Nokia 5730 XpressMusic review: Full musical keyboard

 

No news is good news and the Nokia 5730 XpressMusic is quite keen to go about humming that tune like it didn't care. Recruiting Symbian for an entertainment job is nothing new really and no, we're not surprised...

The Nokia 5730 XpressMusic is treating the younger crowd to the all-round skill of dad's E75. Alright, it may not be as simple as that but the 5730 is only just some corporate email (and plenty of steel) short of Eseries excellence. The XpressMusic...

Nokia 5730 Xpressmusic

 

Sometimes the brand name is just enough for the customers. Any new handset in the market from their house gets the publicity required, and thus gets swept up in a jiffy. Quality and reliability is the key word. Latest on the list is the Nokia 5730...

The Nokia 5730 Xpressmusic is elaborate in details. However, the big talks about the audio quality are rather hollow and the Symbian OS needs to take a break. Otherwise it is loaded with the available technologies and though out of the league, the...

Nokia 5730 XpressMusic

 

The Nokia 5730 XpressMusic is a new model with full slide-out QWERTY keyboard running Symbian S60 3.2 (Feature Pack 2). The Nokia 5730 XpressMusic also sports a 2-inch QVGA screen, GPS, 128MB of RAM, Bluetooth and a microSD card slot.

Great music features; Qwerty keypad; nice design

Buttons overload; heavy

At RM1,350, this phone is positioned as mid to high price range, but if you're looking for a music phone with more versatile features, then the Nokia 5730 is worth considering.

Nice phone

 

I like this phone. Nokia gets a lot of flack for an ancient mobile OS (Symbian), but it is a very capable OS and always comes through for me in a pinch.
