About a week ago, Nokia has launched the 5800 XpressMusic, codenamed the Tube, and the handset was supposed to compete against the iPhone thanks to its big touchscreen. However, Nokia can’t possibly think that they can dethrone Apple’s iPhone as the Tube is not a smartphone.
I’m aware that besides 3.2-inch 640×360 touchscreen, the 5800 XpressMusic also features GPS, WiFi, 3.2-megapixel camera, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, 8GB card, and an expandable MicroSD card slot. The Tube comes in blue, red, and black for a price of $390 unlocked.
However, we are not here to discuss its specs, we are here because Britney Spears is back with a new video called “Womanizer” and what did we see there? The new Nokia 5800 XpressMusic! The handset appears during breakfast when Britney’s “lover” check his calendar, and when this lover tries to take a picture of her’s while she photocopies her posterior. Check out the video below the post!
Well, I really appreciate that the Tube is being noticed and hopefully, it will meet its expectations, and I have to say that I would love to see Nokia 5800 XpressMusic in a blockbuster movie.

The Tube runs the OS S60. It can’t, in any possible way, be more smartphone than that. iPhone on the other hand has software limitations that make it questionable whether it is a smartphone or not. The debate goes on. Besides, the limited specs of the iPhone makes it more of a (very nice) toy. The Nokia 5800 is a full featured smartphone with the latest technology.
