If you happen to be a Nokia fanboy, like I am, you will definitely be interested in the following update as to the exact date the Nokia 5800 (The “Nokia Tube”) will be launched.

After being put on hold for quite some time (a year and a half, to be exact), some “unknown yet reliable” source has revealed its launching date will be October 2, 2008, just as Reuters had reported. It may or may not be true, but let’s just keep our fingers crossed! (Hey, it’s Reuters reporting it. We should be able to place a certain degree of trust on that information!). Nokia may not be the earliest to jump on the touchscreen-mobile-phones bandwagon, but it certainly isn’t late because there is still demand for touchscreen phones, as can be seen from the craze surrounding the Apple, LG, and Samsung touchscreen phones.

A fellow contributor hasspeculated on the Nokia 5800 a few months back, so it might be worth reading up on it. Also, the newest photo of what the Nokia 5800 might look like is displayed at the top of this post. (Thanks to mobil.cz for the image)
