Nokia today announced the 5800 touchscreen in India along with their music service Ovi. The much awaited touchscreen from Nokia comes as a competition to the iPhone. The pricing is what excited us the most; Rs 21839 only! While the iPhone is backed by the popular iTunes and the Appstore; Nokia still banks majorly on the Symbian OS and mass market approach.
Ovi is the name for Nokia’s “umbrella concept” Internet services. Centered on ovi.com, it will market as “personal dashboard” where users can share photos with friends, buy music and access third-party services like Yahoo’s Flickr photo site.

Tech2 Reports that the Nokia Tube can be seen in action in the Batman Movie The Dark Knight! Tube is a Touch concept that Nokia is working on. It is expected to run a Symbian Touch UI. Though we are yet to see a great TouchScreen from Nokia, we keep living on hopes… (
see the Tube demo video)
Update: Now that we have seen the movie, we have some more on the Nokia Tube.
If you plan to watch the movie, your would be able to see the tube very closely. Its smaller than the iPhone 1st gen and looks much more handy. We believe the interface would have been CG (computer generated) and not real. But the phone has a iPhone (or Windows Mobile) style sleep button the top right. Tempting isn’t it?
