First look at Nokia 5730 XpressMusic
Mobile-review have posted a preview of the Nokia 5730 XpressMusic. Here is their final impression.
Call quality was never an issue with the 5730 XpressMusic, as it easily lived up to our expectations of a Nokia-branded phone. Ring tones sounded quite loud; we also found the 5730’s vibro alert was average strength-wise.
The version of software we played around with didn’t have the Contact Bar like that found in the Nokia 5800, but the 5730 XpressMusic’s presentation hints at this functionality, so we’ll have to wait a while more to see how this feature will work here. Other than that, the phone comes packaged with the standard feature set of FP2 3rd edition, expect for Say & Play and the abovementioned screen mode. While its camera is not stellar, at the end of the day the 5730 XpressMusic is positioned towards the lower end of mid-tier, so it’s hard to expect some bells and whistles from it. Its sales will kick off in April at the price-point of around 220 Euro, which makes it a viable option for those who are in the market for a cheap QWERTY-enabled smartphone. But, again, it’s still a niche product, so don’t expect any breakthroughs from it.
P.S. Later this week you’ll see the official announcement of this phone – probably on Wednesday. Don’t forget to check back for our world’s first review of the Nokia 5730 XpressMusic!
