Nokia 5800 Hitting Vodafone In February
On browsing the new Vodafone online store today I noticed that the Nokia 5800 is now the only phone on the ‘Coming Soon’ section which is great news for the Vodafone customers and those of us who want this amazing device.
Dated ‘February’ which is indeed in Q1 2009 as we were told back at the Smartphone Show in October and as of yet no other network has played an interest in getting the 5800
What is interesting is this phone is a ‘Comes With Music’ capable device so are Vodafone about to jump on the CWM bandwagon or are they going to stick with their own service?
We shall soon see in the next 3 months.

Thanks for the heads up on this. I too wonder if Vodafone will stick to their own when it comes to CWM.

[...] Quasi un mese fa, in una nota ufficiale, la Nokia aveva annunciato che in Italia il 5800 sarebbe arrivato nei primi mesi del 2009. Adesso, almeno per Vodafone UK, abbiamo una data più precisa e cioè febbraio, ma credo che anche in Italia arriverà in questo mese. QUI trovate la pagina “Coming Soon” del sito della Vodafone.

Yes!!!!
Nokia have arrived with this handset!
Im geting it off Voda,i am going to change product code to EURO 1 & put Nokia vanilla firmware onto it straight away !
Then
Everyones a winner!!!
I like the 16:9 aspect ratio of the HD screen (ie.TUBE) for optimum movie playback !
AT LAST THANKYOU NOKIA !
I hear that their is a good chance that it could start shipping the
week before Xmas !
As this would be extremely good for Nokia market shares performance not to mention Vodafone’s !
This is a very important handset release for the mobile industry on a whole !
Xmas sales account for a large turnover !
And Nokias shares took a drop when they hinted it would be a 2009 Q1 release !!!!
Check this superb review out !
Notice the touch text responce times compared to iphone !
