The Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition is a GPS – centric edition of the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, which was unveiled in August via Nokia Conversations. The Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition Reviews have been good, so let’s look under the hood.
Using the leverage provided by the popularity of the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, the phone has all the features that the original edition of the phone has. The looks are also the same, but the biggest difference between both the phones is the awesome car holder and the car charger which enable you to use your phone as a SatNav device for your car, saving you the trouble of having to buy a stand – alone one.
There is another difference which we were able to identify via the data sheet of the phone provided by Nokia. The phone’s colour scheme are different from the red and blue that was available in the original edition of the phone. It will be released in a Black and Chrome colour combination.
The phone is set to be released in 3 different versions. All of them have a common feature in the support for quad – band GSM networks. 2 of the version will also come with 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity while the last one will not have these connectivity options. This is perhaps because the last version is geared towards China or the emerging markets.
However, when we look at the promo video released by Nokia to coincide with the unveiling of the phone, we realize that the problem of the screen’s legibility under direct sunlight persists. This might make you think twice about using the phone as a dedicated GPS device on your car’s dashboard as it would be exposed to direct sunlight during the daytime.
The Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition should be ready to ship during the 3rd quarter of the year for £236 before any subsidies or taxes.
