Nokia's three new XpressMusic handsets have surfaced today, a day before their official launch. They are:

5030 XpressMusic: an entry-level candybar with a powerful speaker on the back, a built-in FM transmitter and no camera. The battery should provide up to 24 hours of music playback and will hit the shelves in Q2 for just €40 ($51).

The North American version of the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is now available in Nokia’s retail stores. The price is $399, which is a bit higher than the original $360 when the handset was announced.

Those who benefited from the Valentine’s Day pre-order discount should receive it in the next few days.

The popular Nokia 5800 XpressMusic has received its first firmware update. The latest build v20.0.0.12 adds in camera photo geotagging, full device search, and boosts the overall performance. The update can be downloaded through OTA update service or the traditional PC Suite.

As you understood, this is the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic running the iPhone UI. Well, a replica of it actually... The device runs Symbian S60 5th Edition platform, and uses a resistive touch technology, plus has a narrower display, which makes the interface look a bit different from the original with three rows of icons instead of four.

Anyway, it looks cool, so check it ou

The rumored Nokia 5710 XpressMusic has appeared on Nokia’s U.S. site, and by the looks of it it's just an updated version of the previous 5700. It hasn't been announced yet, but we're pretty sure it will be arriving at T-Mobile sometime this year.

Starting January 23, the Nokia's 5800 XpressMusic touchscreen handset will be released in the UK at a price of £249 (about $377). For those in Moscow this phone is so last year already, while North American residents will have to wait for a few more months.
