Looks like the Nokia 5800 will be part of the XpressMusic line of phones, which include luminaries like the 5310. At least according to the leak by the Chinese peeps, though why the new moniker “XpressMedia” wasn’t used will be a question.
According to the source, The upcoming Nokia 5800 XpressMusic phone feature:
- A 640 x 360 (16:9) 3.2″ 16-million color display
- the Symbian S60 “5th Edition” OS
- An accelerometer for auto screen rotation
- A 3 megapixel camera with Carl-Zeiss lens dual LED flash
- some GPS, WiFi (b/g), and Bluetooth 2.0
- a 3.5mm jack for audio and video output (includes TV-out!)
- 140MB of internal memory
- a microSD that accepts up to 8GB (SDHC)
- 1320mAh of battery power via the Nokia BL-5J. W00t!
- a length of 115mm, width of 52mm, thickness of 14.55mm, and a weight of 104 grams

This was the phone featured on The Dark Knight.
Sounds like a very multimedia orientated handheld device to be honest. But how much does it steer away from the multimedia likes of N95 or the Sony Ericssons walkman series (apart from the evident better quality low frequency sounds)?
