Just a few short days after we learned the release details for the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic here in the US, Nokia dropped a little Valentine’s Day surprise on us all. As of today, the 5800 is available for pre-order on Nokia’s site and the price is indeed $399. But wait! Nokia also launched a Valentine’s Day promo to go along with it, giving buyers a 10% discount on any single item purchased or 15% off the total order when two or more items are purchased. In other words, the 5800 will run you $359.10 if you pre-order it today on its own. Throw in another handset or even an accessory such as a Bluetooth headset and you’re looking at $339.15 – not bad at all. Nokia is also offering free shipping on V-Day orders so if you’re thinking about forking over some cash for a Nokia handset in the near future, today is your day. Of course you’ll still have to wait until the handset is officially launched in the US before your 5800 will ship (on or around February 26th), but once it’s in stock you should receive a shipping notification the same day. Any takers?

Thanks, Rich!

    Of all people, I thought I’d be the first person to jump on this, but the gap between the Euro launch and this version has been too long. I’ve been waiting 3 months for 3G, another 3 for the N97 doesn’t seem so long now. If anything, I’m more interested in offloading my Euro 5800XM before it loses its value anymore than it already has.

    Nokia needs to get their shit together when it comes to releasing Euro and NAM versions.

    Got me a 5800… I’m just a bit mad at the price difference between the Euro and NAM. Why?

    price is higher than the euro counterpart but given the features i would rather spend money on nokia than iphone! besides i strongly opppose paying $30 just for data for iphone as i hve access to wifi everywhere i go. but the most ridiculous and stupidest return policy of nokia will be a deal breaker for me – 15% restocking fees! its about $50-60 and thats how much the difference bet euro and nam version, so i think its worth considering. plus, nokia does not have a store everywhere that u can at least try the phone b4 buying…

    Are these compatible with Verizon?

    NAM market for Nokia is basically charity. Not money maker.

    Are these compatible with Verizon? LOL.

    I ordered one. Hopefully resistive touchscreen is better than in N800.

    I got 5800 for $339.15 dollar when I bought it over the phone (instead of online) without even buying a 2nd handset or accessory. just told the sales agent that I would buy if they give the 15% discount. It worked!!

  • Jim

    Finn or anyone really, is the 5800 compatible with verizon? It might be a dumb question, but im not really tech savvy at all and have no clue. I am currently overseas and thinking about buying one and taking it back to the states with me, would it work?

    Unfortunately the 5800 does not work with verizon. Verizon uses Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA). The 5800 uses Global Systems for Mobile (GSM). This requires a Subscriber Identification Module (sim card) for the 5800 to work. The blackberry Storm for Verizon uses CDMA and has a slot for a GSM simcard so it can be used when your overseas. The only drawback to the Storm is the lack of Wireless Fidelity (WIFI)
