 Tube specifications
* 3.2-inch touchscreen display with 16 Million colors (Tactile Feedback) * 3.2 megapixel camera plus autofocus * Quad-band (850/900/1800/1900Mhz) GSM/EDGE radio o 3G UMTS/HSDPA * Bluetooth 2.0 * WiFi * GPS * 3.5mm headphone jack, TV-out port * 140MB on-board storage * First device powered with S60 touch

April 13, 2008 at 12:00 AMNokia is getting worst, its market value is degrading in INDIA as the quality is getting bad and bad.
Nokia will soon loose its market value.The batteries are poor and the software are also not upto the mark.

April 11, 2008 at 12:00 AMNokia's market share consists of free junk phones and a few smart phones. Until they release sales figures for their N series, a true comparison cannot be made with the iPhone in terms of market share.
Nokia's phone is best. I have observed NOKIA's modem is best in terms of performance, radiation health safety, receiver sensitivity, baterry power. That's why industry uses Nokia phone as reference to design/test thier phone against that. Do not use any non-standard phone from un-branded companies- which may not reduce only battery life, but also reduce your life too, as the radiation leakage can cause many health issues.
