Nokia 5610 XpressMusic

Good camera, with flash
Music player offers good sound
Stylish form factor
Fast UI
Voice clarity is brilliant
Battery cover not easy to open
Nokia's newly launched phones with the Xpressmusic series tag have been the talk of the town for quite some time. Luckily for Nokia, the decision to remain low profile on the marketing strategy and market hype has worked wonders. Sort of like the underdog, the phones have generated enough curiosity in the consumers' mind.


In a change from the dozens of phones that Nokia floods the market with, the 5610 does seem a refreshingly different, and pretty stylish.


The phone, available in red and blue color schemes, features a sliding form factor, with an interestingly useful music dial that slides to either side and offers a change from the norm (2-way spring loaded Music Slider music key). The phone is quite sleek in its own right, boasting dimensions of 98.5 x 48.5 x 17 mm. It's pretty lightweight too.


The five-way D-Pad that also makes up the play/pause button is surrounded by the open keys and the call, cancel buttons. This flat-surface touch given to these keys really feels nice. The keypad on the inside is equally easy to use and responsive.


The fact that it uses a microUSB adhering to the protocol of the newly adopted "industry standards" gives you the feeling of staying in the loop. The rear of the phone has a black rugged look, and has the camera, a flash and the Nokia logo in blue (or red, if that's the color of the phone).

HI everyone, what i really want to know are the camera features. Yes, i already know that you can take pics in black and white and sepia....but what else?? Does it have frames? borders? Does it give you sizing options? Please let me know somebody before I buy it. Also, what about the internet browser options? Can you actually view webpages?? email?

aasim @ May 31, 2008
Hi,
I would like to have a mobile costing no more than 13k

Features:-
> Good camera is a must [ preferably 3+ MP ]
> Good Sound Quality. FM, Radio, Mp3 player
> 16M colors will be good
> I prefer Nokia but not bound to that.

I was comparing "Nokia - N73 ME" , "Nokia - 6500 Slide", "Nokia - 5610 XpressMusic"

also, my friend is having "Nokia - 5610 XpressMusic" he said sometimes it hangs while playing music. But the customer care assured him that they will release a software ( may be some patch or OS ) within 3 months, which will solve this problem.

Please help me.

The music slider key is craking off which is horrible, the cracked edges also hurts the palm while holding the phone.
There is also a problem with the display and network. The phone gets stuck when you are talking and suddenly no network signals.
I gave my phone to Nokia care centre for replacement and resloving the display problem they rejected it saying it is physical damage. can any body help me with this

Hi!
I bought this phone about a month back. luv it, bt am facing a problem....gets hung up wen i transfer stuff frm fone 2 memory card....i bought a transcend 1 gb card wid it, the memory is nt even half full, bt stll it gets stuck.....wat do i do?
Srijan @ Apr 21, 2008
Absolutely right, Nokia 5610 is a very good phone except the fact that slider is the worst thing in the phone. I brought this phone when it launched in November. Surprisingly it got broke automatically and I have tried almost all the priority dealers in Delhi but since from last almost 6 months I am getting the same answer "Sorry sir we do not have the spear for the same".

Apart from this the phone is awesome, handy, stylish.....................
Sanjiv @ Apr 19, 2008

Shreya @ Dec 20, 2007
I bought N5610 on 16th.Sound quality is not as good as expected,also supplied headphone sucks.There's a low noise that can be heard before a song starts.When it's used as a modem & something is downloaded,it can't receive calls.These r the bad sides of N5610.The good sides r attractive look,great camera,fast OS,microUSB.Battery is not bad.
Prasen Chandra Gope Mithu @ Dec 20, 2007
