Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition. Shandy
In a Twilight Zone kind of away, we really, really understand what Nokia are doing with the Nokia 5800 Navigation edition, whilst at the very same time, being really, really confused by it. Let us (un)explain ourselves
Understandable – The 5800 has a nice big screen, is very touch friendly and comes with lots of onboard connectivity such as WiFi and GPS, all of which means that if you gave it lots of top-end mapping and navigational software, it would be as good as any standalone GPS navigator. Nokia have, therefore, done all this, and the Nokia 5800 Navigator edition is, well, as good as any standalone GPS navigator
Confusable – The 5800 XpressMusic came out about 4 minutes ago, and we’re really not sure if releasing the Nokia 5800 Navigation edition so soon is a good idea. And what about the music side of things? Is that still as good? Because they’re not talking about it in the press releases? Does it still even play music?
Yes, fair enough, we could go look at the official page or at this Nokjia 5800 navigation review to ascertain that, yes, it does do all the things the XpressMusic version did, but now it also has a lifetime license for the turn-by-turn and voice navigation functions that you’d otherwise have to spend money on. But… it’s… you know? You don’t?
Hmm.
It’s just confusing, alright! Maybe that lunchtime “shandy” was a bad idea after all… We’re just going to sit back and watch this nice video instead…
