If you've been gritting your teeth and letting the PR onslaught of the iPhone 3G, Storm, and G1 knock you around as you waited for Nokia's entry into the widescreen, touchscreen superphone market - that wait appears to be nearing it's end. Nokia has gone and gotten all official and release-y with it's anticipated (if somewhat disappointing) 5800 XpressMusic or as we know it, the Tube.

Nokia won't be stuck with stuck phone screens for long. The company is expected to unveil its first touch-screen iPhone 3G rival, dubbed the "Tube," the Nokia 5800 series, on Tuesday. The Tube will be bundled with Nokia's "Comes With Music" service, which brings one year's worth of unlimited, DRM-free, downloads with the purchase of a Nokia phone. Following the termination of the year of free downloads, tracks can be kept without having to renew the subscription. Downloads are be both PC and mobile-based.
