After 5800 has turned out to be a major hit for Nokia, they are now readying for a small update to its first touch screen handset in the form of Nokia 5800i XpressMusic phone. After you hear the name, you may think that this is a upgrade over Nokia 5800 with some extra feature but sorry to disappoint, this model is not an upgrade over Nokia 5800 but in fact a downgrade over the present model, The Wi-fi connectivity has been removed from this particular model.
Another notable change in the phone is the camera. Though the phone still has 3.2 MP camera, the focus distance of Nokia 5800i camera has been put as 4.6mm as opposed to 3.7mm of Nokia 5800, according to the specs present in the FCC website. This change means either of the two things, a narrower field of view or a larger sensor behind the camera. But as GSM Arena points out, it is most probably the later one which means better camera results.
However, there is not much info out there yet and we would have to just wait for a while to get the full details about this phone.
What do you think about this new phone? Would you prefer a better image quality over Wi-Fi connectivity? Do Pass on your comments.

No, personally i don’t prefer having better camera and no wifi. Wifi is free in many hot spots and there is no point for a modern device like 5800 to have no wifi.
I want both, better camera and wifi connectivity. I dont andersent why nokia making this phone when other brants they given you camera and wifi.
No, wifi is an important requirement in today’s cell. I can’t figure it out why is nokia degrading after a successful sale of Nokia 5800. I expected that atleast camera should be made 5.0MP including WiFi in 5800i. Nokia has disappointed me in this respect.
