If you're anything like us, you're itching to get your hands on Nokia's new touchscreen music master when it lands in UKs-ville in early 2009. But there's some bad news for Vodafone, O2 and T-Mobile customers: it seems the 5800 is going to be exclusive to Orange.

The news comes courtesy of The Guardian's technology blog rather than from Nokia or Orange themselves, so it's not 100 percent official just yet.

Still, it's certainly a respectable, credible source, so we'll assume it's accurate until we hear otherwise. So, non-Orange customers: would you be willing to switch in order to bag a 5800? Does its finger-friendly screen and all-you-can-eat Comes with Music download service warrant a change? Let us know in the comments section below.
