The X6 also has 32GB storage, TV-out and Comes With Music unlimited downloads (delayed to year in U.S). Nokia says the phone will be available by the end of the year for 459 Euros (about $650).

Meanwhile, the X3 will have a 3.2-megapixel camera, FM Radio, integrated stereo speakers, and need to use MicroSD cards for storage (probably a preferable option, anyway). It will be 115 Euros (about $160) when it arrives along with the X6.

The 5530 is, in effect, a smaller, cheaper 5800, and features a 2.9-inch widescreen display, 3.2 megapixel camera with LED flash and a 4GB memory card.

And one last thing to remember: If you do enjoy the look of this phone, know that there is no 3G, only GSM/EDGE (although it does do wi-fi). [Daily Mobile, YouTube via Engadget]

Compared to its none-too-old brother, the E72 will see its camera bumped up to 5 megapixels along with the addition of an integrated compass, an optical navigation key (not unlike the BlackBerry Gemini's) and sensibly a 3.5mm headphone jack. Nokia say the S60 handset features a "desktop like email experience" and will begin shipping third quarter of 2009 for $485 without contract.

Also revealed was the 5530 XpressMusic - essentially a smaller, cheaper 5800 - featuring a 2.9 inch widescreen display, 3.2 megapixel camera with LED flash and a 4GB memory card. The GSM/EDGE phone doesn't use 3G but can at least connect via wifi; it will also be available third quarter of 2009 for around $275 unsubsidized. [Nokia]

A Nokia sales associate said that the phone was available yesterday, but only for a total of seven hours before it was pulled for unspecified reasons. Interested buyers could leave contact info at the store, to be informed at a later time about availability.

No word on what's to happen with online pre-orders, so if you've received one, or are waiting to receive one, let us know.

Update: Engadget reports that the Nokia 5800 has been taken from shelves, and will be replaced with the European version until further notice.

Update #2: Word on the street now is that "millions" of Nokia 5800 XpressMusic handsets could be affected by any number of issues. Topping the list is the 3G connectivity issue, as well as a speaker problem that allegedly "breaks" about a million units, according to MobileCrunch.

The folks at Nokia Experts are already calling the U.S. 5800 XpressMusic launch a "fiasco." [The Nokia Blog - Thanks, Mark!]

Nokia's first all-touch Symbian phone underwhelmed us when we first saw it back in October of last year, which is why its initial rollout happened in Europe (where it sells for $350, natch). The $399 here is unsubsidized, and carriers here don't exactly have a reputation for picking up medium- to high-end Nokia phones.

We asked Nokia for confirmation, and they were mum, but if you just need to touch a Symbian phone and can't wait for the N97, keep your eyes peeled anyway for the 5800 one later this month, if the rumors are to be believed. [Nokia Blog]

The FCC also shows the manual, which doesn't have many details we weren't already aware of, as well as a bunch of new internal and external pictures. The big draw here is the certainty of 3G support here in the States, as opposed to the 3G-less release it saw in China. But as Engadget points out, the touchscreen phone doesn't have any branding for a US carrier, which suggests it'll be released here unlocked only. That's nice for gadget freedom, but not so nice for pricing. Expect the 5800 to command a pretty high price point when it gets to our shores. [FCC via Engadget]

I won't get into any depth on the song, because this is Gizmodo and when a song only has two words and both of them are "womanizer," it's tough to glean any gadget connection. But the Nokia first makes an appearance at breakfast, when Britney's antagonist checks his calendar to see what kind of womanizing he'll get up to today.
It's pretty obvious product placement when the words "Nokia" glimmer for no reason, but I was too distracted by what he was eating to care:
Okay, a square egg is easy, you can just cut the white into whatever shape you want. But the YOLK is square too! Britney should stop singing and open a restaurant, because that's goddamn amazing. Luckily, all this happens in the first minute so you don't need to sit through the awful inane screeching for too long. [- Thanks, everyone who sent this in]

The 5800 XpressMusic (aka Tube) is the first touchscreen Symbian S60 phone from Nokia—a surprising fact considering how prominent touchscreens have quickly become over the last few years. And instead of rolling out the new touch-specific S60 Fifth Edition on a flagship N-series phone, Nokia has decided to position the 5800 as a music phone for the kiddies, packaging it with their all-you-can-eat (and keep) Comes With Music service. This choice is probably a brilliant one, because after our quick demo, this thing needs a bit more time in the oven before it can stand with the big guys for a touchscreen-only device.

For a mid-range music phone with touch, though, the 5800 is pretty well equipped: 640x360 touchscreen with haptic response, Wi-Fi, A-GPS, 3G on the 850/1900 MHz band (works with AT&T here in the States), 3.2MP camera with Zeiss lens, and an 8GB microSD card for music in the box. But while the touchscreen is sharp and bright, it's resistive rather than capacitive, which means instead of accurately picking up the light zap of electricity from your fingertips, it registers where two thin layers of the screen get pushed together under your finger.

On the prototype we played with briefly, it's much harder to get touches to register, and far less accurate than the iPhone's capacitive screens. The 5800 packs a built-in stylus for this reason—you'll be using it a lot. Text entry can be done with a full-screen QWERTY, a mini-QWERTY for the stylus, T9 on a touch dialpad, or using handwriting recognition w/ stylus. It's almost exactly like what's found on Nokia's touchscreen internet tablets like the N810, which makes sense, since Nokia recently folded the tablet group in with the smartphone folks to help develop touch features for S60 v5.

Other touch-specific additions are a new Contacts bar similar to T-Mobile's myfaves that can replace application shortcuts—giving quick access to calling or texting your four favorite folks, as well as the option to add an RSS feed of that person's blog or Twitter updates. Application menus also appear on a nice translucent overlay in most applications instead of Symbian's usual pop-up lists, making the camera much easier to operate while switching options, for instance. And a dedicated button on the upper right brings up the Media Bar, which gives quick touch access to the music player, camera, contacts, and web browser at any time. If you're used to Symbian's browser, you'll fit right at home with the touch version. Basically touching replaces the scrolling cursor for zooming and scrolling a page. It's a pretty solid experience, although pages still tend to load their mobile versions by default like in S60 v4.

For music the device looks capable—there's a 3.5mm headphone jack thank God, and 8GB of space on the included 8GB microSD. In the States, the 5800's price (which is not yet set, but the Euro version is €279/$389) will include a year of Comes With Music downloads, which can then be kept. Going beyond Nokia's proprietary sync software (for iTunes, etc) will be like in any other Symbian phone—not super convenient. Comes With Music allows you to sync albums grabbed on the web to your device over 3G, though, which is nice.

The 5800 seems like a solid mid-level touch phone for music—especially if Comes With Music pans out as a cool service. But don't plan on using this thing for heavy emailing or texting—you'll probably be using T9 text entry with the touch dialpad or the stylus for most of your text entry unless you have the patience of a monk, which kind of defeats the point for an all-touch device these days. Look for it hitting before the end of the year for an as-yet-undisclosed price.

Nokia 5610 XpressMusic Rocks on to the Scene with T-Mobile USA
New black and silver Nokia 5310 XpressMusic also joins the XpressMusic family

NEW YORK – August 11, 2008 – Expanding the popular XpressMusic product line, the all-new Nokia 5610 XpressMusic and Nokia 5310 XpressMusic, in a new black finish with silver accents, are available today exclusively in the U.S. from T-Mobile USA. Similar to the Nokia 5310 music features, the Nokia 5610 is outfitted with the most wanted, music-friendly features including easy-to-use external music controls, packaged in a new, compact slider design.

The Nokia 5610 XpressMusic comes ready to rock with an included wired stereo headset, a USB cable for side-loading music and a 2 GB memory card. Its unique music slider key makes accessing music easy with just a flick of the thumb. Aluminum side panels accent the high gloss finish and large 2.2-inch, 16 million color display. Customers can choose from two color options: black with red accents and white with silver side accents.

In addition, the Nokia 5610 XpressMusic delivers crystal clear sound quality, up to 22 hours of music playback and a memory capacity for up to 3,000 songs on an optional 4GB microSD card*. More than just a phone and music player, the Nokia 5610 also features a high-quality 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus and dual LED flash.

Adding to the colorful palette of Nokia 5310 XpressMusic options, the device is now also available in a cool black finish with silver accents. The thin and lightweight Nokia 5310 in silver has all the familiar features of the original device including a music player with dedicated external music controls, stereo Bluetooth connectivity, 2.0 megapixel camera, up to 18 hours of music playback and a memory capacity for up to 3,000 songs* on an optional 4GB microSD card. The new black and silver model joins the line of Nokia 5310 XpressMusic phones already available in three color combinations exclusively from
T-Mobile: black/red, black/purple and black/orange.

“Music is one of many entertainment experiences Nokia offers consumers who enjoy the ease of having a multifunctional device with them wherever they go,” said Frank Vium, Vice President of Sales, Nokia USA. “Now with the addition of the Nokia 5610 XpressMusic phone and the Nokia 5310 XpressMusic phone in black/silver, music lovers across the United States have even more choice – great colors and compelling forms in a sleek package.”

•Dimensions: 3.88 in x 1.91 in x 0.67 inches; 3.92 oz

It looks like Nokia's updated the interface since the last round of leaked pics, but while the new design is cleaner, it's also flat and uninteresting. If Nokia wants even the slightest sliver of possible iPhone users to sit up and take notice, this had better not be the last version of the phone's UI. [Boy Genius]

The 5310 is one of the thinnest candy bar phones I've seen at 9.9mm thick, has a 2MP camera and a 2-inch screen lined with dedicated face buttons for media playback.

And the Symbian 40 phones are fully compatible with the Ovi music store. Though both phones are expensive and supposedly hitting the US, could this be the end of Nokia handsets that look like they were crafted from Legos or Ikea slats. At 300 and 225 Euros each, we're talking about a LOT of American dollars. Either way, they're the most promising Nokia handsets I've seen in a while from the design perspective.

Nokia 5310 XpressMusic - Small in size, big on music With a sleek aluminium finish, the Nokia 5310 XpressMusic phone blends an array of features with an iconic design. At only 9.9mm thick and weighing less than 71 grams, the Nokia 5310 XpressMusic fits comfortably in a pocket or purse. Equally important, the Nokia 5310 XpressMusic offers up to 18 hours of music playback, memory for up to 3,000 songs on an optional 4GB microSD card and dedicated music keys. With a 2-megapixel camera and a bright 2-inch QVGA screen with up to 16 million colors, the Nokia 5310 XpressMusic is expected to begin shipping in the fourth quarter of 2007 with an estimated retail price of 225 EUR before taxes and subsidies.

Nokia 5610 XpressMusic - Edgy design, sharp sound The Nokia 5610 XpressMusic comes ready to rock with an iconic Music Slider key making music easy to access with a flick of the thumb. Aluminum side panels accent the all-black high gloss finish and large 2.2-inch, 16 million color display of the Nokia 5610 XpressMusic. The Nokia 5610 XpressMusic offers crystal clear sound and up to 22 hours of music playback and memory with capacity for 3,000 songs on an optional 4GB microSD card. More than just a phone and music player, the Nokia 5610 XpressMusic features a high-quality 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus and dual LED flash. The Nokia 5610 XpressMusic uses 3G technology, making downloads, web-browsing and video calls faster and easier. The Nokia 5610 XpressMusic is expected to begin shipping in the fourth quarter of 2007 with an estimated retail price of EUR 300 before taxes and subsidies.

Imagine printing this out and taking it to a T-Mobile store and screwing with the employees there. Sure, it's kind of a dick thing to do, but it sure would be funny.

Thanks tipster!

The party itself was just OK. It was entirely too loud for my tastes and the Teddybears, um, stunk.

But here's the story of the night: It seems Peter Rojas of Engadget fame is too cool to wait in line like the rest of us had to. Sure, we were standing in the drizzle for 30 minutes but not Rojas. He just strolls in like he owns the joint. Rojas is a line cutter.
[Ed. Note: It would be a cute story, except there was no line for press. Press events have no lines. I never wait in lines either. Apple Keynotes aside, but even Mossberg and Pogue wait in those. Nicky, was this a line for the bathroom? Because I wait in those all the time. Some people take forever to pee. -B.L. ]

UPDATE: For some who care, it's worth noting that John Biggs of Crunchgear, and Gizmodo Editor Emeritus backs up the story that there was a line, and that Pete did get to waltz in. I still believe that a little line cutting is the kind of system hack that I enjoy. Who has the time? We have gadgets to blog about! -B.L.
UPDATE 2: Actually, it's been confirmed that anyone on the press invite list could have walked into the event directly without standing in line if they'd just talked to the TMO rep on staff that night. This is the stupidest post I've ever been engaged in.-B.L.

There's also a 1.3-megapixel camera, Bluetooth A2DP connectivity, and a sliding design. It's going to be pretty cheap as well—$99 with contract—and comes with MyFaves support. Hmm, this or the iPhone? Tough choices are a'comin. – Jason Chen
