Well, it seems like folks in Europe (or Spain, at least) already sold on the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic could be in for a bit more than they bargained for, as the phone is at this time listed on Nokia.es for €429 (or just under $550) which, even given the at this time weaker Euro, is Truly a leap from the €279 price for europ. that Nokia first declare just over a month ago. That still gets you an unlocked phone, however, and your choice of red, blue, or black colors, though it’ll no doubt give some folks cause to reconsider the increasingly plentiful touchscreen phone options out there these days.

Whoa, boy. Cue the second wave firestorm in 3, 2, 1…. After Nokia responded to outcries from N-Gage users who were infuriated at the idea of not being able to transfer their titles between handsets, all seemed to be well. at this time, however, we’re finding that there’s still a “one transfer policy” in effect, meaning that your games can only be ported from one handset to another one time before your world implodes. It should be noted, though, that a recent report at All About N-Gage asserts that said policy is only temporary, and that Nokia is currently working towards “a more permanent transfer method.” Of course, there’s no set time line for when we’ll see such a thing, and it’s not like the N-Gage niche as a whole is growing in leaps and bounds; in other words, you N-Gage fanatics may want to pick a handset and stay content — you might be relying on it for awhile.

If there’s some pressing matter that’s preventing you from making it out to an AT&T store, there’s a plan B you might want to investigate at this time that the carrier’s website has started offering the Samsung Eternity for sale. It’ll run you the same $149.99 on contract after rebate that it’s going for in-store — or $379.99 commitment-free if your life is too awesome and chaotic to sign it away for two years. Any Vu owners planning on caving to temptation?
