Nokia has announced that the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is now available in the United States.

The latest in Nokia’s XpressMusic range, the 5800 XpressMusic delivers a music device with a touch screen interface to the mass market.

The phone offers the music essentials including a graphic equaliser, 8GB memory for up to 6000 tracks and support for the main digital music formats, and a 3.5mm jack. The phone also has built-in surround sound stereo speakers.

Touch-screen technology has been used to enable easy access to music, video and photos through a one-touch ‘Media Bar’ drop down menu. The Media Bar also offers a direct link to the Web and to online sharing.

Among noteworthy features is a ‘Contacts Bar’ that lets people highlight four favorite contacts on their home-screen and, through a single touch, track a digital history of recent text messages, e-mails, phone logs, photos and blog updates.

The phone boasts of a 3.2″ widescreen display with a 16 by 9 aspect ratio and 30 frames-per-second playback and recording. The company said the device is ideal for VGA quality video recording and playback. The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic also features a 3.2 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss lens. With a touch, images or videos can be shared via a favorite online community, such as Ovi Share, Flickr, or Facebook.
