Nokia 5800 Blog readers and enthusiasts from India, your time has come, the phone now has a release date for your country, so pre-order it, and let us know your reactions when January comes!

According to Symbian-Freak, the price will be Rs 21,839, which is higher than the price announced for Europe. Is it normal pricing in India? Is it fair, unfair? Let us know! What I do know is that it's lower than the iPhone there, and it won't be locked to network.

Here is the statement from Anssi Vanjoki, Executive Vice President, Nokia:

"With more than 300 million music enabled devices sold, and a strong base of over 10 Nokia Music stores in operation globally, Nokia has been able to gain incredible amount of knowledge and insights on what people want in a music device and track important trends on how people consume music. We will continue to break new grounds in this space by building more and better services for our consumers."

D. Shivakumar, Managing Director, Nokia India said:

"As Nokia's first mass-market device with a touch screen, the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic turns a 'user interface' into a 'human interface' by truly putting people first. When it comes to music phones, people all over the world want a device that is a great music experience - with more memory, loud and powerful speakers, easy synchronization - and must still work well as a mobile phone with direct access to important contacts and content. The iconic Nokia 5800 XpressMusic delivers on all these counts."

Oh, and if that wasn't enough, Nokia Music Store beta should open in January too.

For the meanwhile, delight yourself with the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic review from PhoneReport.
