Nokia 5610 XpressMusic
Discontinued 29th August 2007
The Nokia 5610 XpressMusic is a midrange
3G slider phone that is full of features that you'd
previously only expect to find in a high-end device.
Priced at around €300 / £200 /
$400 before tax and subsidy, the Nokia 5610 comes with
a 3.2 megapixel camera, 2.2" QVGA display,
quad-band GSM with dual-band 850/2100 UMTS, microSD
expandable memory (up to 4GB), an FM radio, stereo
Bluetooth and a novel slider key for one-touch media
access.
The XpressMusic branding should
tell you that Nokia consider this to be a multimedia
phone, the 5610 can directly access Nokia's new
Nokia Music Store service, it comes with dedicated media
buttons and it can play back MP3, AAC, M4A and WMA files.
But the Nokia 5610 XpressMusic also scores well when
it comes to the camera, not only is it a 3.2 megapixel
unit, but it has a flash, autofocus and can capture
video clips at up to 640 x 480 pixel resolution. These sort
of digital imaging capabilities were previously
restricted to high-end N-Series phones.
It isn't a smartphone - the Nokia 5610
XpressMusic is a Symbian Series 40 device which means
that the software can't be expanded, but then most people
aren't bothered about that. It does seem to deliver
pretty much all the features that most consumers would
want, and at a pretty reasonable price.
The Nokia 5610 XpressMusic will be available
in red and blue colour combinations during Q4 2007.
