The 5610 is a sexy slider handset that comes in red and blue editions. It’s a bit larger than the its little brother the 5310 (99mm tall by 49mm wide by 17mm thick; 110 grams), but it’s still small enough to take on the go. It doesn’t have the same side-mounted music buttons, but it does have a sliding control above the navigation toggle that activates the music player with one swipe. Also, the camera lens on the 5610’s rear face has a flash.Features on the 5610 are a bit different than on the 5310. The camera has a 3.2-megapixel resolution, and the phone includes support for 3G bands used in North America, Europe and Australia. Other goodies include full Bluetooth with a stereo profile, an FM radio, a microSD card slot for cards up to 4GB, a speakerphone, and messaging and organiser applications. Only one quadband (GSM 850/900/1800/1900) version will be available.
The Nokia 5610 XpressMusic phone is the company’s music slider, and like the 5310, also announced at the same event, sits beneath the company’s multimedia N series handsets. Packing 3G connectivity, the Series 40 interface and a bump in digital camera specs from 2 as found in the 5310 to 3 megapixels, the idea behind the phone seems to offer music with a little extra. The package makes sense and in our brief play was easy to use performing well. Central to the design is a slider switch that sits beneath the 2.2-inch bright and crisp QVGA screen and above the menu keys on the top half of the slider.
When it comes to letting you enjoy all of the photos and music that can be packed into 4GB microSD card (not included), the 5610 XpressMusic has you covered. Your photos will look great on the 2.2″, 16 million color QVGA (240×320 pixel) display. Music can be enjoyed through wired or wireless stereo headphones thanks to built-in Bluetooth A2DP support. Sadly, though, the 5610 XpressMusic lacks the 3.5mm headphone jack that its slimmer brother, the 5310, offers.What the 5610 does offer that sets it apart, however, is a novel slider control for selecting music. It is also one of the devices that is compatible with the newly announced Nokia Music Store, though it only supports side-loading of music from a desktop computer.
Nokia has designed its 5610 XpressMusic with a 64 chords ringtone ringer, making a great phone for you to add many ringtones. If you like skinnable phones you will appreciate to know that the 5610 XpressMusic has customizable themes enabled. The gaming system included in the Nokia 5610 XpressMusic is based on J2ME, providing cool games to play with! Unsurprisingly, as it is available in all cell phones nowadays, the 5610 XpressMusic supports both SMS and EMS. Adding to that it supports MMS messaging to send all multimedia files! The phone includes a calendar which is very easy to use and Nokia provided a phone book having a capacity of 2000. The prediction text tool uses the T9 technology, being very easy to use. The High speed data transfer uses the WCDMA technology.
