According to blog NokNok, Spaniards will be the first Europeans to get their mitts on Nokia’s 5800 XpressMusic touchscreen phone (the phone formerly known as Tube). It launches on December 1, just prior to Nokia World (taking place in Barcelona, December 2-3) for around 279 Euros.

While the 3.2″ touchscreen isn’t designed to compete directly against the iPhone, it does feature plenty of music functionality, Series 60 5th edition back-end, 3.2 MP camera and an accelerometer.

Don’t want to add to climate change with a short-haul flight to Spain? The 5800 is expected early in the new year here.
