Trademark crullers over in Finland have unearthed a somewhat obvious but nevertheless interesting find in the Nokia camp this weekend. Mainly, the discovery was made that the “X” line of Nokia smartphones will be soon part of an “XSeries” line. More »

Even if it’s packaged as yet another Guitar Hero clone, it’s always nice to see multitouch appear where it wasn’t meant to. The Nokia 5800 is the latest device to cave to multi-finger temptations.
After only seven hours of availability, the recently released Nokia 5800 XpressMusic has been yanked from the Nokia flagship store in NYC, apparently due to widespread 3G network access issues. Update.
The flashy Nokia 5800 XpressMusic all the pop stars were into popped up on the FCC’s site with a nice little treat: built-in 3G support for its US release.
The rumour currently running around about the Nokia 5160 XpressMusic is that T-Mobile has recalled it. That’s not quite true. It’s stopping sales of the phone because a “defective component” is causing the LED in some units to go blank. If you’ve bought one and it’s going all seizure-y on you, you gotta take it back to the T-Mobile store to “discuss available options.”
After making an appearance in a recent Britney Spears video, and showing up again in Christina Aguilera’s video for “Keeps Gettin’ Better” (about 1:07 in), Nokia’s marketing strategy regarding their new 5800 XpressMusic is becoming pretty clear. At least this time the singer can actually, you know…sing. Hit the jump to check out a couple of stills.
After Nokia set its first touchscreen phone, the 5800 XpressMusic, into the wild, one executive teased that they will be launching a new touchscreen smart phone for the N-series, wedged neatly between the iPhone and Blackberry Storm. “We will have a lot of touch screen phones coming up, including an N-series device very soon,” Nokia India’s Marketing Director Devinder Kishore said. Although official details and release dates have yet to be announced, the new touchscreen is rumoured to hit the markets early 2009. [Cell Passion via IntoMobile]
