We already caught sight of one early review of Nokia's 5800 XpressMusic handset a little while back, but if you're looking for something more to whet your appetite you may want to head on over to All About Symbian, which has an expectedly exhaustive look at the touchscreen phone. That naturally includes plenty of pics of the device and its interface, although the site is reserving its final conclusion for part two of the review, which is promised "soon." That's not to say there aren't plenty of impressions to be found though, including word that the device's build quality seems solid despite its plastic construction, and that the device's resistive touchscreen is "extremely good" compared to other resistive touchscreens (it also seems to have been improved compared to earlier Tube pre-production models). Still on the fence? Then hit up the read link below for more.

Nokia's really falling behind. Specs aren't great & release time is infinite. Samsung's taking over the upper echelon of phones.
I'm a big S60 fan & they've even got me covered on that one now.
Only a matter of time before we start seeing the sad faces on their entries like Motorola unless they get their act together.
Development stopped @ the N95.

The specs aren't great?? Compared to what? This is basically Nokia's entry-level touchscreen smartphone. It compares competitively with everyone else's premium touchscreen smartphones, and totally embarrasses the iPhone, all for about $349 unsubsidized! Compare that to the iPhone's $695, the XPeria1's $1000, and the touch Blackberry, which I'm sure will exceed $500. Besides the X1's better screen, I'd take this device over any of those. But I'm just an S60 fanboy...
