Board of Directors
Sona Mobile Holdings Corp.

New York, New York 10167

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel to Sona Mobile Holdings Corp. (the ‘‘Company’’) in connection with the Company’s filing of a Registration Statement on Form SB-2 (the ‘‘Registration Statement’’) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the ‘‘Commission’’) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the ‘‘Securities Act’’), relating to 12,133,333 shares (the ‘‘Shares’’) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the ‘‘Common Stock’’). The Shares are to be offered by the selling stockholders named in the Registration Statement (the ‘‘Selling Stockholders’’) from time to time pursuant to Rule 415 of the rules and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act. The Shares consist of (i) 6,666,667 shares of Common Stock (the ‘‘Note Shares’’) issuable upon the conversion of 8% Senior Unsecured Convertible Debentures (the ‘‘Notes’’) that were issued by the Company in a private placement in November 2007 (the ‘‘Private Placement’’), (ii) 3,333,333 shares of Common Stock (the ‘‘Warrant Shares’’) issuable upon the exercise of warrants (the ‘‘Warrants’’) issued in the Private Placement and (iii) 2,133,333 shares of Common Stock issuable as payment of interest (the ‘‘Interest Shares’’) assuming all interest during the term of the Notes is paid in shares of Common Stock and at a rate equal to 75% of the conversion price of the Notes.

In connection herewith, we have examined:

1.    the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended of the Company;

2.    the Bylaws of the Company;

3.    the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 26, 2007, among the Company and the investors set forth on the signature pages thereto (the ‘‘Purchase Agreement’’);

4.    the Notes;

5.    the Warrants; and

6.    the Registration Statement.

We have also examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such other corporate records, agreements and instruments of the Company, certificates of public officials and officers of the Company and of the Selling Stockholders, and such other documents, records and instruments, and we have made such legal and factual inquiries, as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for us to render the opinions hereinafter expressed. In our examination of the foregoing, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal competence and capacity of natural persons, the authenticity of documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity with authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies. When relevant facts were not independently established, we have relied without independent investigation as to matters of fact upon statements of governmental officials and upon representations made in or pursuant to the certificates and statements of appropriate representatives of the Company.

Based on the foregoing, and in reliance thereon, and subject to the assumptions, comments, qualifications, limitations and exceptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that the Note Shares, the Warrant Shares and the Interest Shares have been duly authorized and, when issued by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement and the Notes and/or Warrants (as applicable), will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.





This opinion is not rendered with respect to any laws other than the laws of the State of Delaware.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5.1 to the Registration Statement and to the used of our name under the caption ‘‘Legal Matters’’ in the prospectus filed as part thereof. We also consent to your filing copies of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement with agencies of such states as you deem necessary in the course of complying with the laws of such states regarding the offering and sale of the securities addressed herein. In giving such consent, we do not thereby concede that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission.

Very truly yours,

/s/ Bryan Cave LLP
