Nokia 5700 XpressMusic
Expected
Q2 2007 29th March 2007
If the Nokia 5700 XpressMusic looks a little familiar,
then there's a good reason. Broadly speaking the 5700
is an update of the 3250
that hit the market early last year, sharing a similar
swivelling keypad and the Symbian S60 operating system.
It's a fairly substantial step up from the 3250 in
terms of technical specifications - the Nokia 5700 Xpress
Music is a 3G phone with quad-band GSM, it has an improved
QVGA (240x320 pixel) display in 16 million colours,
stereo Bluetooth plus a dedicated audio chip to help
with music playback. Nokia have added all these features
while trimming 15 grams off the weight.
As with the 3250, the Nokia 5700 has a two megapixel
camera and microSD expandable memory, up to 2GB on the
5700. Internal memory is pretty limited at about 35MB
or so, and we're not clear about what memory card is
included in the pack.
The
Nokia 6700 XpressMusic supports a variety of multimedia
types including MP3, MPEG4, AAC and WMA files although
we'd expect to find an FM radio in this type of device
and the 5700 doesn't seem to have one.
The styling has changed from the rather dull looking
3250 too and it's rather more in line with the popular
Nokia
5300 and 5200 models.
There's nothing in the Nokia 5700 XpressMusic
that we haven't seen before, but it still seems to be
an appealing package for consumers. Nokia say that the
5700 should be available from Q2 2007 at a price of
around €350 before tax and subsidy.
