Despite the challenging environment and the continued global economic slowdown, combined with unprecedented currency volatility, Nokia 5800 continues to register an impressive sales results and here is yet another story about the very successful launch of the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, the company's first mass market full touchscreen device.

In a matter of fact this is not surprise at all, Nokia 5800 is features rich but yet very affordable device designed to appeal to budget-conscious buyers and it is one of the main reason why it has been received very positively.

Following its successful sales starts in a number of markets, including Hong Kong and especially Moscow where the device sold out within hours of the sales start. Nokia 5800 is the most wanted phone ever for Thai people as well!

My friend Sittiphol Phanvilais from Forum Nokia Blog reports about the great success of Nokia 5800 in Thailand!

The phone started selling at 1.00 PM but let guess when the first one come to queue? ... 5.00 AM!! He is the student that wait 5800 for a long time. Congratulations, at last you owned it. ;)

Although the air temperature is quite hot (35C) but they are willing to wait. Thanks Nokia Thailand for well management. They have food for the customer in queue all the time.

If who get tired or feel hot, they also have refreshing towel for free too! Wow! However, they are nearly no need since the queue went quite fast because of hundred of cashier counters Nokia managed for customer.
