Nokia has released a new version of its Nokia 5800 Xpress Music mobile phone, the Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition.
The Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition is essentially the same phone as the Xpress Music edition, but this version is designed to be used as a navigation device to get you to your destination.
Enhanced Navigation Features
The Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition features voice-guided navigation which can be used whilst you are driving or walking. The phone comes with the navigation software ready to go out of the box, making it extremely user-friendly. This voice-guided navigation is particularly useful for drivers who need to keep their eyes on the road and hands on the wheel. The software provides turn-by-turn directions, ensuring that you never miss a turn or exit.
Additionally, the phone includes a Nokia car kit for charging your phone in the car and for using the Sat Nav. This car kit is a valuable addition, as it ensures that your phone remains charged during long journeys, and the mount keeps the phone in a convenient position for viewing maps and directions. The navigation software also has built-in local traffic warnings to help you avoid traffic jams. This feature is particularly beneficial for commuters who want to save time and avoid the frustration of unexpected delays.
Additional Features and Availability
Beyond its navigation capabilities, the Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition retains all the features that made the Xpress Music edition popular. It includes a 3.2-inch touchscreen display, a 3.2-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, and support for various music and video formats. The phone also offers Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing users to browse the internet and download apps and updates on the go.
The Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition will go on sale later in the year in Europe for 285 Euros, about $408. This price point makes it an affordable option for those looking for a reliable navigation device that also functions as a fully-featured smartphone. There is no word on when it will arrive in the US, but given the popularity of Nokia phones, it is likely to make its way across the Atlantic eventually.
For those who are always on the move, the Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition offers a comprehensive solution. Whether you are driving to a new city or walking through unfamiliar streets, this phone ensures that you reach your destination with ease. The combination of advanced navigation features, multimedia capabilities, and a reasonable price makes it a compelling choice for tech-savvy consumers.
