Espoo - Nokia announced today that it has shipped the millionth Nokia 5800 XpressMusic device, a milestone that coincides with the successful sales start of the device in the UK. The latest in Nokia's XpressMusic range, the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is the company's first mass market touch screen device.

Following its introduction in October 2008, the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic has seen successful sales starts in a number of markets, including Hong Kong and Moscow where the device sold out within hours of the sales start. Earlier today at the official sales start of the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic in the UK, more than 150 customers queued outside the Nokia Flagship Store on London's Regent Street to be among the first to own the device.

"The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic has been received very positively and this milestone is just further proof that people all over the world want a device that is not only a great music experience, but also makes the most of touch screen technology," said Jo Harlow, Vice President, Nokia.

The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic offers a complete music experience and features a number of music and entertainment essentials, including a graphic equalizer, 8GB memory for up to 6000 tracks, support for all main digital music formats, and a 3.5mm jack. Built-in surround sound stereo speakers offer the industry's most powerful sound.

For the best screen resolution available on a mobile phone, the 3.2" widescreen display brings photos, video clips and web content to life in vibrant color and true clarity. With a 16 by 9 aspect ratio and 30 frames-per-second playback and recording, 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 and, with a single touch, images or videos can be shared via a favorite online community, such as Share on Ovi, Flickr, or Facebook.

The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic continues to roll out in additional markets through 2009. For additional information, please visit http://europe.nokia.com/A41271008

They bloody improve their production standards...and then focus on shipping one million phones...

There's this weird speakerphone problem this phone has..where the volume during calls keeps on going up and down...sometimes you just cant hear the other guy talking..

I thought i was only one..but then searched on google and found several others facing the same problem...

You better fix this nokia...or soon there'll be articles of one million faulty 5800's...

Ha ha. Go to mobiletoday.co.uk for the real story on how this service has been a total and utter washout.

Really guys. . . don't believe everything you read in the papers. I thought you knew that by now! Since when has the word 'shipped' meant the same as 'bought'.

GUCCI.011? I'm surprised at you.

I remember when you used to be nice.

Read the title of the thread again.

yeah its not really hard to know the difference between shipped and sold. well, it seems it is a little hard for some people here.

so they have shipped 1 million. who cares? doesnt mean they have sold them all.
