Touch screen technology is well known to be intuitive, and this is why Nokia has taken this route with the 5800 XpressMusic.

The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic is able to deliver easy and fast access to all music, video and photos via a one-touch ‘Media Bar’ drop down menu. This very same Media Bar also offers a direct link to the Web and to online sharing.
