"The new Nokia 5800 XpressMusic smartphone is gradually becoming available throughout the world, and marks the first time Nokia has made a touchscreen-based phone using the popular Symbian S60 operating system. S60 is used by the new N-Gage platform, so in theory any new phone with S60 can also be N-Gage-compatible (though in real life it's not quite that simple). Nokia has also said that it will bring N-Gage to touchscreen phones in 2009, and that's why All About N-Gage is taking an in-depth look at the 5800 and the S60 5th Edition interface."

Maybe it's not up to the job and we'll have to wait for the N97 after all?
