Nokia 5800 Phone

The Nokia 5800 phone is due out in late 2008 and early 2009. True to form, Nokia is already planning on its next groundbreaking smart phone, and rumor has it that this new model is code named the Nokia Eitri.

Rumors such as these are generally true, so if a prototype of the Nokia Eitri is unveiled in early 2009, you can almost plan on a fall 2009 release of the new handset.

So what does this rumored new handset have that the Nokia 5800 does not?

First off, it will be at all touch smart phone that will have a 3.5 inch display. This is an important feature because when it comes to smart phone displays, the more real estate the better. It will contain the same 640 x 350 display as the 5800, and you can bet Eitri would it will have at least 8 GB of memory onboard.

The handset will be in landscape candy bar form with what looks like will contain a QWERTY keyboard. The Nokia Eitri will no doubt have it least a five megapixel camera onboard. It is unknown the extent of video capability will be with this Nokia model.

The handheld touchscreen smart phone market is heating up at a blistering pace. The moment that any of these companies such as Nokia, Apple, or Research in Motion unveils their next smart phone marvel, they must be in full swing in hyping the next up-and-coming model.

Whoever said it was easy to be a smart phone manufacturer?

Just wait - every phone on the market will soon be a touchscreen, and we can all thank Steve Jobs and the Apple iPhone for ushering us into what is turning out to be an exciting and continuous rollout of fabulous handset technology. Only time will tell if the Nokia Eitri makes it to the marketplace unscathed into its rumored form. Stay tuned!
