Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Unboxing

26th January 2009

The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic ships in a relatively compact box measuring about 190 x 140 x 70 mm. It doesn't look as though there can be much in there!

There are several layers to the box, all very tightly packed. Firstly, a brightly coloured flap. Underneath that is the phone, and underneath the phone is an odd little bit of card indicating where you should insert the SIM.

First we find a fairly standard Nokia charger, then a small set of documentation. Underneath those are a mass of accessories and cables. The box contains everything you will possibly need, which is nice.

The front and back of the phone, still with the protective covering on.

As we said, there's a lot in the box. But where is the battery and memory card? Well, this is a review model and they were both already installed.

Add the documentation in, and you can see that this is a pretty comprehensive collection of bits.

The SIM card sits in through a slot in the side, something that is quite rare. The microSD card is already installed in the adjacent slot, and the battery was already in this unit.. something else that is unusual.

The battery is a high-capacity BL-5J 1320 mAh unit. It would be nice to see this particular battery more often as it packs plenty of juice. In the first picture, you can see how tiny the camera actually is.

Powering the unit up. Annoyingly, it tries to sell us something called "My Nokia" when you first start it up.
