India Pre-book Your Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Today

December 21st, 2008 | 111 Comments | by Ani | Share

Attention all Indian Nokia Fanatics. Here is your chance to officially Pre-book the New Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Device from official Nokia Website. We earlier reported the pre-booking in Spain, the first actually and rather Russia has already seen some tremendous sales of the device with ratioing 5:1 compared to iPhone. I tried it myself and am still waiting for a call from the Nokia Dealer but in any case it didn’t cost me a penny to do that :P , still waiting for a call though. Tip: Before you pre-book just make sure that your city is listed by selecting the state. As I am from Punjab, I only saw Amritsar, Ludhiana and Mohali listed for pre-booking. So make sure your city is there. For some reason the price is still not available. Just fill in the details and in the source field you can punch in our web address if you like and select your dealer and wait for that magical call :P . Do ask about availability and price and if any promo is there or not and give us your feedback.

prebook 5800 india

I will update this post when I get a call from the dealer about the price but from my sources it should be around 21k. I am not sure about the headset people have been talking about but will furnish more info as and when I get with rights to be wrong ;) Read More on how to pre-order this device.

In another good news we will see 5800 with more than 200 preloaded songs both English and Hindi with 9 soul-stringing original compositions by A.R. Rahman on the device and Comes With Music might be available as well. For more info on this viral device check this site out :P http://xpressmusic.in/ & to pre-book your device go to http://www.nokiaprebook.com/index_live.asp#

On a final note, its good to see Nokia India putting up an official word on pre-booking, but still with the device coming in late has made my initial Euphoria water down. No wonder why people are getting angry. Next time be more punctual. So did any one of you pre-booked a 5800 yet? Share our thoughts here for others to read :D

  1. Alam Says:

    I booked one for me. Thanks for nice information.


  2. Imti Says:

    I hav already prebooked it 1 month back..My NPD said dec last week..


  3. Zorawar Says:

    hey, thanks for the update on the pre-booking. i did mine the moment i read ur post and got a call back within 5 minutes from the dealer. i booked it in chandigarh. also the dealer says the price would be 20k.


  4. Zorawar Says:

    also the pre loaded songs is a good thing, but what incites me more is the “comes with music” service…


  5. Ani Says:

    I guess I’ll get a call tomorrow as its Sunday today. Any news about its availability date and any promotional offer with it?


  6. Ash Says:

    Thanks for the link guys.

    Pre-ordered the phone and got the call from Nokia dealer (within 10 mins after doing so). He said that the phone would be available during Jan 1st week. When asked about the price he said it’d be arnd 21800/- after tax. He asked me to pay 2k as advance and said that if we do pre-booking by paying the amount you would get earphones worth 2.7k (must be the Shure headsets that people were talking about)


  7. Rohan Says:

    Thnx dude. Just got mine pre-booked. You are so helpful Ani.


  8. Zubin Says:

    haha poor u. so when is your trial coming. we would love u to share its review with us. btw the n97 vs 5800 post is very good and informative but i can’t wait that long.


  9. Zorawar Says:

    @ ANI — my dealer told me that i should go to the shop and get my phone booked for 2 grands and the delivery would be on the 3rd Jan

    @ ASH — dude which place have u ordered the fone from? as in the region? because my dealer did not mention anything about the earphones u just mentioned!


  10. Yulentc Says:

    hi. what i would like to know is, suppose we prebook it for x amount (i did already) and then we pay 2k advance. we get the headphones. and then the phone comes without the headphones for 2-3k less..then thats a disadvantage to us! i mean, if the phone is for the same price with headphones (prebooking) and without headphones (without booking) only then would prebooking make any sense…cos why would i want to pay 2-3k extra for headphones..id rather buy my own choice of headphones later..


  11. Ash Says:

    I have ordered it from Bangalore. The dealer told me that earphones worth 2.7k is free if I pre-order(by paying 2k in advance). So I assume that the earphones must be the Shure one that people were talking about.

    I also wonder if this ~22k cost is inclusive of the price of the earphone. Will the ‘earphone-less’ phone cost less when it is available without the pre-ordering? If that is the case then no use of getting the phone with earphone as I already have creative ep-630 which is pretty decent.


  12. Ani Says:

    thnx.. do let us know when u goto the dealer and try to furnish as much info as possible. Really can’t wait but no choice


  13. Neha Says:

    thnx ani, but i already bought n85 ;)


  14. Rahul n Says:

    Hi Guys, yes it true we can preorder it by paying 2 grands, my priority dealer informed me i had gone today in morning to the place, also he has asked me to come in evening for a demo since he was gonna get the demo piece today. Price is the same Rs 21800/- :) and confirmed delivery date is 2nd jan 09.


  15. jeetu Says:

    Guys today i went and saw the demo piece.. the phone looks good , built quality is very good, i loved the phone.. i saw red color.. he told me tat the software is nt the final version… tat will comes in phones tat cme is jan…speakers were good, only thing is typing on virtual keyboard takes time to adjust… its good tat we have option of diff keyboards.. even handwriting thing was very kool…headphones cmg with 5800 r nt shure but Sennheiser ones tat wat the nokia guy told me…so we will get the normal headphones tat normally cmes with the phone and the Sennheiser ones…so nt a bad deal at all…he said the phone will cme on 4 or 5 jan… now only waiting to get my new toy….


  16. Ani Says:

    thats great news buddy.
    can u manage to click some pictures of the demo so that we can put em up here on the site. I want all our users to take a look of the real device :P
    Also can you confirm what model Sennheiser headphones are they?


  17. Ajit Says:

    It is available on preorder here in bhopal by depositing 2000 advance.price is 21850.and Rs 600 for HeadFone whose market price is 4000.Availability date will be known tomorrow


  18. chandu Says:

    May be this — sennheiser MM 60 Nokia


  19. chandu Says:

    may be sennheiser MM 60 Nokia


  20. Ash Says:

    Just read over at tube 5800 that nokia was giving headset free during pre-booking in Philippines.

    “Be one of the first 58 to claim your pre-ordered Nokia 5800 XpressMusic player and win a Sennheiser HD-205 headset and two free SVIP passes to the HedKandi Playlist Party going to be held on Jan 23, 2009 in Makati city.”

    So may be they are giving this particular model from Sennheiser over here in India?


  21. Zubin Says:

    sounds cool. but why so? i mean the device already sold out in russia. isn’t this costing nokia or is it cause of the global crisis that nokia is pulling off such tactics.


  22. JEETU Says:

    The LX 90 Style are high-quality stereo headphones in an ultra-lightweight flexible design for a comfortable fit. A new damping system produces a detailed sound pattern for a special listening pleasure. The LX 90 Style come complete with a carrying case.i think this one nokia is giving….so wait guys for this awesome phone with this amazing headphones…hope everyone is preebooking it….


  23. Yulentc Says:

    hi. just got a call from NPD in Jaipur. They said i should come over for a live demo and then i can book the phone for 2000rs. it will come in 2nd week of jan. she also said there is a guarantee of 48 hours in which phone will be replaced and warranty of one year. the price of the phone she told me is 19990. also, they have no information about the free headphones. there is no such scheme as per the information they have. i wonder if i should go and get the phone pre-booked. i asked her what if u increase the price afterwards, she said no this price is final and confirmed..im confused, ppl are saying 21880 but i just got the call..wht should i do :(


  24. Zorawar Says:

    ani… i went to the dealer yesterday and lay my hands on the demo set. the built quality is pretty decent and so is the finger touch response. speakers dissapointed me a little but the guy there said the final versions for sale will have a better quality. also he said that this is not the final software. about the Sennheiser headfones, he said he might be able to adjust them in the total price and give me a best buy. so that way the phone should cost me 20 grands includin the Sennheiser headsets. i also used the wifi on the fone and the google maps too. the comfort level is very good, pretty handy, but will have to get use to the all touch screen, specially the kyeboards for faster typing, but that should not be an issue. also the camera gave great results with the flash as i clicked the guy at the counter only. the guy has confirmed the delivery on 3rd jan, 09.


  25. JEETU Says:

    Guys the nokia NPD can give discount if they want to.. coz they r selling the 1st batch on MRP… their DP is mutch lower than that… so try yr luck to make them give for less….


  26. Ketan Says:

    I did pre-booking on the site mentioned. And I was amazed by the speed of response from Nokia dealer. Within 2 minutes I got a call. The lady over the counter asked me to come over to the showroom for live demo. Price 21850 INR date 4th Jan. location borivali mumbai. I will be going today to see the demo.


  27. Ani Says:

    After such a big delay they ought to respond quick to our pre-book orders immediately. i mean we are spending 22k so we need quick service ;) , atleast now… BTW Ketan try to click some pictures of the demo device for us. Cheers!


  28. neeraj Says:

  58. sara Says:

    call ur dealers now


  60. Cranberry Says:

  62. Prasad Says:

    Heyy guys yesterday i marked a mail to nokia regarding the issue of free headphones or speakers for those who have pre booked it.They did not told me anything related to that but i was shocked by the contents which they mentioned in the sales package for India.It contents -
    1) Handset
    2) Charger
    3) Tv-out cable
    4) Headphones
    5) Connector of the headphone
    6) Memory card
    7) Dvd
    8) User guide

    That’s it,isn’t its shocking they did not mentioned about the stand or the plectrum or an extra stylus.
    I am really worried guys,if anyone can try just call nokia customer care or mail them & please recheck the contents.Thanks everyone.


  63. Bhaskar Says:

    Hello People,

    I got a call today from Nokia Concept store in Bangalore and he told me that the phone will be available by 7PM at the store and asked me to collect it. I will update you regarding this and he also told me that i would get a SENNHEISER LX90 headphone.

    Waiting for others to reply.


  64. Rohit Says:

    Hey guys.. well the Nokia 5800 is now officially available! I just got 1 of these babies an hour bk (da 1st customer to get 1 frm da NPD, Secunderabd)! :) Had prebooked it.. total price was 21,839 INR. Came with Sennheiser LX90 earphones(MRP 4000) and a Priyanka Chopra calendar (for those who prebooked it).. The package contents include the Phone (duh!), battery, charger, headset, data cable, tv cable, carrying case, stand, 8 gb mem card, a plectrum chord, nd dvd/usermanual. It also comes preloaded with 283 tracks

    1st impressions – Great looker.. bright blue hues running along the sides luks good. Touch ws moderately responsive (you need to apply a little bit of pressure cuz of the resistive screen), i guess it takes some getting used to.. the screen is large nd is brilliant, accelerometer isnt da most accurate nd takes a sec to change from portrait to landscape.. external sound outputs really loud from the stereo speakers (not as loud as sum chinese phones tho).. gps i havent tried out yet.. apparently it requires a data connection to activate it..
    Thats all for now.. il keep you posted
    Regards
    Rohit
    P.S – You can drop in a mail at rohitr007@yahoo.co.in for any queries.

  82. prajit Says:

    Hi, i too had pre-booked 5800 with nokia priority dealer at sec-8, rohini, delhi. Though i was pretty annoyed with the absence of info on the delivery of the sets (I did’nt get any call from the dealer today, as they had promised). Later, i barged into the priority dealer shop at 8:30 pm, he said he is still awaiting order delivery from NOKIA !! We may get it tomorrow. I am pretty surprised that in a prime location like Delhi, they are so casual with the whole purchase experience of the customer…


  83. ak Says:

    got my phone 4rm npd in south mumbai!!.. fones awesome as ever..

    though there is a lot of lag wen u try to open songs ..1nce u in gallery. next the accelerometer is fine but lags wen used while viewing photos..the games are laggy as hell too!!

    touchscreen is very responsive and works awesome for a resistive one!

    phones awesome in the hand n is a definite eye-candy and will attract eyeballs

    browsing net is good but zooming isnt great its a pain infact

    sound and speakers are the best in the business…damn friggen good!!

    video playback is great too!

    paid 21800 (2000+19800) accessories are magnificient

    there is no guitar game preloaded tho

    u get a stand and didnt get no priyanka chopra calender!

    btw the lag shud be rectified with a firmware update!

    mine is 11. somethn version

  90. Sam Says:

    I guess by now evrybody knws that the fone which was being sold @ arnd 21K – 22K a week earlier is down to 18K – 19K.
    I feel so cheated..We should have been given the option of not having the headset b4….
    so much for prebooking “special offer”.


  91. Aditya Says:

    Hey… i got a reply!! it said my services wud be activated by 12th (2day dat is)… i’ve started browsin thru gprs/edge services b4 itself… so im still charged 30p per 50kb.. i mssg the offer details agn… it jus say GPRS service is already active on my phone… hav to go to the airtel office agn i guess….

    hey guys i also prebooked the damn phone and now found that the price is Rs. 19999. Why the hell do pre-bookers get cheated…Calling out all thepre-bookers to maybe file a complaint against Nokia. Was told at the time of purchase that price would remain 21839. So giving the store a piece of my mind but I feel we need to gather critcal mass to get Nokia to stop this malpractice of cheating customers So anyone game kicking the shit out of Nokia India for cheating its best customers who prebook the phone, pay an advance amount for the phone before even we get it..and then get cheated out
    Apple did the same thing and Americans gave Apple hell for the same.


  95. chandu Says:

    yes we should file a complaint against Nokia for cheating customers.


  96. chandu Says:

    I got my Nokia 5800 prebooking in Gurgaon at the price of 19999, delivered on 3rd Jan. I also bought LX90 earphones by paying Rs 600 extra. So far, I am satisified by it, though occasionally the OS hangs if I open many applications or do heavy web-browsing. Music quality is awesome with LX-90 earphones. Anyone knows about the option of upgrading the memory to 16GB from 8GB card and the price for that? I heard Nokia is giving the option now to new buyers.

    i bought my nokia 5800 XM yesterday for 19K with bill….from indore… and its available from all priority dealers of NOKIA since last 2 weeks.

    the airtel offer is valid for all airtel postpaid mobile users. u just have to send a sms to 543210 with “5800″ as the content without the “” and u will get the sms that the service will start within 72 hrs and it will be informed to u by sms.]
    i did it and by package is active.
    the 121 does not know anything abt it i even talked to my local airtel office even they do not have any info abt it but the nokia dealers have got a “confidential copy” from NOKIA with all the instructions for getting the package.

    lastly….
    i have a red one and basically its dark copper with a red rim around and it looks definitely cool and its better than black also black is not available currently…from the company


  107. Karan Says:

    hey dr. puneet maheshwari
