Touch screen mobile phones are all the rage at the moment and Nokia has finally jumped aboard with the 5800 XpressMusic, its first ever full touch screen handset. This device brings a reasonable set of features, and the 5800 XpressMusic is a fair effort, but it has a couple of interface quirks that prevent it from seriously competing against Apples iPhone 3G. The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic has a fairly standard design for a touch screen device, with the display consuming most of the phones front...
