Tech Ticker

FCC recently approved Nokia’s 5800i phone, which seemed to be a downgraded variant of 5800 XpressMusic. However, it turns out to be that it might not be what we think. Boy Genius Report reasons it out well and semi-confirms that the 5800i phone is meant for China. And yes, I have one to add too.

Anyways, they say the bands listed with 5800i are WCDMA 900/2100MHz and quad-band GSM. These bands are perfectly compatible with China Unicom. Secondly, the FCC ID has some Chinese characters written, which again points towards the same thing. Finally, the info I gathered should sum it up. The Bluetooth listing shows the “Geographical Availability” listed as Asia.

Regarding the specs, the 5800i (product code RM-602) seems to have the same specs as 5800 XpressMusic.
