After it’s supposed debut in the box office hit “The Dark Knight,” the Nokia XpressMedia 5800 Tube has been caught in the wild again.  Nokia has not released any official information on this slick looking handset, but it looks like it just might be a dandy of a phone.

Nokia 5800 Tube Specs

According to intomobile.com, the latest of Nokia’s lineup will be shipped in late 2008 as the Nokia 5800 Tube and will show-off a 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus.  It will also include a 3.2-inch touchscreen display with 16 million colors, which is slightly less than its competitor’s iPhone screen with a 3.5-inch multi-touch display.  As far as communication goes, the Nokia Tube will have a quad-band GSM/EDGE radio with 3G UMTS/HSDPA.  Pair this up with Bluetooth 2.0, WiFi, and some GPS navigation and you will be home free.

And as far as the little extras go … there are plenty of them.  A 3.5 mm headphone jack and TV-out port is included with along with the ability to “geo-tag” pics.  Nokia is putting out a great phone with the Nokia 5800 Tube, but they aren’t considering it their “flagship device.”

Will It Compete?

I think that the Nokia 5800 Tube phone will be a great smartphone for people who want a great device, without all of the “extras.”  This phone has some good specs, but still may not be able to compete with the Apple iPhone 3G or a new BlackBerry device.  Nokia continues to push out new phones and are consistently a good option for any tech device … so my prediction for the late 2008 release of this phone is that you won’t be disappointed.
