Ageing is a terrible thing. Just ask, well, anyone who’s really old. There tell you. Once they’ve finished dribbling into a bucket and wetting themselves.

But even before all that nastiness other terrible things happen. You can’t leer at girls and get away with it any more. Or, more accurately, you can’t leer at girls without the police being called, whereas before they just used to punch you. Then there’s hair loss. Then there’s immovable beer bellies. Then there’s the sudden realisation that you’re just not cool any more.

And, a bit like how dogs age far quicker than humans, the Nokia 5800 has already reached its middle age, less than a year after it was first released. How do we know this? Well, the Nokia 5800 Navigation edition is about to be released, and gone is the XpressMusic tag. That’s not to say this thing doesn’t still play music really really well (it does), it’s just that – like your dad and his fancy stereo – it’s just better that we don’t mention it. Instead, Nokia want the Nokia 5800 Navigator edition to be all about that most middle-aged of things: driving to destinations efficiently and in a timely manner, avoiding all queues and possibly stopping at a service station or quaint pub to enjoy a pint of bitter and some kind of pie. Because the 580o Navigation Edition comes pre-installed not only with Nokia Maps, but with lifetime license for voice-guided Drive and Walk navigation for your region.

Obviously you’ll be paying for these licenses via your contract, or in whatever price you pay for a pay-as-you-go version, but it’ll work out cheaper than if you were to pay for them separately. So, no need for a separate GPS to plan those trips to your caravan in Aberystwyth. Whoop-de-******-do.

Sound good to you? Then have a little look at this Nokjia 5800 navigation review. Or at this official page. Or… oh, who are we kidding. No one who’s old enough to appreciate this even reads blogs, right?
