Nokia has unveiled its touch screen mobile phone recently. The new smart phone challenges Apple Inc's iPhone. Nokia 5800 Xpressmusic model will be released in the fourth quarter. The long-awaited touch screen mobile cell phone will be available on the fourth quarter. However, the new 5800 will not work exactly the same way as the iPhone. Forexample, it will now allow users to zoom in and out by using two fingers as a point of motion.

Other features include built in GPS, 3G connectivity, and Wi-Fi capabilities for Internet. The mobile phone supports a full HTML Web browser and Flash Lite 3. The flash capabilities do set it apart from the iPhone.

The camera phone also features a 3.2 mega pixel camera with flash and tactile feedback.

Nokia needed a touch screen as other companies such as LG Electronics, Samsung Electronics and several smaller handset vendors have recently released their own touch screen phones.
