Nokia 5800 XpressMusic now Comes with Music in the UK

[steaner]

Today Nokia announced that their first full touchphone - the 5800 XpressMusic will be available with Comes with Music exclusively to Orange UK customers. The really sweet part is that the 5800 in question has the exclusive black and silver color combo if you choose the deal.
It seems like the right thing to do for Nokia bundling one of their most popular handsets recently with a service that went off to a pretty miserable start. While Comes with Music has enjoyed better times in some of the other countries where it's available, it hasn't received what one would call a warm welcome in the UK.
On the other hand the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic has been selling like hot cakes, totaling 2.6 million for the first three months of its existence. Now both Nokia and Orange are hoping that the addition of the Comes with Music service, which offers free access to over 6 million tracks, to the customers will make it even more popular.
Users will be able to download as much music as they like over the course of the two year contract. With price plans starting from 25 pounds (28 euro) per month and including the handset for free, Orange will offer the Nokia 5800 and Comes with Music package, starting from May 29. Sounds like a bargain to music lovers, right?

It's really getting popular in India but the customers are rapidly changing their interest in other Company Handsets Like Samsung, LG etc because the same features are also available in those handsets and they are few 1000 bugs cheaper, but for those who believe in the quality, the only thing of communication and entertainment for those people gives this handset a priority. The other thing that sets off the 5800XM market in India is that all its accesories (including free songs) are not available even in the capital city of the country, however a DVD is available with the purchase of the handset. Considering the resolution, its really great but it is not easy to get directly a 360 x 640 res. video, for example when i download a video from youtube i convert the flv file to Mp4 and then i again convert the same file to set and change it into the required resolution mode.

For business purpose it is a lousy piece. For just listening to music and video it looks like a great piece. General phone operation is not user friendly. Email and web browsing too cumbersome. Emails do not get deleted. Very slow. Most third party softwares like dictionary do not work. Typing is lousy. Keyboard is bad. You need to type twice sometimes - too much of a hassle
