Nokia 5610 XpressMusic Phone, White
I received this phone as an upgrade from T-mobile. The only thing that i could say is that it meets my expectations. This being a Series 40 Phone from Nokia, i didn’t expect much from it. The display is really vibrant and the appearance itself is very eye catching. The keypad is an easy reach and very comfortable to use. The battery life is excellent compared to the n-series phones i’ve owned. The only bad part is that T-mobile branded this phone and removed it’s original factory settings. As a result, you can’t install any third party softwares; which is a bad thing because nokia has alot of enhancement third party softwares. But other than that, it’s a very excellent phone.

This phone has been very practical in use. Most of the key features that the phone has are very good and some of them are excellent in my opinion.
I’d like to start with DESIGN and it absolutely grabbed my attention when I bought it. Modern, urban and handy; the minute you put it in your hand you will like it, if not love it.
TEXTING is very easy and convenient.
SCREAN is good enough, unless you are using it for games – you may find it a little too small. Other than that it is great not too big and not too small. COLORS are great too!
SIZE. These days for some reason cell phone technology have a tendency to make mobile devices bigger and I am not a big fun of that. For example: I phone – it is big enough to kill bugs and flights that are bothering you in the summer time, which I have to say adds a new feature, but I do like when my phone can easily fit in my pocket. This is another reason why I find Nokia 5610 Xpress Music to be great!
MUSIC PLAYER. Nokia 5610 Xpress Music technically replaced my ipod I mean it! With a 2GB memory card I have like 500 tracks and the sound quality is truly amazing considering that this is the cell phone.
CALL. I used to have Nokia 6610 phone back in a day, when phones with colorful display were just getting popular and I did have a complain about the call quality. The sound was not clear and I had a real trouble with it in any loud places. Nokia 5610 Xpress Music is different and different in a good way. The sound is clear.
BATTERRY is decent, but not the best. Mine is good for 4 days on single charge (I do talk often and text a lot). But if I really use it a lot it keeps up for only 3 days.
If you want a multitasking phone that easy fits in you pockets with a great design Nokia 5610 Xpress Music is the way to go!

I love this phone. It looks cool, I have 400 songs with me at all times, and it’s easy to use! I text all the time and the buttons are easy to hit the ones you want. The speakers are amazing! I was so suprised by how loud they were. I can play music out loud to other people or in my car if I forget my transmitter. The sound quality is as good as an ipod (if the music file is legitimate.)The only issue I have is the battery life. It usually lasts for five days with rgular/normal use. It runs out a lot faster when I listen to music a lot, but I just have to remember to charge it up at night which is no big deal. Also, i get internet on mine, and i have had it freeze a few times (that might just be the sites problem, not the phone.) I spent a hundred dollars on mine, but i don’t mind since i needed a new phone, but maybe try to wait to see if the price goes down. I am very happy with it however. Just make sure you buy a case to protect the screen and body. Oh, and the display is beautiful, downloaded videos are okay (again it may not even be the phone with the issue). the screen is kinda small for videos, so movies ect. probably won’t be so good, but music videos look great. I highly recomend it if you are looking for an everyday phone for calling, texting, music! It practically replaces an ipod, since i bring my phone evrywhere and not my ipod. I just put my favorite songs on it since I can only fit about 500-600:)I heard you can buy a bigger micro sd and fit around 1000-1500 depending on the size! thats the size of an ipod nano! one more thing!
try to get a thin case, otherwise the phone is looks too bulky (even though its not!) and it doesn’t fit in your jean pockets so well!

The Nokia seemed great from what I saw on Amazon, I decided to finally move away from Apple and it’s overly protected music and this was going to be my first step. I quickly began converting music from iTunes into mp3 format and uploading it on my phone, I was rather impressed with the phone, it runs very quickly, the camera is very impressive for its size and the interface is very easy. My only small complaint is that maybe the buttons are a bit cheap, but I was used to the nice keypad on the MotoRazr.
My large complaint is this: after having uploaded all my music on to the phone, I sat down and attempted to plug my headphones into the oh-so-wonderful headphone jack on the top, but to no avail. The headphone jack is a specially designed Nokia headphone jack. This means that I have to use the 2-foot adapter cable that Nokia provides in order to listen to music, not only is it extremely long, but it also has an incredibly large button on it that will play and pause the music whenever it hits anything (there’s no hold button.) Nokia also provides their own cheap airline-style headphones with the phone, and THEY need the adapter too… How hard can it be to put a normal sized headphone jack on a phone? I’m now restricted to using one of the two types of headphones that Nokia supplies for this type of jack, so I won’t be using either…It almost seems like they don’t WANT you to use the music player, I guess Apple wins this battle…
