Dark Knight phone Nokia “Tube” catches face time

Tag : Nokia CDMA Phone
If you haven’t been able to catch Batman - The Dark Knight in theaters yet, you might not have heard of or seen Nokia’s new touchscreen baby. The 5800 XpressMusic, also being called the Tube, made an appearance in the hands of none other than Morgan Freeman, and it has shown up, with specs, on the internet for your viewing pleasure.

The Nokia 5800 Tube has some impressive specifications, but seems to be lacking at this stage of development in the graphics department. Still, the handset has an attractive form factor and some pretty impressive features, which are available courtesy of TBGR:

- The Tube only weighs 104 grams
- GPS
- haptic feedback (a must nowadays for touchscreen handsets)
- 640 x 360 pixel TFT LCD display
- dual LED flash and 3.2 Megapixel camera with autofocus
- 3.5 mm headphone jack and television out connections
- Bluetooth, HSDPA, GSM, CMDMA, EDGE, WLAN connectivity

With legitimate camera phones finally hitting the market, I’m pleased to see Nokia going to such lengths to actually make the camera functionality worth buyers’ time. GPS is a nice inclusion with many touchscreen handsets, but I question the choice to not include 3G or EV-DO data connectivity, as higher-speed data networks are a necessity for proper GPS use.
