Get $50 Off The 5800 Navigation Edition With Ovi

The 5800 was the first mainstream handset from Nokia featuring a touch interface and an easy to use 3,2 inch screen with 640 x 360 resolution.

A big screen means that you can use the screen to show off pictures and videos easily. Another thing you can use the screen to do is to navigate in Ovi Maps.

The anticipated 5800 Navigation Edition is now landing in the US market and the differentiators in this edition are a lifetime navigation license for Ovi Maps and a car holder included in the sales package. With this, you are ready to start using the 5800 for navigation right away.

The handset is now retailing for $299 where you can get a $50 Visa prepaid gift card from Nokia when purchasing the device by activating an account with Ovi Store.

Nokia have had different variants of the N-series phones with “music editions” and now the initial music focused phone 5800 gets a navigation edition. I find it rather amusing if not slightly confusing with this rebranding of their products. Do you find this rebranding a good or a bad thing?

Cheung Yuen Wong had his first meeting with Symbian when he acquired the N-Gage Classic phone. Swiftly after he became addicted and amazed at the possibilities in which the Symbian operating system offered in terms of usability and power. You can follow Cheung on Twitter at @Wampyre.

    It really makes you wonder… With all the millions of 5800's out there and soon to be millions of pseudo-5800's worldwide, just how low has Nokia gotten the manufacturing cost per unit? I mean think about it. The 5800's LCD and digitizer are used in four seperate models. All of those models share the same minor components and practically the same housing. I'm certain the boards are all nearly identical save for a few changes (lack of 3G.) At this point, the 5800 and it's siblings must be the most profitable smartphones Nokia has sold in years.

    It was $250 at the end of November on Amazon. $50 off, so I got it for $200.00. Sweet deal!

    The Nokia USA website lists the 5800 Navigation Edition as 850/1900 3G only in Brazil/Latin America (900/2100 for the rest). What's the deal with that?

    Don't worry, I seriously doubt Nokia will release a 900/2100 MHz 3G version North America, especially not when a 850/1900 MHz version already exists. Nokia is known for copying information from one regional site to another. The specifications page on the USA site was likely just copied from the UK site and they forgot to fix the frequencies.
