We’re still trying get used to the idea of a Palm smartphone with the right stuff to compete with the most
popular smartphones on market. More on that here and here.
But, CES 2009 Las Vegas isn’t all about Palm (NSDQ: PALM). Nestled in the heart of the Las Vegas Convention Center, we happened to come across Nokia (NYSE: NOK)’s impressively designed booth. Well, actually, it would be more appropriate to refer to it as a veritable island of mobile goodness. Nokia was one of the few dedicated mobile phone manufacturers on hand at CES 2009 to show off their snazzy wares, and we couldn’t have been happier to find their booth.
Nokia was showing off their Ovi and other web-based services, and had some really impressive demonstrations. What caught our eye, however, was the Nokia 5800 XPressMusic “Tube” sitting all nonchalant between other music-phones. The handset is svelte, maybe a little too light. But, that doesn’t really matter. The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is an impressive music-phone.
Even better, the touchscreen and S60 Touch UI make the 5800 XpressMusic a fun handset to use. Say what you will, touchscreens are just more fun – call the 5800 XpressMusic the lone blonde in Nokia’s lineup. And, with a 3.2 megapixel Carl Zeiss camera, 3G data connection, and WiFi radio tucked under the hood, the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is no slouch where it counts.

And… let’s not forget, gps.
No sign of the N97?
What a pitty.

the 5800 is great, i own one. But the Pre has blown every other OS out of the water this year and Nokia have ALOT of work to do.
So yes i think the Pre deserves alot of coverage and a rocketship of its own.
