Even though you can already grab yourself the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic in Nokia Flagship Stores in Chicago and New York, these are not the one you should pursue if you live in the States. The problem is in the 3G frequencies used, which are tailored to work with European 3G networks. Simply put – you won’t have 3G anywhere in North America with this “kind” of Tube.
That may change soon as we’re hearing the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic with AT&T 3G bands (also known as the “NAM” version) will start selling around February 26th. The price is set for $399 and that’s without any contracts signed.
As we haven’t heard anything official from Nokia, we’re hoping there’s some merit to this story, which BTW is coming from The Nokia Blog. And they seem to know what they’re talking about…

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do.
In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
