So finally the Nokia 5800 Tube is confirmed and official, but aside from their landmark entry into the touchscreen era, this also opens up new doors for the Finnish company. Granted that the 5800 is just the first of many devices, one of the many possible successors is an E90-ish touchscreen-packing model. Considering that the E90 is already outdated by today’ standards and based on concept phone Nokia dropped in their webcast, this updated E90 could be a potential XPERIA X1 killer if I ever saw one. Unfortunately, there’s no degree of certainty if this will ever materialize or not, but one thing’s definite at the moment, Nokia’s now part of the whole touchscreen phone ballgame and we can expect more touchscreen-toting devices from the company very soon.
