For those out of the know, the new Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition is a sleek handset that the Finnish manufacturer has introduced a few months ago, in the summer. Billed as the perfect mix between a personal navigator and an advanced media player the new 5800 Navigation Edition has just been announced today to be shipping across the United States with lifetime voice-guidance (for all of North America) offered by the Ovi Maps and a car mount kit.

Available with an integrated Assisted-GPS receiver that vouches to keep you on track, the new Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition allows you to get speed limit warnings, speed camera alerts and updated traffic information along with navigation help for pedestrians which include for example shortcuts like one-way streets, parks and pathways.

The PND comes preloaded with updated US and Canadian maps that will save you some traffic with your carrier for downloading more data via the phone’s HSDPA connection — unless, of course, you’re living in one of the 180 other countries it supports.

As you already suspected Nokia 5800 NE boasts a 3.2-inch high resolution touch display, a 3.2-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss lens, autofocus and dual flahs,  a microSD card slot to expand the storage space to up to 16GB and Bluetooth 2.0 connectivity.

All these for $299 online on Nokia USA.
