Handset maker’s first touch screen smartphone struggled to connect to 3G networks in New York, Chicago.
Nokia Corp. said it has resolved the connection issues with its touchscreen XpressMusic 5800 handset, and expects it to be back on the market soon.
“We have concluded this was an isolated situation related to a configuration change in the North American variant,” said Nokia spokesman Joseph Gallo.”We have now adjusted the configuration and will resume sales shortly.”
On Monday, Nokia acknowledged that the 5800 – the company’s first attempt at a touchscreen smartphone to rival Apple Inc.’s iPhone – was having problems connecting to the faster third-generation, or 3G, network in New York and Chicago. Phones in those markets were pulled from the shelves.

New figures released Sunday by NetApplications show that Apple Inc. dominated global Web browsing from mobile phones in February with the iPhone, with 66.4% of all Web surfing from mobile devices occurring on the Apple device. Microsoft Corp. accounts for about 6.9% from handsets running its Windows Mobile operating system, according to NetApplications.
That’s nearly a perfect reversal of the balance of power in the Web browser market overall, which mainly consists of Internet surfing on personal computers. Microsoft’s Internet Explorer in total accounts for 67.4% of Web browsing, while Apple’s Safari accounted for a little over 8%.
