Nokia 5130 XpressMusic

 Nokia 5130 XpressMusic Discontinued
4th November 2008

Designed as an entry-level music phone, the Nokia 5130 XpressMusic offers remarkably good value for money at just €90 (around £70) before tax and subsidy.

 Nokia 5130 XpressMusic For this relatively modest sum, you get a phone with an MP3 player, microSD expandable memory (with 1GB in the standard sales package), a 2" 240 x 320 pixel display, 2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth, an FM radio and a standard 3.5mm audio socket. There are dedicated media keys on the side plus quite visible stereo speakers.

The Nokia 5130 XpressMusic is a quad-band GSM phone with GPRS and EDGE data. It is relatively lightweight at 88 grams, and the 5130's overall measurements are 108 x 47 x 15mm. Battery life is pretty good with a maximum of 6 hours talktime and 12 days standby time.

It's an impressive package for the money, and it looks really attractive too. The biggest drawback that we can see is that the Q1 2009 launch date means that the 5130 XpressMusic won't be available for Christmas.

Remember the Nokia 5000? Well, the 5130 is about the same price and much better. Confusingly, the 5130's specification is also pretty similar to last year's Nokia 5310, but the 5130 is significantly cheaper. Overall, we think that Nokia have a winner with this handset, and we suspect that it will be very popular in a number of markets.
