And talking of hot, so hot it's not even out yet (but will hit UK shops early next year) Nokia has finally come up with a touchscreen phone of its very own.

Expect the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic to ooze build quality, as per usual with Nokia high end offerings, though the Finns have plumped for a resistive touchscreen (hence the stylus) - albeit probably a very well implemented one. It runs the latest iteration of Symbian's S60 OS too - so even more shiny and new. Nokia also claims it will support Flash video - unlike the iPhone.

The 5800 will also be one of the first devices to have Nokia's Comes With Music service so users will get free unlimited music downloads too. For the more business-minded user, it's got Microsoft Exchange email support too.

Verdict: Quality first
