On the 10th of this month saw Nokia pulling out a surprise from it’s hat. Nokia outed three new models, expanding the Xpressmusic line further. The 5730, which we already know about in detail, is a QWERTY device. This form factor is a first for Nokia. The E75 which is the more jazzed up version of this form factor is yet to hit the market and the N97 is way off.
The 5730 features a 1000mAh battery which is estimated to give a music playback time of 25 hours. The 5730 also features a ‘dot matrix’ font. Which is quite cool, though I wonder how it will look in the dark? The 2.4″ screen is also pretty good for the device.
Next up we have the Nokia Xpressmusic 5330. The 5330 is a slider, which looks like a successor to the 5610. The 5330 has a very different look from all the current Xpressmusic series phones. I guess Nokia is experimenting with the Nseries look for the Xpressmusic line. The top portion of the phone is square which makes it really standout from the current crop of sliders. The 5330 has the same screen and battery as the 5730, the music playback on this baby is 26 hours. It is expected to be available in two colours red and white. This phone has a lot of Ovi features integrated into it, Facebook and Youtube to name a few. a 3.2 mega pixel camera with full focus and flash completes the package.
Last we have, the 5030. The 5030 is one of the first Nokia phones to feature a built in radio antenna, this means you don’t need to plug in a headset to listen to the radio channels. This is the only revolutionary feature in this phone. The 5030 is aimed for the developing markets, this is evident from the spec sheet. The 5030 does not have any memory card slot or a camera. This is a basic phone with a colour screen (1.8″ TFT, 128×160, 65k colour) and a radio. Though it does look fancy.
The 5730 is the only S60 device from all the three. The remaining two run the Java based S40 in some form or the other.
