The Nokia 5610 XpressMusic will also be a handset for the music lovers as its name suggests, but unlike the Nokia 5310 it will come in the bar form factor. It will also be based on the Nokia S40 platform and we are expecting at least the same specs as the ones of the Nokia 5310.

3.5mm jack
microSD up to 4GB


EST Price : NTD 10,500
Availability : 4th Q 2007

Seems like there's only change in color , not design.

Nokia suddenly come out with a series of express music phone...

Nokia keep coming out same design again.. and this design doesn't suit candybar type at all.

Can't blame them for their "seems-to-be-alike-as-SE" market strategy though

commentless.... but the Black and BLue / Black and Red colouring kinda attracts my heart a bit though at least no other phones really have that type of colouring matchup yet

aint bad actually. =)

wah the design really not suit a candybar phone
but if Nokia say this is the candybar of 52/5300 why din't they released it on the same time or juz a bit after 52/5300 had been released

wait.. this slim phone with 3.5mm jack..??

hmm.same specs as the 5610?looks slim.not bad.

Not really the same.. This model lacks of EDGE and 3g while 5610 has it. 5610 is 3.2mp AF while 5310 is 2mp only.

ah.my bad. looks like some kinda entry level music phone i guess?

The glorious days of Nokia 6300 being the slimmest Nokia phone are gone. Nokia 5310 boasts a thickness of only 9.9 mm compared to Nokia 6300's 11.7mm. Not to mention, the price looks attractive. I'm sure this phone will sell well.

Just the music thinggy same la.. other specs have to change no matter what then got people buy.

walao eh,very ugly lor



candy bar ?aiyo,that music button very ugly

keypad looks alike 5300.

its like 5300 candy bar version. ha,,,,,

Nothing really special detected.. Maybe Nokia wanna slim flight Music phone with SE w880?

i think w880i still better than this model.

very up to date wor boss~

IMO, it look like Moto L7, long enough, but mix with SE W850i keypad...

Looks like a music version of 7500 and 6500 Classic with much more functional with microSD slot versus useless 1 GB internal memory IMO

this ph0ne lo0ks nice n slim but the pr0blem is it d0es n0t haf 3G quite disapp0inted...

so when will this model launch and price point ?

should be around RM 1000-1100. the problem is WHEN is it to be released?

Not bad mar.. At least it is thin and not heavy.

This phone looks very long....

Anyway, 3.5mm jack & microSD up to 4GB support will be a plus for music lovers....
Hope the music quality is above average...

I would get this phone instantly, if not for the poor camera on the back, no flash, no AF. In everything else like music, 5310 XM is a fantastic phone though.

ive already seen the unit yesterday
nice built, very slim and solid. price - 1199 !!! TOO high IMHO

One word, awful! Really.

Why?

At least this thread is alive again!!! Only 2 pages at the moment??? We need more 5310 fans !!

any actual 5310 users? please report in !

actually i really like this phone, but dunno, as like SE's previous SLIM phone the w880i, I heard tat making it slim means that the sound quality is baddddddddddddddd

So really hope some1 can post their review here. Thanks

shane dude, this new nokia claims to have a dedicated audio chip (the one and only brand to do this!) to improve audio quality for music.

Positives:
Slim & Light
Music Buttons
3.5mm headphone jack
can take up to 4gb microSD card

Bad:
Slim phone not good for SMS messaging
It's only really nice if you use it as basic ipod & basic phone
Bad Camera
Battery life not great because slim

conclusion:
if you really want mp3 + phone get this but... you won't have that great battery life & the speaker isn't that great

You better off buying Nokia 6233 + Ipod

Or just get the 5610, which is cheap and better than a 6233 + ipod

aha, ya, but there are so many audio chips? and like previous 5700 oso claims to have an audio chip. So, really need more detailed review.

Thanks

love this phone so much after played with it today...
the slimness...
then built quality..
the 3 cool buttons on the side..

if only the UI is as fancy as Walkman phones...this could be the perfect music phone..

not only the 5700 ,even the n-91 has it

just bought this phone last weekend, and well, i'd say its a matter of co-incidence because initially i was aiming for 5300, but that time at that shop the 5300 was out of stock, so they started to recommend other models and i saw this phone.....wow, so slim, and i did like the design a lot, and so, i decided to buy this instead of the kinda bulky 5300....

many had asked why not i add some more money and buy more "canggih" phone...but i'd say, my budget cant really get any more than RM1100, and what i need now is only a phone with

1. MP3 player
2. easy-to-type SMS
3. moderate camera
4. no 3g

well, actually the most important thingy is, i like the design....lol

this phone aint bad, nice design, but i think they said that the batteries are horrible?

yea....its "slim-ness" means that the battery life will not be that long....the longest i used it without charging was about 3 days

oh need to clarify, the speaker has low volume isit? they said that they cant hear the phone ring when they put in their pockets.

i didnt encounter any problem so far about not hearng phone ring when i put it inside my pocket....maybe they put it in silent mode or their pocket is simply too thick...

thanks ^^ they said that they cant hear the ringing when their are watching tv or out at the streets. this phone looks good, screw cameras in phones =D 3.5mm jack is awesome,

so the phone has an average ringing volume? isit the same as other nokia models like 6280? (dont compare with 6233 or n72 with stereo.)

erm...volume will depends on the surrounding, but when you are on headphones, my my its so loud....

I'm refering to when it rings ^^ w/o headset on =D

oh...as i've said, it depends on the surrounding, but overall its not too loud compare to other stereo speaker phone, and sometimes you might miss the ring when you are walking ....but i counter it with my ultra long ringing tone though...lol....so far so good for me

Why you say that the battery is horrible??

Added on November 21, 2007, 6:33 pmIs the phone's volume good enough compare to SE walkman phone? Etc the bass?

This post has been edited by Missy_Lancer: Nov 21 2007, 06:33 PM

ah.... the volume is low then T.T why cant nokia fix it =.=

erm....its not horrible, just that the battery life is a bit short (2-3 days max)....

Added on November 22, 2007, 2:10 pmyep...but the sound quality had improved from 5300 no doubt...

This post has been edited by dlct87: Nov 22 2007, 02:10 PM

but some ppl said that the volume is not low at all, its loud T.T so what is the actual fact?

like i say, depends on the surrounding....if you are in a mamak store or waliking then it will become small, but other than that its ok....what i said is the volume is low compare to those "stereo" equipped phone...

so its actually ok? got any phones u used b4 to compare with? normal phones, not stereo like 6233.

the phone i used before buying this model was 1600.....so if you only compare the volume, its almost the same.

but i tried the phone speaker volume at the hypermarket near by. I on the music player via speaker, and, I cant hear anything much =.= imagine if its in my pocket T.T nice design but the volume is a let down. pure let down.

does this hanphone has wifi and support 3g?
RM???

nice budget phone

dropping fast, offered rm860 yesterday. no 3g.

Added on November 30, 2007, 6:16 pmjust wanna ask does anyone suffer with restart?

This post has been edited by onelove89: Nov 30 2007, 06:16 PM

got myself and my gf this phone last weekend.

would say that i'm pretty satisfied with it overall, and yeah, the sound quality is slightly below expectations. especially the msg tones and alarms. without 3g too, but it's not one of my criteria so doesn't bother me much.

other than that, i think it's a great phone. slim, sleek, elegant. plus, i'm a nokia regular, so the sms style suits me well compared to other brands. tried using sony ericsson for a few months and boy, struggled horribly with text messaging i'd rather make the call, hahaha...

i thought battery life has always been a prob with nokia phones? i dunno, just from my experience from using so many nokia phones all these years, i kinda expected that already, since i'm used to charging it every night...

The ringtone is still ascending although you set ringing?
Then i afraid the chance to get a missed call is very high....Haiz...
I plan to buy this phone la...But the speaker scare me away..
Currently am using Nokia 6300, only have 1 speaker only, so if compared to 5310, which is louder?
5310 have 3 speakers la.

hi guys. i got dis phone for my brother last week. 1st impression, a nice phone with a good price. i even think of getting myself 1..hahah

the only problem so far encountered is the object movement when using camera. seems like it's lagging, very much lagging. anybody had this problem?

did you set your phone's camera capture quality to high? coz its default setting is only normal, co it will be damn lag....although in high will lag too, but its far less significant already

How much did you get it for?

oooo...i din check what's d setting for the capture quality. will ask my brother to check it later. thanks fren

i got it for less than rm800, rm795 to be exact

is there any restarts?

I assume AP, is it? Or do you have some connections with the one who sells it to you?

This post has been edited by tunertoobe: Dec 12 2007, 11:40 AM

yup, it's AP. and no, i do not have any connections with the one who sell it. if i had the connection, sure every few months will change phone

So cheap ah AP. Original shouldn't cost more than 1100.

ap going to 7xx? my area still sells 879 O.o that is just too high. well i'm laying my eyes on this phone. seems good. I've tried a few tiems the volume, its quite soft, but some songs are loud >.< dunno why.

maybe firmware problem?
everywhere is discussing about the low volume this phone hav...
if it's volume is better, it will have a lot of user...

is this thread dead? >.<

anyway, any users experience restarts? or any bugs?

restarts in what sense? like how?

the problem i have with this phone is during a phone call people cant really hear what i say sometimes, even when im calling from home. im pretty sure it has nothing to do with the line signal, because with my last phone i never have this kinda problem.

and sometimes, i cant get to make a phone call. it says, error in connection. i have to restart my phone in order to make the phone call possible.

gosh sometimes it annoys me.

This post has been edited by chuckenscream: Dec 22 2007, 10:59 PM

UP date firmware lo!

u using maxis rite, its not the phone problem, its the line.
my brother and some of my friends also got same problem.
error in conection. after restart,came a lot of sms,misscall.
btw,phone in use all nokia. 3250,6288,6680.

anyone using this phone? isit actually good? if not i'm going over to 6120c.

how to install chinese input in 5310?
i can see chinese words but no chinese input.

seriously, can anyone tell me is this good o not ><

simply, if you want a good music phone, this is IT. its slim, has a dedicated music chip and the screen is great. only downside is the camera, which is really not that good ( no flash, autofocus) . so you are pretty much buying a music phone and nothing more.

does anyone know where can i find antivirus for this phone (if there are any) because my cousin ask me to find for her but i dont know where to find or how to find it since im not nokia user. Can please someone help point me a link if there are any antivirus for this phone. Thanks.

i'm using this phone for a month.latest ap price i check is RM765. I bought RM650 (got connection ). its a great budget phone. since i dont care much about about 3g, camera, i just love this phone plus the slimness. the audio sound quality is nice ,with 3.5mm jack and 18hours of music playback, its really worth it.
the ring volume is maybe a bit low compared to some phone.but if u not deaf i think its just ok. so far no restart problem.

This is what i feel about Nokia 5310.
I am using Nokia 5310 since Dec 07.
Yes, the battery life is very good.
I think should be doubled the one for Nokia 6300.
Charge my phone every 3-4 days.
But the camera and speaker alone cause lot of problem.

1)The camera is NOT 2.0MP actually based on some testing on overseas website.
It's just a fake, only 1.3MP actually but Nokia faked it as 2.0MP by editing everything, who knows it's a fake until the website tested it?

2) The speaker volume is really low. Can't even loud enough to let everyone heard that song in a bedroom. But the quality is nice since it is double speaker. But who cares about this? It fails once its volume is low.

3) Earphones quality is nice as claimed by Nokia. They say they put some kind of music chip in that phone. I feel that it's quite satisfying at first. But until i compare it's Bass mode quality with Sony Ericsson W550i's Mega Bass mode with a same song and same earphones (HS-45). Nokia 5310's quality becomes a crap of shit in the test. It don't even have a surrounding effect like W550i's Mega Bass mode does.

So what's good about this Nokia 5310?
And it restart frequently too while you listening to music. What XpressMusic is it?
And did you notice that the "Play/Pause" button won't function while you sending file?
So means you can't Pause the song you are Playing or Play the song.

The most funny bugs created by Nokia nowadays is as below, it occurs at almost every newer S40 platform.
You can't adjust the (am/pm) of alarm time/organiser time/time when you is in 12 hours mode. Have a try.

The only thing i like about it is it's slim and quite cool while showing it to others.
Like Chinese say: "金玉其外，败絮其中"

Added on February 6, 2008, 5:28 pmWell. Nokia plan to be honest at first.
This is the official advertisement.
Look at 00:25.

i think the am/pm change is in the 'option'.. yes.confirmed.

about the camera ,can u provide the link that tested it??

i bet u didnt watch the utube post above

nope , becoz my uni server block that youtube.

Till now still don't have fix a?
Sucks la...
Just check, even Nokia 6300 have this problem too...
So confirmed 5310 and 6300 have this problem.
Everytime need to adjust the alarm, need to change to 24 hours mode.
Because i used to am/pm mode.

This post has been edited by sjz: Feb 14 2008, 03:34 PM

Go to 'date and time settings', scroll down to highlight the time settings and select option.
You will see the am/pm selection on the panel..

The physical design of this phone really attracts me. But it's S40... I want S60... S60 don't have this kind of slim phones... sigh...

slimmest s60 i think 6120c... gud enuf d

refering to the pic with red circle,
anyone can tell me wat is this?
TQ.

I think is camera light sensor

mmm.... i dun think soo...
the camera is located at the back..

My 5610 phone camera light sensor is located beside the secondary camera, so i think is the same..

btw, after googling for answer n i found that it is actually a light sensor for auto dimming feature.
i already tested this feature. its coool...
but this model cannot adjust the brightness manually.

anyway, thx for ur reply.

Is it really bad? with all the restart problem, low volume speker?
i just plan to buy this.

OMG OMG you guys should just update its firmware version to v5.81 !

One of the most significant changes is the loudspeaker's volume has been increased much! Hmm.. just to convince you guys, compare the volume to SE's w850i now! The equaliser is working very effective too!

As for the restarting problem, i haven't encounter any of these since i bought my phone, but there are people outside saying this problem has also been overcome.

It's a good solid mobile for me now, despite the few glitches at first
Yet the camera is still laggy, but that is not a problem for me la, seldom take pictures with phone-cam also
