The Nokia 5500 sport is designed to suit a user with an active lifestyle & comes with unique sporting features. The handset has a stainless steel casing which is grey in colour & is shock, dust & water resistant. The durable handset weighs 103 grams & measures 107 x 45 x 18 mm which is compact for the user to carry with them at all times. The phone has a TFT type screen which displays 262k colours & has a 208 x 208 pixel screen resolution. The Nokia 5500 Sport comes with swap keys which allow the user to easily switch between features such as music, phone & sports modes. The phone comes with 64 Mbytes of internal memory & included in the phones kit comes a 64 Mbytes MicroSD™ memory card to expand the phones memory further. The user can expand the phones memory up to 1 Gbyte by using the swappable MicroSD™ memory cards which are available for the phone. The phone will provide 4 hours worth of talk time & up to 270 hours worth of standby time.
Those really liking their music can listen to up to 4GB of music via the expandable miroSD slot in the phone and this should give you around 3000 tracks. The battery life will last up to 18 hours although we didn’t have that much time to test whether this is true or not in our brief play.
However real music fans, will be disappointed. The 5310 isn’t one of the new handsets capable of accessing Nokia’s new dedicated music download store also launched at the same event.
The PTT key and volume controls are found on the left side, whereas the Infrared port, instant swap key, and edit key are found on the right side. The instant swap key gives you one button access to sports, music, and phone functions, and the edit key allows you to change your input method when you enter text.
Just like the older 5000 series handsets, the screen is square. Surrounding the screen is a rubber protection strip with the hang-up and dial buttons hidden at the tip of both ends. The rubber keypad is completely smooth, but the indentation along each row makes it easier for differentiation between keys. However, the buttons are quite hard to press, and using the phone non-stop for five minutes is likely to start to hurt your thumb. The bottom line of the alphanumeric keypad is the worst at this. In the dark the phone looks quite cool when the whole yellow frame gets lit up with the numbers glowing in white. Notice that the d-pad color changes with respect to the function mode: white for normal, red for sports, and yellow for music.
