Nokia's New Hope - the 5800 and the N97

Prepare to be excited; the biggest face in the industry has announced not one, but TWO new touchscreen mobile phones: the sexy Nokia 5800 and the completely awesome Nokia N97.

Nokia 5800 - sound off!

The first phone on the list is a completely new member of Nokia's Xpress range of music mobile phones, the stunning Nokia 5800. This phone is quite obviously made for music and video; you can tell by the dedicated XpressMusic touch-key which brings up a list of links to music, videos, the web, and more. Then, of course, the Nokia 5800 has a 3.2 inch touch-sensitive display, to let you muck about with all your media files. Basically, the Nokia 5800 was created to be a little handheld entertainment centre, and as music devices go, this is easily one of the sexiest. The Nokia 5800 also has, built-in, a 3 megapixel camera, HSDPA data connection and sat-nav, making it a wonderful all-round mobile phone, as well as a brilliant media box. Oh, and it's got a lanyard to attach an imitation guitar pick. That's pretty cool, that.

Despite all those features, the Nokia 5800 is very definitely a mid-range phone; it's not, nor will it ever be, an absolute powerhouse. That job goes to a different phone...

Nokia N97 - raw power, pure desirability

With the Nokia 5800 all set to bring touch-based mobile phones to the mid-range market, that leaves a huge, yawning gap at the absolute top-end, and yes, there IS a touchscreen mobile phone on its way to fill that gap: the genuinely mind-blowing Nokia N97. This takes the same Symbian S60 Touch operating system and crams it into the frame of a proper, full-on smartphone. Which means it has a bigger, 3.5 inch screen, a flip out QWERTY keypad, and the camera's been upgraded to 5 megapixels. The Nokia N97 is, in a very definite way, destined to be the new flagship Nseries mobile phone, and it's genuinely as powerful as the rumours had us believe, with HSDPA, GPS, digital compass, and built-in Flash, so that you get an internet experience that tops any other mobile phones! Put it like this: the Nokia N97 is awesome. It gleefully relieves itself over other mobile phones and while the 5800 angles to take over the mid-range, I'm predicting that the Nokia N97 will completely DOMINATE the world next year!
