Back in 2007 the NUUT beat the Kindle to retail by a few months, but its plain styling and lack of features meant it couldn’t compete — especially for the same $300 price point.

Nokia’s XpressMusic 5800 troubled with speaker and NAM radio woes?
Seems all’s not rosy in North American XpressMusic 5800-land, as tipsters and forums are buzzing with reports that the newly launched touchscreen isn’t connecting to 3G.
