I've put together a table to track which country is getting the Nokia 5800 (and which will get it in a Comes with Music edition) - I'm trying to update it now :-)

iPhone 3G: $199.99 + (24 months * $30 data plan) = $919

Unlocked Nokia phone: $x + (24 months * $15 data plan) = $X + $360

$919 - $360 = $559

Assuming I didn't botch up my math, even if the Tube costs $550 unlocked, it will still cost less than the $199 iPhone. Personally though, I would recommend the Nokia E71 to anyone on AT&T.

Apparently Nokia's market share is "dwindling" from 40% to 39%. I wonder what spin Engadget would put on Apple's mp3 player market share going down 1%?

"5800 XpressMusic is now, or soon will be, available in select markets globally, including Russia, Spain, India, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Finland, among others." - So it's now. Definitely maybe.

Anyway, I'm member of the Pathetic Tube Fanboy Club and I've put together a table to track the different country availabilities and estimates:

399,00 €

It's just that Nokia can't control those priceys same like Apple(att, Apple store or Sonera here in Finland). There are so many different shops and carriers where 5800 will be sold so countrie will have differencies in price, but it will be certain that after the craze has gone down price will drop to "normal" like any other high selling Nokia phone.... some phones have turned more expensive too thought :D

Just remember that Nokia's own store isn't anything official... it's not even held directly by Nokia, but it's own firm and they always sell overpriced. Everyone on their own countries know where to get their unlocked Nokia's cheap, but carriers will probally have about same price inside the countrie.]]>Nov 27th 2008 12:42PM
