context_page_description: XpressMusic was a brand name for a line of Nokia mobile phones that were specially designed for music playback. All of the XpressMusic handsets came with expandable MicroSD memory slots and dedicated music keys, so these phones could also be used as MP3 players. The XpressMusic range was launched in September 2006 to compete with the Walkman brand series from Sony Ericsson. Except from one device, all XpressMusic models were applied to the 5000 series models.
  In September 2009, Nokia announced the X3-00 and X6-00. The Xseries replaced the XpressMusic brand.
context_section_description: The 2009 lineup started with the 5800, one of two new phones (the other being the N97) to use the new touch-based S60 5th Edition, likely designed as a response to the increasing popularity of touchscreen handsets in the market. However, Nokia used the resistive instead of capacitive touchscreen reportedly to appeal to the global market. In this technology, touch is registered when two thin layers of the screen got pushed together under the finger. The 5800 (nicknamed the Tube) also featured a 3.2 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss technology. Apart from the 5130 and lesser-known 5330, the rest of the lineup are 3G phones running Symbian S60 software, as the Nseries handsets of the time. Despite being a part of the XpressMusic series, the 5800 combined many standard smartphone capabilities too.
