Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime announced this day that the “DSi wouldn’t be released in North America until ‘well into calendar year 2009.’” Videos after the break.

Reggie cited strong US sales of the current hardware model, DS Lite, as the reason for the delay. In other words, while Japan gets to tinker with the new toy in just a month, we’ll be buying up all the old stock for months to come.

Nokia unveils the 5800 XpressMusic, previously called the “Tube”. It features a “3.2-inch 640 x 360 resistive touchscreen to go along with its 3.2-megapixel autofocus cam, Carl Zeiss optics, dual LED flash, GPS, WiFi, 3.5mm jack, and a microSD slot with support for 16GB cards.” Click here for first picture in gallery.

The phone ships this fall in Europe, and will show up next year in the States without a carrier, though hopefully it picks up one soon — a $50 subsidised price tag could turn this thing into a hit if the US carriers don’t sit on it too long.
