5730 XpressMusic smartphone – a simple review
November 9, 2009 by: Dennis Hager
What do you expect from a music phone? With its 5730 XpressMusic, the latest addition to Nokia’s music-centric portfolio, a slide out QWERTY keyboard is slipped into the mix, as Nokia makes a play for the music fan who wants some heavyweight messaging muscle to go with top-of-the-bill tune-playing.
While some of Nokia’s earlier XpressMusic models were trim with a few music controls but light on high-end gadgetry, the 5730 is a chunky candybar that crams in plenty of tech stuff.
It runs on the non-touchscreen Symbian S60 3rd Edition smartphone platform, packs HSDPA high speed mobile data connectivity and Wi-Fi, and includes A-GPS satellite positioning inside. An 8GB MicroSD memory card is supplied in-box too.
Its QWERTY keyboard is in place to handle a multitude of text messaging, email, and instant messaging duties, and for a bit of online social networking and internet browsing.
