The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic has just passed through the FCC again, this time packing dual-band UMTS (850/1900MHz) support for North American 3G networks. This version, also known as the NAM variant, will support HSDPA data speeds on both AT&T and Rogers' 3G networks, though neither carrier has stated it will carry the 5800 XpressMusic.
