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.

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.

Instant Swap key for quick one key switching between phone, music, and sports modes

On top of the Nokia N95 with 8GB, and the two new versions of the Nokia N81, the giant mobile phone company from Finland also introduced the Nokia 5310 XpressMusic, which is made specially for the music lovers to enjoy.

It has a sleek look with its rounded corners and red plus black combination of colors, only weighing close to 71 grams and an impressive 9.9mm of thickness.One of the important details is the battery life, since music lovers like to listen to music non-stop for long periods of time, the Nokia 5310 can handle 18 hours of music playback.

Other features include a 2-megapixel camera, a microSD memory card slot with a maximum capacity of 4GB, a QVGA screen that measures 2-inches and offers 16 million colors, and last but not least, special keys located on the left side which are dedicated to control the music.

Completing the music focus, the handset features a 3.5mm headphone jack and it’s a nice addition to the model compared to Sony Ericsson’s insistence on forcing you to use an adapter. Of course, as with the N95, we know that the hole will soon fill with pocket lint however.

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.

Dedicated keys for convenient music play
Dedicated music keys for instant access to favorite tunes

The 5300 XpressMusic sports a 2.0-inch TFT screen, 1.3-megapixel camera and camcorder, music player and FM radio; all function without sliding the phone open. For usability, the its screen features buttons on either side; on the left to control the Music Player and on the right turn on the Camera and adjust the zoom and function as the Volume Control.

The side navigation keys also provide easy access to the Music Library, supporting MP3, MIDI, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, and WMA file formats. Music listeners can download songs directly from the Web and/or transfer the songs to the phone with the free Nokia Audio Manager application.

The 2.5mm headset jack is found on the left side, together with three dedicated music keys. The Infrared port, camera, and volume buttons are found on the right. The power button, power jack, and USB port are found on the top, whereas the camera and speaker grille holes are found on the back. Notice that the music keys slightly protrude, making it easier to skip tracks in your pocket, though they can be a bit hard to press. All in all, the Nokia 5300 has a well thought-out design. It would have been better if there was some protection to cover up the USB and power ports, though.

The audio quality won’t rival that of your iPod; but, whether the sound plays through the included 2.5mm headphones or the external speaker, it’s better than what we’ve heard from most music phones. Songs occasionally sounded tinny when played over the speaker, but overall the audio was very good.

As a phone, the 5300 works well. Its rubbery exterior makes it comfortable to hold, and it slides open nicely with one hand. The unit is light enough to hold comfortably next to your ear during long conversations. Call quality and volume were quite good, but the talk-time battery life was only fair: It lasted 5 hours, 6 minutes in our lab tests.

The Nokia 5300 is quite capable when it comes to handling calls and contact lists. Voice quality was good, though callers complained of background noise as we made our way through the packed, noisy streets of Manhattan. Signal strength was always strong in New York using a T-Mobile SIM card. The speakerphone is among the loudest we’ve used, but while the phone sports speaker-independent voice dialing, we found performance on voice commands to be very poor; the phone didn’t recognize a single name we spoke. Bluetooth and push-to-talk capabilities are present, and conference calling was not difficult. The contact list accommodated plenty of fields, though you must add them one at a time if you want more than a single name and number per contact. Through the Nokia PC studio, the phone syncs your desktop-based Outlook contacts.

While specifications for the Nokia 5200 aren’t that high-end, it does provide for a compact device for people on the go. On the music front, Nokia has included support for MP3, WMA, M4A, AAC, AAC+, and eAAC+ format files, and thrown in a microSD memory card slot for storing up to 2GB of audio. While the 5200 only provides a 2.5mm headphone port, Nokia has kindly included a 3.5mm adapter and a set of headphones in the box. Limited imaging is available through a VGA resolution camera that can also record video at QCIF resolution. Connectivity wise, the tri-band (GSM 900/1800/1900MHz) Nokia 5200 supports USB, Infrared, and Bluetooth, as well as EDGE high-speed data.

Nokia 5200 seems to have borrowed LG’s Chocolate design, like many other phones that were launched after LG’s big market success terminal. Oh yes, it’s a ”flip, flip, flipper” ladies and gentlemen. Unfortunately, it’s totally made of plastic. If you don’t mind this, you will surely love Nokia’s 5200 model. Further more, the handset has been designed like a music phone, thus it has music controls on both sides. On the left side, there’s the music button, used for opening or closing the MP3 player or the FM radio, and also the 2.5mm stereo jack for headset. On the right side of the phone we can find other two buttons that control the volume of the music, and one button which controls the camera. All buttons are greatly embedded in the frame of the device making them hardly noticeable. Like all Nokia’s handsets, the power button states its business from the top of the device. Just near the power button, there’s the charger port and the USB port. On the bottom of the phone there’s … nothing. Lastly, on the back of the handset we can find the camera for taking photos. I have to mention this because it’s important: I had big troubles opening the back lid, be very careful ’cause it’s very fragile. Oops, forgot to mention the microSD card slot, but I’m entitled to do that and you’ll see why. When I took the phone, I knew its specifications and was looking for the microSD slot all over its frame. Didn’t find it, so I opened the back lid thinking that it has a motoRAZR-like layout. Took out the battery only to find that there is no card slot there whatsoever. So, the only thing left was the manual. I opened it and … Evrika, we have the microSD slot card up on the left side (just near the headset port), but you have to open the back lid otherwise you can’t reach it. Wicked :)! If you are more of a math guy, here are its numbers: 92.4 x 48.2 x 20.7 mm and 104 grams weight (including battery).

Nokia 5200 has GPRS Class 10 and EDGE capabilities, a FM radio and a music player supporting MP3, SpMidi, AAC, AAC+ and enhanced AAC+ formats. It has MP3, video and 64-voice polyphonic ring-tones. It supports all basic features, such as, SMS, MMS, Instant Messaging, email, Alarm clock, Reminders, Stopwatch, Countdown timer, Calculator, Calendar, Notes, etc. The phone uses a XHTML web browser.
