Although Nokia's 5800 XpressMusic hasn't yet hit the PC Magazine Labs for full testing, I was able to spend a little time tinkering with the device. The time I had with it left me asking one big question: "Why, Nokia, why?" Casting aside some of its greatest strengths in favor of a trendy touch screen, the 5800 XPressMusic comes off as a buggy iPhone imitation, rather than a triumph from the world's number-one cell-phone maker. And that's a pity, because Nokia's "Comes With Music" program, which offers a year's worth of free music downloads for your 5800, could truly rock the mobile world.
