Photos from the UK launch of the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic. Around 200 people queued, in the rain, outside the Nokia flagship store on London's Regent Street. Also includes unboxing photos of the 'special edition' 5800 that was on sale.

5800 branded bag Here's what people were given when they arrived at the till.
Concert tickets Free tickets to the music festival. For some this was a major draw to be one of the first 100 people.
10 free music tracks Gets people to try out the Nokia Music store.
Support card In case you run into trouble. It's a nice touch, and when you do phone up the staff are generally well informed and helpful.
WH-700 Headset This was the surprise freebie inside the bag. It retails for around £20 - £30.
Sparkly sleeve Nokia are increasingly using box sleeves as a way to differentiate different version of products or promote a particular inclusion. In this case its generic playing up some of the features of the phone.
Big writing on the side Another relatively recent addition to Nokia boxes (I think the first phone I saw with this was the N95 8GB).
