T-Mobile UK will be offering a special, Chrome coloured (not pictured above, but just imagining what it would look like makes me go ewww), edition of the Nokia 5800 on Sunday, sources tell Mobile Entertainment. The device will be free on a 2 year contract, 30£/month. Note that the Comes with Music subscription only lasts for 1 year, so if you’re picking this up then you better start downloading the second you turn the device on. If you’d rather have the 5800 without Comes with Music, then you’ll only have to pay £15/month. Do yourself a favor: buy an HTC Hero and a 1 year subscription to Spotify. You’ll be a happier person, with a better phone, better music selection, and a better overall experience. Comes with Music has been out for roughly a year and they’ve barely managed to get 110,000 people to sign up. Old devices, limited selection, higher prices, I’m not surprised Nokia is having a hard time getting customers.

    I am affraid you are having hard time finding common sense as nokia is finding 4 out of 10 consumkers – more than 4 next “big names” competitors together

    if you can’t writ without bias – just don’t write

    Hard time finding customers for “Comes with Music”. Not devices.

    Reading comprehension fail.

    And what the fuck is a “consumker”?

    ..this is awesome – I just bought one – I also have an iPod and did use iTunes.. but why bother now.. Example Top 100 Albums on iTunes = £800… Top 100 on the T-Mobile Comes with Music = FREE ….

    not only is this phone is beautiful and easy use.. why carry a phone and an iPod – when you can carry this ONE phone?
