This significance of the popular Nokia 5800 Xpress Music edition makes the most of Nokia's Ovi Maps that is recently re-vamped into a free 'forever' app.
The Ovi Maps app features coverage for over 70 countries that combines with the 5800 to maximize its abilities to give you turn-by-turn, voice-guided navigation for driving as well as walking. Ovi Maps also marks free updates, more than 6,000 3D landmarks, free event guides, and free Lonely Planet and Michelin travel guides.
As for the hardware, the bright 360x640TFT touchscreen displays the excellent features of the easy-to-read Ovi Maps and features concrete feedback. The 5800 Navi also attributes 3.5G (3.6 Mbs); Wi-Fi; 3.2 MP camera with video recording, autofocus, and LED flash; 81MB of internal memory; hot-swappable MicroSD slot that can accommodate cards up to 16GB; very reputable battery life of 8.8 hours talk time and 16 days of standby time; and all the music features of the original 5800 Xpress Music edition including dedicated menu button and even good built-in stereo speakers.
The 5800 Navi comprises an auto power adapter and a windshield mount right in the box, so it's ready to jump in the car and hit the open road with you. The windshield mount is a little tricky to put together and seemed rather large upon assembly, but actually is quite usable once installed in the car. It's very adjustable and is long enough to put the phone right at our fingertips, even in our huge (read: non P.C.) SUV.
Currently on sale at the Nokia Online Store for $299.
