Just as the Nokia Tube got revealed, Nokia’s webcast dropped a pretty interesting picture, showing a touchscreen smartphone. It’s an XPERIA-like device with a swivelling screen that hides a QWERTY keyboard.
The S60 Touch will be perfect for it and we sure hope that this so-called “Touch Communicator” will be more than a concept.

Nokia Remix London will be the event that celebrates the birth of a new handset, the Nokia Tube, XpressMusic 5800. It’s been a long wait, since the days when “The Dark Knight” movie was a hit and the Tube appeared in it, as a tool of destruction. Well, destruct it will, but not the iPhone, since this touchscreen baby will not, I repeat will not be a smartphone.
It will rather be a mid end music phone destined for the masses, a challenger for the Walkman series, but one that uses a neat S60 Touch platform, that will up the potential of the device. This is in no way an iPhone challenger, but there’s still hope, since the first touchscreen Nokia should be followed by a second, third … and finally the Nokia Morph!

Nokia Tube has been talked about on our site more than the iPhone, if you ask me, but there’s a reason to all this fuss. We’re dealing with the first Symbian S60 and first (almost) Nokia handset that uses a full touchscreen. Basically, the only new info regarding the Nokia Tube, or the XpressMusic 5800 if you want to call it like that, is its launch date: October 2nd.
The photo above seems to be the official press pic of the device and comes with yet again a list of specs of the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic. Having a look at it, we discover a 3.2″ touchscreen display with a 640 x 360 resolution, a 3.2 megapixel autofocus camera with dual LED flash and 30 FPS VGA recording and A-GPS.
Also included in the specs list is Symbian S60 Taco 5, the OS of the new phone, plus WiFi, USB 2.0, Bluetooth 2.0, a 3.5 mm headphone jack and a TV-out port. If you’re wondering about the storage space of the Nokia Tube, you’ll get 150 MB of user memory plus 8 or 16 GB on a microSDHC card (an 8GB one is included in the box).

Did you know that the long awaited Nokia Tube or the 5800 XpressMusic handset was not the company’s first full touchscreen phone? I’ve seen this claim on lots of blogs and I thought so too, till I stumbled upon this piece of info on Symbian-Freak.com.
Seems that the 2003-launched Nokia 7710 was a full touchscreen smartphone as well, but it was discontinued at some point.
Notice the huge difference between a Nokia Tube prototype wannabe (left) and the 7710 (right). Ever used one of those?

This is so not the Nokia Tube/XpressMusic 5800, that it becomes quite an interesting handset, after being constantly fed info about the upcoming Nokia hit. Designed by Ulisses Gardim, the concept phone features an SD card slot, a touchscreen display and a camera.
Bluetooth, a video and audio player are also among its specs, but that’s the max we can figure out from these two images. I have to say it again, this is a serious approach to the whole “Nokia touchscreen device” thing, but it might just me being shocked by a touch-based handset without rounded edges (noticed that most touchscreen phones feature that design?).

I had a friend of mine draw his version of the Nokia Tube, after all this hype that’s been going on and on about the handset. He’s not into cellphones at all, but his creation is reasonably funny, if you can take a geeky joke. In other words, here’s the Nokia Tube/Pipe.

By now, you must’ve seen at least 20 pictures showing you the future Nokia touchscreen handset, dubbed the Tube or the XpressMusic 5800, but that’s never enough for the tech-hungry. Here’s a screenshot of the Tube’s browser, a bit more impressive than its bad virtual keyboard, but still not exactly what you’d expect from the S60 Touch.
As these pics are starting to increase in number, we’ve gone through the process of rearranging them. Also, we’ve integrated most of the Nokia Tube leaked pics and screenshots into a YouTube clip you can check out below:

After seeing the Nokia Tube in the latest Batman movie and checking out a couple of leaked pics, it’s time for… some more leaked photos, this time provided by Digi QQ. They also mention a couple of specs of the long-awaited device, which you’ll find out if you keep reading below.
Among the specs there’s a 3.2 megapixel camera with a Carl Zeiss optical lens with autofocus, plus Dual LED Flash, built-in GPS, 140 MB RAM and TV-out. Nokia XpressMusic 5800 measures 111 x 52 x 14.5 mm and weighs only 104 grams, but its main feature is the TFT LCD screen, with a 640 x 360 pixel resolution and a 16:9 display mode.
The Nokia Tube also comes with the fifth edition of Symbian S60, vibration feedback during touch interaction, a BL-5J 1150 mAh battery and a 3.5 mm headset. Connectivity’s also got some options lined up like GSM/GPRS/EDGE/WCDMA/HSDPA/WLAN support plus Bluetooth. The public demands a video of the device folks, so we’re waiting for it and by God I hope not to see any more pics of the Tube.

After seeing the Nokia XpressMusic 5800 also known as the Tube in The Dark Knight movie, it’s time for another pic of the future Nokia hit. This time, we get to check out its interface, which is really disappointing, even for a prototype.
Yes, it’s fairly basic and yes it does leave enough room for chubby fingers to press, but still, this is Nokia we’re talking about people… and the Symbian touch OS.

Folks who have seen The Dark Knight must have been impressed by Heath Ledger’s performance, but there was more to that movie for the tech geek in you. The Nokia touchscreen hit we’ve been waiting for made a special appearance…
Word goes round that the Nokia XpressMedia 5800, or the Tube as we’ve come to know it was spotted in Morgan Freeman’s possession in a scene of the motion picture. The handset hasn’t been launched yet so maybe this is a sign of things to come. Got more on this story? Feel free to comment below.
