There has never been a Nokia phone that I have been interested in. In fact most of the handsets on the market are boring by my jaded standards. I do like the iPhone, but I will say it’s getting a bit boring and I am looking for the next cool handset.

Nokia has been offering its 5800 XpressMusic handset for a while in Europe, and not so long ago it brought the device to America. There were some issues with connectivity that forced the phone off the market for a while shortly after is US launch.

Nokia has been pushing music phones very hard and only recently unveiled the XpressMusic 5800 handset in America. Nokia has also announced that its music store is now available in more countries around the world.

The big announcement is three new handsets from Nokia that will be debuting at first in Europe. Among the devices is the 5730 XpressMusic, which is the first Nokia XpressMusic phone to offer a full QWERTY keyboard for messaging. The device can also play N-Gage games on the go and will ship in Q3 2009 for 280 EUR.

One gift at the top of many wish lists each holiday season is a new mobile phone. There are all sorts of interesting mobile phones this holiday season ranging from smartphones to music phones and all sorts of devices in between.

Nokia announced today that its 5800 XpressMusic phone is now shipping globally. We first talked about the 5800 XpressMusic in October. The handset has a touchscreen that is 3.2-inches wide. Other features include 8GB of storage, support for all main music formats and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

Music phones and smartphones are two of the biggest categories of handsets today. Music fans can get one device that lets them make and receive phone calls while listening to music. Without a phone that can play music, users end up needing to carry a MP3 player and a mobile phone. Finding a place to stuff an extra gadget can be a big problem for some users.

The LG Rhythm is an interesting phone that features a built-in FM transmitter that can send music playing on the phone to a FM radio up to ten feet away. That means in your car you can listen to music from the phone on your car audio system without resorting to accessories. The handset has an integrated 3.5mm headphone jack and can change between music and phone calls automatically.
