| - The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is a smartphone and portable entertainment device by Nokia. It was introduced on October 2, 2008 and released on November 27, 2008. Code-named "Tube", it is the first touchscreen-equipped S60 device by Nokia. It's part of the XpressMusic series of phones, which emphasizes music and multimedia playback. The touchscreen features tactile feedback (though it does not use Nokia's Haptikos technology.). The 5800 has a compatibility mode for Java applications that are not touchscreen-aware. It works by using part of the screen for displaying the essential buttons required by the program. On January 23, 2009, Nokia announced it had shipped the millionth 5800 XpressMusic device, even though it still had not been fully released worldwide. In Nokia's Q1 report released on April 16, 2009 it was announced they had shipped 2.6 million units during the quarter, with cumulative shipments of more than 3 million units since the smartphone's launch in late November 2008. Q2 results released July 16, 2009 reports 3.7 million units shipped during the quarter and more than 6.8 million units total have shipped since the release. As of November 2009, over 8 million units had been sold. From firmware V20.0.012 onwards, the 5800's CPU clock was increased from 369 MHz to 434 MHz matching the N97 specification. However, improved overall performance can be observed from firmware V30. On January 13, 2010, Nokia released a major firmware update, version 40.0.005. The update includes bug fixes, speed improvements and new features. The most visible are kinetic scrolling to all menus except the main menu and the applications menu, and an improved home screen, which was first introduced on the Nokia 5530. The new home screen provides a contacts carousel, with up to 20 contacts and program short cuts on screen at the same time. On April 19th 2010, another firmware ( v50.0.005 ) was released to some countries which is still waiting to be released everywhere else in the world. This new major update brought some new goodies just like that in the Nokia n97/n97mini(and Nokia x6) v20/21 like a new Web browser(v7.2) with full kinetic scrolling and auto-full screen while browsing the web; a new music player with mini-album art in the song list and the album list, initial alphabets of the track titles while scrolling using the scroll-bar (note: because of this the search feature is removed from the player); a new application - "Ovi sync"; music store is renamed as "Ovi music" and the interface in revamped; Quick Office v4.2.374 is integrated now (full free license); Search application's icon has changed; and a few more minor updates for better touch sensitivity and tweaks for faster operation of the phone.
