Blogging all about technology, cell phones and the rest of the digital communication age. From reviews to news and industry announcements.

Starting on May 29 Orange and Nokia will launch the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic loaded with the “Comes with Music” service. The new service allows users to download unlimited music from the Music Store. The new service is available for 5 different Nokia mobile phones starting with plans as low as 25 pounds. The songs are currently all locked with DRM technology so you can’t transfer them anywhere. This will be the first time that Orange offers this service in the UK using a carrier.

We know there is a new XpressMusic coming to Nokia’s line but what it will look like is still under speculation. These photos that have leaked out over the Internet could be the answer. This phone is said to be more touch-enabled with a 3G connection and 5 megapixel camera. While these photos could certainly be the new Nokia ExpressMusic 5900 and it would be its first sneak preview or it could just be a another clone out of China. Take a look and you decide.

Chinese manufacturers love taking popular phones and creating cheaper clones of them. They chose the best selling mobile phones on the current market and make a some-what duplicate of them. Right down to the names sometimes. The Nokla 5800 is a budget clone of the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic. It is a full touchscreen phone that has most of the same features of the Nokia but lacks its stylish looks. When searching out clones make sure the replicate all the features you are after. Its usually the handy small stuff that the knocks offs miss in reproduction. Yet they are handy for the pocket book.

The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic was pulled just one week after it hit the store shelves. There was no specific problem officially listed at the time but its seems that users complained about the performance of the mobile phone. Well a new update at http://www.nokia.com/softwareupdate available for free it seems that sales will shortly resume. The software is meant to fix the old issues as well as add a few features like the ability to use both the front facing video calling cam and the digital still camera at the same time.

While the 5030 will be an entry level phone retailing for around 40 Euro. We will keep you posted as more details are released.

Finally Nokia fixes the 5800 XpressMusic and its ready to hit the store shelves once again. They seem to have fixed the issues that plagued this amazing phone. The word from Nokia is that the issue was with configuration within the 5800 XpressMusic and it had issues connecting to the 3G network. Finally they sorted that out and you can now contact Nokia and get your phone switched out to resume you regular downloading of cell phone ringtones and wallpapers. This is certainly good news from the folks at Nokia.
