Nokia 5800 XpressMusic gets FCC approval

Nokia's 5800 XpressMusic, formerly the Tube, has received FCC approval and will be landing in the United States soon, though probably unlocked and unsubsidized. 

So far the phone is not attached to any one carrier. When the phone was first launched in October, it came in three versions: a quad-band GSM with 850/1900 WCDMA, a quad-band GSM with 900/2100 WCDMA and quad-band GSM with no 3G capabilities. It has both a 3.2-inch touchscreen display and a 3.2-megapixel camera, WiFi, GPS and HSDPA capabilities, stereo speakers, a touchscreen, drop down media bar menu and finger and stylus user interface controls.

There is no word on an official U.S. release date or pricing, but as a basis for comparison, when it was first released, the phone sold for about $390 unlocked.
