all the time.That’s why the hot Bollywood actress is excited about the launch of Nokia 5800 XpressMusic. “It’s a boon to music aficionados like me,” says Priyanka, adding, “I remain connected through my phone even while I’m travelling. And I quite like the features of its touch screen and some fabulous music offerings. At the touch of my finger or through the stylus, the set comes alive in lovely colours. I have the red version, but I think I like the blue set too!”
With the new phone was also the launch of the first mobile music album preloaded on it. Titled Nokia Connections, it includes nine soulful compositions by AR Rahman, Sukhwinder, Sivamani, Blaaze and others. They are of different Indian music genres and languages such as Rajasthani, Punjabi folk, Hindi, Tamil, etc. Rahman says, “Nokia Connections is very close to my heart and today, a song like Jiya Se Jiya is relevant as its message is to embrace everyone, irrespective of region, religion or language.”
Talking about the phone’s innovative features, Raghuvesh Sarup, director of portfolio and categories, Nokia India, says, “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, louder and powerful speakers, easy synchronisation – and which 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.”
