Nokia 5800 XPress Music Phone Started Off the Wrong Foot In the U.S.

Nokia has halted sales of its 5800 XPress Music phone in the United States, only a few days after the phone first went on sale in the company's flagship store. The 5800 is seen as Nokia's answer to the Apple iPhone, and it has sold more than 1 million units around the world since its release last October.
Nokia USA this weekend stopped selling the American version of the 5800 in its two flagship stores in New York and Chicago, just a few days after the U.S. introduction on February 26. However Nokia is now selling the European version of 5800 as a replacement.

Two major problems plagued the North American model of the Nokia 5800. The first is in the form of the phone's earpiece speakers, which are reportedly not properly protected against moisture; and the second is the phone's inability to find AT&T 3G network, which led to many customers returning the phone.

The cell phone manufacturer said the problems are popping up in Chicago and New York, where Nokia has flagship stores, but it doesn't appear to be occurring in other markets. This could mean the issue lies with the network itself, but AT&T and Nokia haven't confirmed this. It's unclear if the problem can be fixed over the air with a software upgrade, or if it's a hardware issue that will require the user to send it in.

The Nokia 5800 Xpress Music mobile phone comes with a 3.2” widescreen display. It is a smartphone that combines photos, video and internet on the cell phone. The 16x9 ration with 30 frames per second recording and playback makes it a handy way to capture your memories. The digital camera is a 3.2 megapixel and is once click away from uploading to Ovi Share, Flickr, or Facebook if you want.
