Jupiter is in line with Uranus, the birds are singing and there's a fresh smell in the air. That can mean only one thing, that tomorrow has gotta be T-day (Tube 5800 *cough*). Well, that and the fact that we've been invited to a special even tomorrow dubbed Remix, with an intriguing invite that boldly teases "experience new music devices and services".
Now, it's hardly carved in stone but the prospect of us poking and pawing the worst kept secret in the mobile kingdom is looking good. So I'll be armed with a swanky Hi-Def camcorder and trusty digital SLR to ensure we bring you samurai sharp footage and heaps of snaps as soon as the official cloth has been whipped off the "new music devices". Here's hoping it's not just some stereo Bluetooth headsets!
In the meantime here are highlights of the 5800 XpressMusic Tube news that's been making our palms all sweaty in anticipation in recent times...
Beware websites offering pre-order Tube 5800s
Given that big Nok has yet to even acknowledge the phone officially, it’d probably be a little bit foolish to hand over a few hundred odd pounds to a site you’ve never heard of just because it’s got a picture of the handset and some shaky specs.
Nokia 5800 Tube release date as early as 2 October?
So our last best guess about when we might be seeing Nok’s touchy feely handset was somewhere around 8 October , but the latest internet rumours are pegging it almost a week earlier at 2 October.
More 5800 Tube snaps out - the final version?
So there’s definitely a fair bit of activity happening around Nokia’s much awaited 5800 Tube touchscreen phone. Not only has the release date apparently been bumped forward ever so slightly to 2 October, but now some new snaps have come to light.
Even more 5800 Tube pics - this time from China
By the time Nokia actually gets around to launching the 5800 Tube touchscreen marvel, there’ll barely be anything left to see - unless it’s all just a cunning ruse and the real thing looks completely different. These latest snaps have come in from China and you can see the web browser in all its wonderful touchable glory.
More 5800 Tube pics and “specs” hit the web
