XpressMusic

Nokia 5300

The original XpressMusic lineup was announced on September 27, 2006, consisting of the twisting candybar Nokia 3250 XpressMusic (a revamped Nokia 3250) and the slider Nokia 5300 XpressMusic. Another slider similar to 5300 was also launched called Nokia 5200, but that one is not XpressMusic. They were first released before the end of the 2006.[2]

A few months later in 2007 the 5700 was added to the line, using a twisting keypad like the 3250.

The 2008 lineup saw the first 3G XpressMusic phones, first the 5610 and later the 5320, which included HSDPA. The lineup also added support for MicroSDHC, allowing cards larger than 2GiB. The 5610 would be the only XpressMusic phone without a 3.5 mm headphone jack, instead having a 2.5 mm jack.

Nokia 5800

The 2009 lineup started with the 5800, one of two new phones (the other being the N97) to use the new touch-based S60 5th Edition,[10] likely designed as a response to the increasing popularity of touchscreen handsets in the market. However, Nokia used the resistive instead of capacitive touchscreen reportedly to appeal to the global market.[11] In this technology, touch is registered when two thin layers of the screen got pushed together under the finger.[12] The 5800 (nicknamed the Tube[11]) also featured a 3.2 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss technology.[10] Apart from the 5130 and lesser-known 5330, the rest of the lineup are 3G phones running Symbian S60 software, as the Nseries handsets of the time. Despite being a part of the XpressMusic series, the 5800 combined many standard smartphone capabilities too.
