Nokia has been forced to pull the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic from sale due to faulty speaker hardware, and faulty 3G hardware causing 3G connection issues for those that live in 3G areas.

Customers have been returning the phone almost as quickly as it was purchased once the issues arose with many comments echoing similar issues to the aforementioned along with confirmation of the faulty speaker hardware yesterday.

Nokia has pulled the model from the flagship locations in New York and Chicago while replacing it with the Euro-spec model until the issues are resolved, although it is not known exactly when they will be fixed.
