Just like the iPhone, Nokia 5800 XpressMusic ‘Tube’ won’t have 3G or Wi-Fi enabled when it makes its way to China, which pretty much negates any reasons that customers might have to want one. The 3G exclusion can at least be blamed on China’s lack of coverage, but disabling Wi-Fi on every new phone just doesn’t make sense. All China’s regular internet traffic is filtered anyway, so regulators either have a crucial misunderstanding of what Wi-Fi is or a serious problem with people enjoying things. [Nokia – Thanks, Lauri!]
