Cutting-Edge Multimedia Experience with Full Nationwide Coverage on Best Wireless Network in Cincinnati and Dayton 


CINCINNATI-- Cincinnati Bell Wireless, a division of Cincinnati Bell Inc. (NYSE: CBB) today became the first U.S.-based carrier to launch the internationally acclaimed Nokia 5800 XpressMusic smartphone in the United States. The debut of Nokia's first mass market touch screen smartphone on a U.S. operator has been heavily anticipated by consumers seeking the enhanced functionality of a touch screen handset at an attractive price point.

"The touch screen Nokia 5800 XpressMusic adds a new dimension to Cincinnati Bell's growing smartphone line up," said Tim Bracken, director of consumer wireless for Cincinnati Bell. "It truly is a modern entertainment device with advanced Web browsing, built-in GPS, picture messaging, and music capabilities that surpass expectations for a fresh everyday smartphone. Also, the Nokia 5800 is WiFi-enabled, which means customers can achieve some of the fastest data speeds available today."

Highly regarded for the music and audio playback features, the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic comes with an 8GB microSD memory card and a one touch `Media Bar.' The Media Bar enables one-touch access to a user's music collection, image and video gallery, web browser and other multimedia functions. The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic also boasts a 3.2 megapixel camera enhanced with a Carl Zeiss lens. Images and video are displayed on the vibrant high-resolution 3.2-inch screen in nHD.

"The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic has sold over three million units globally since it came to market in October of 2008 through our various partnerships including a wide range of operators," says Ian Laing, Vice President of Sales, Nokia North America. "With the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, Cincinnati Bell Wireless customers will receive a spectacular music experience along with the quality expected from a Nokia device."

Along with the Media Bar, the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic also comes with a unique Contacts Bar, allowing consumers to easily keep in touch with their favorite contacts. The Contacts Bar allows for access to a visual history of incoming, outgoing and missed calls, text and multimedia messages and their most recent blog posts.

The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic makes an ideal gift for Mother's Day, Father's Day or graduations. Measuring 4.27 x 2.04 x 0.61 inches and weighing just 3.8 ounces, this handset is sharp, slim and loaded with features including:
