Got it already! tapi Zitron set 1450 .I like that it was fast, fastest booting symbian i ever got o. No lag even wit 2GB MicroSD.The speaker is good, pretty close to SE liao. Got Stereo widening, loudness n sum other ting to play with.So I usually listen to it on speaker now. There is 1 big downside: u still cannot stick ur Sony Walkmans earbuds to this nokia.It still uses a 2.5mm jack instead of a 3.5mm one.which require a adapter/handsfree thingy to convert to 3.5mm. the adapter thingy came in white color wires, even when i got the black 5700. So I think all other color is also going to be white.good luck keeping it clean. At 1st I thought the red one looks nice but got da black cause they din hav the red at time of purchase.Now having used the black .I think it will be easier to keep clean.I used the 3250 before n for all intent n purposes , they are the same. Only 5700 c/w with faster processor n probably an additional Audio Chip n is less bulky. As to a comment that it is a bit long , I would say its just nice fit in my hand. 5300 too short in my opinion.then again I am 6'2". Its a fast fone, and everyone who uses symbian smartfone knows how good it is to use a fast fone for a change.
Definitely a crowd pleaser. I would buy it over SE walkman fones cause I already have. Hehe.

Normal usage is definitely smooth, even with the Sandisk2GB half filled, it is still faster than my E70; Typing SMS is fast on the keypad although the keypad din look like much,much of it due its responsiveness.I din use the camera much except for outdoor shots and found it to be good but doubt that anyone would really buy this one for the camera.No Autofocus if anybody is wonderin.Its not terribly expensive as compare to SE W series fones n it does what its designed for - fun.I din even bother with the headphones and just listen thru the 2 speakers on the phone,Like I said u have some settings to play with like Loudness n Stereo widening, turn them both off n the speakers will withstand highest volume without breaking up. If u turn them on,then try not to dial up the volume too much. The volume button is rather hard to press,but no harder than the SE ones to be fair. I would buy it as a second fone if u look too professional to carry this kind of plasticky fone.
For me, I like the responsiveness, color n the fact that it was not haphazardly thrown together like the N70,N73 Xpressmusic.Eventhough its a rehash, its still new hardware.

Yeah, mine also transfered 1 picture into the newly created folder after i marked 3 for transfer.
Definitely a bug.But i would not worry too much over it lo.
Let nokia release a new firmware to fix it.
Btw , I just went to check the firmware update website on sunday n we hav the latest firmware oledi.

The screen clearity is similar to N95 if not better. If u r wondering,N80 has the best screen, E70 as well,pixel count very high. A bit dissapointed with the N95 screen to tell u the truth.That s why I will wait till price falls a bit more.

After toying with this 5700 for a few days , i find that the "Music Face" is there kind of for show. Cause on the screen the indicators are for the joystick buttons and on the face it lacks the stop button, it has a play/pause button onli,da only way u can stop the media player is to use the 5way joystick , which is above the twist. U can use the "music face" for zooming in n out while in camera mode or use the volume up down button for zooming the camera. But if u want to do a search for music n need to use the keypad to keyin titles, u will have to twist back to the "Phone Face". So can anyone tell me whats the "Music Face" for ?

Just tried it, cannot la.
The only thing I find useful of the music face is that u can twist there to get into the "Music Mode" and access the music,playlist n things without going Gallery>tracks. But when u want to search songs, twist back again to type.
The music player supports music covers as well, but malas want to go assign songs to their covers.

Just opened the box n took the adapter and plug in a pair of SE walkman earbuds. The handsfree looks nice I must say, Chrome+white.Come with a locking mechanism on the side cause u will press on the Volume+/- when holding it.Sounds alright. Then I took out the Nokia supplied earbuds to give it a go. Same song , pause, change the earbuds,play.Suprisingly it has more bass than the SE Walkman ones on the same setting.I dunno much about sounds,but if i were to go on a bus or LRT now n need to choose between the SE n Nokia earbuds for the 5700 ,i will go with the Nokia ones.
Tried the nokia ones with Stereo Widening n Loudness settings. I like Stereo Widening =On , Loudness= Off. Seems that Loudness should always be off, speakers or earphones.

The retail package one , Nokia Music Headset HS-44.
Ok , I dont have SE Walkman Phone but just have to get my K800 from the
office. I will try the nokia ones with SE. And of course SE's with SE earbuds and see if they vary much.

Yesterday a friend brought his 6233 to check out the 5700, the similarity in size and design of the 2 is uncanning , except for the twist of course.

Anyways I did a quick comparison on the SE K800 n this 5700 . Using "smack that " as the comparison song, I liked the sound of Nokia Music Headset HS-44 on both. More bass. Walkmans earbuds sound flater, like Nightstalker1993 said,to compensate for Sonys Megabass thing.The sound is fuller n clearer on the Nokia 5700 (with stereo widening on) than it is on the K800. One can argue that K800 is not a Walkman phone.

I would say Nokia Music Headset HS-44 is probably a good thing to have. Then again I might have crossed the line n SE fanboys/girls would come out full force n say I dont know what I am talking about.

Anyways, its just a phone.No need to be too upset .If u like SE n Nokia, get them both n keep one spare in your locker. I use the K800 to take pictures mainly..

Well, just found out that the Nokia bluetooth headset BH-501 is not compatable with the n70/73 music edition. So there is one thing that differentiates the 5700 and the n70/73ME. Kind of thinking of getting the set, wonder how much it will cost...

Yes. It took me 3 days to figure out that #=pencil. Its in the manual where they tell u how to write sms n things.

Just saw AP set selling for sticker price rm1168...

Added on June 7, 2007, 6:37 pm1 thing i find annoying also is that in "music menu" the playlist allows you to scroll down from A-Z only.Cannot push the joystick up to see the last item on the playlist or scroll backwards.Nokia how long make handfone ah, this thing so important also miss on a music phone no less. Other nokias like e70 can.

Depends on how ppl like to access their music I suppose. I like to scroll better than to press buttons. Besides its not too far fetch to include more than 1 way to access music, just like in Windows u can press the "x" or "alt+F4" or "File->Close" to close applications.They just havent include the one i use more often

Yeah, its like a piece of Dettol soap when they are on "extra 40%" promotion.
Always have to keypad lock it cause u will find a few botton pressed when keep in shirt pocket. Din try to keep it in the trouser/jean pocket though. Joystick wise...
u can navigate through the menus and list much like anyother phone. I think SE ones too tight. This one is OK.

Whats the trade in value like for this phone ? The shop that I bought say 700 , I nearly pengsan.
