Is this phone out in Malaysia yet? It says 'coming soon' on Nokia Asia website. And its little brother 5310 is labeled as 'New'. Yet no sight of either in the land where people change phone once a week hmm.gif ?

Not 1 Nokia can even Match the Quality of SE Walkman's Walkmans have been around since 1973 !

this phone is Nice but not the best .......

if anyone can answer this question .

Does 5610 come with *In-Ear-Headphones* ?
*
No it doesn't but who cares? I got a decent pair of Creative in-ear headphones at last PC Fair for only RM50.

At RM 1300, the 5610XM goes against the RM1200 SE W580. 5610's advantages are:
Cheaper memory format (micro SD)
Longer music battery life
Larger LCD
Music sliding key
3 MP AF camera with flash (big advantage)
3G and front camera

BTW, the 5610 and N81 are out in Malaysia!!! (Well, hopefully this info is accurate la)

Very ironic that 5610 was announced later but available earlier in Malaysia versus 6500 Slide when these two fellows are actually almost the same phone!!

I'm planning to get one too... depending on which is cheaper by next month - 6500 slide or 5610... since both are essentially the same phone. my current preference is towards 6500 for smaller size

whats the street price for these two babies now?

I think the Nokia 5610 should be around RM1300 and 5310 for RM1000.... This is my estimate only based on 6500 Slide euro -> RM conversion because I havent seen the phones yet.

2. the sound is better than my previous n70 and my current using dopod 838pro, is this a music phone? is yes i don't bother about it, i bought it because of the design.
3. the camera is better than my previous n70 and currently using dopod 838pro. no specific comments with the camera cause it works like the way i expected.
the pictures is the same as posted, the slide scroll bar is use to scroll thru menu such as gallery, music and bla bla bla instead of using arrow keys. it is light, it is solid, feels great, and i hate the memory slot!

This IS a music phone la. Its name is 5610 XpressMusic laugh.gif
Why do you hate the memory slot?

you will understand why i hate it when you bought it............hehehehehehehe

Why exactly? Could be for many reasons:
1. Memory card slot is at the back and need to open back cover
2. Memory card above 4GB not supported
3. Memory card is too small and you have large fingers/misplace things
4. Other??

Which one is your reason icon_rolleyes.gif ?

yeah la i hate the most is i need to open the back cover.....none of my ever owned phone need to open up the back cover to switch card...dammit...i only realized it after bought it....
*
I see...I knew about this there was no dedicated memory card cover on the phone so it had to be inside. At least it is hot-swappable so don't need to remove battery (unlike 7500 Prism).

At first I was turned off by the back cover thing as well but then I came to think about it as a good thing - less worry that my friends will "terambil" aka snipe my memory card (my data very very important you know icon_idea.gif laugh.gif ) when they pinjam my phone. Well, at least got double protection

1. Opening the back cover is not very direct - must press button at the top first
2. I will see that obvious move of removing the back cover... hahaha

I was at queensbay mall (penang) yesterday and only 1 shop had both 5310 (1199) and 5610 (1399) -
Both models are really SLIM and light, i really love them but didnt buy because no promo! i feel the 5310 price is a bit on the high side when compared to SE W880 as both have almost same specs but SE has 3G.

This is an unfair comparison IMO, 5310 is a brand new just-release model, W880 is an old model and is going to be replaced by the W890 (Got read rumours ah? brows.gif ). Compare W880's release price to 5310 is more balanced

Yes only 5610 has 3G, 5310 has NO 3G

Both are nice music phones though.

Actually that kinda sucks considering 5610 is more expensive than 5310.

ok, after days of playing with this cellphone which i bought last week, i gotta say this phone ain't gonna last long.

Design Impression
from a distant, it looks good, for a while observation, it looks good, after spend saturday and sunday with it, it's an ugly fugly phone. overall, if have a glance on this phone, it's a beautifull phone.

Accessories.
i went to a few shop looking for pouches for this phone, 4 shops i wwent to, never heard of 5610 till i show them my phone...they are impress with nokia new design. Somehow, after searching thru, no pouches is fit for thise phone, those pouches is either too thick or too long. i ended up with a samsung pouches....arrgghhh!!!!

The Slide.
i am not impress at all cause i know after using this phone for 6 months, the slide will be loose. This is based on my experience with nokia first slide phone 6111. just less than a week, my slide is loose

Buttons.
the volume button is not responsive, i have to press it with my finger till the button bend in to get response. This is due to the flat design method for the phone, look nice but ain't pratical. the camera button felt horrible, it is so bumping and not solid at all, to autofocus it and to take a shot is very much incosistent due to pressing the button is too rubber feel. The slide button wear and tear test is not good too, i know somehow the slide button ain't gonna last long. just less than a week, my slide button is a bit loose.

The LCD screen.
It is ok, no comment, nothing so impressive about it. it is clear, crisp and there is nothing to scream about it.

The Lights.
Now this is the weirdest part. if the slide remain in the default position. no lights will appear for the arrow keys and soft keys. the light will only appear if i slide up the screen. damn weird!!!

The Sound.
whatever they claimed about the dedicated chip, it is pure BS, my dopod 838Pro produce better sound effect. The pitch is too high causing cracking effect on the speaker, the music clearity is not up to my expectation, my 3 years old SE K-600 produce better music compare  to this 5610 model.

and one last thing i need to mention is the open up the back cover to change the memory card is so pathetic, it is just not smooth to remove the cover and that cheap design is just so dissapointing.

Conclusion: It is a very beautifull phone, but the price 1360 bucks ain't worth it. my mate Samsung U600 outperform this phone interm of build quality, sound, screen clearity and sliding wear and tear tolerance is much more better than 5610.

end say.
