This picture is of the rumored new phone from Nokia, the Nokia 5900, which got leaked yesterday on a Chinese site related to mobile phones. The pictures of the phone are everywhere now. As the name says, the phone is the successor of the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, the first touch screen from Nokia, which did pretty well, though it failed to kill the popularity of the iPhone, I guess people started liking the iPhone's touch screen more after they used the Nokia 5800. Anyway, Nokia 5900 has a more advanced capacitative touch screen, 3.5 inch screen, Symbian S60 version 5 touch UI and the phone seems to be slimmer than the Nokia 5800. You can also see the words XpressMusic written on the top right corner of the phone, they way they are written on the Nokia 5800. If you check out the front of the phone, there are just three buttons, like the Nokia 5800 but this time Nokia has marked the buttons properly (Nokia 5800 had just three buttons in the form of dashes, Red, Green and Blue). It seems that, when designing these buttons, Nokia took inspiration from Samsung. Some of the fully touch screen phones from Samsung have these kind of buttons.

Anyway, there is still a question mark about the authenticity of this phone and as always it happens with leaks and rumors, there is no official word from Nokia on this phone. But I have a strong feeling that this phone is from Nokia and its the successor of the Nokia 5800, the proof being the red and blue thin lines that run around the border of the phone, just like the Nokia 5800, the back side of the phone is very similar to the Nokia 5800. The phone is wider than the Nokia 5800 and if you look at the white one, it looks a bit like the white E71. By the way, there was a news that, Nokia is planning to get capacitative touch screen for the Nokia 5800, you never know, Nokia just made a new phone!!!
