This is a review of the Nokia 5610 XpressMusic... I donno any format, so I will just comment on it k?

Usability
Absolutely useful for messaging, calls and music listening. The slider button if slid to the left will send u to the music menu, slide it to the right, u will be at the radio. To me it is a most important function in this handphone. After all, if it is not important, why should I have bought a XM?
Camera is accessible through the shortcut button on the right side. Very simple interface. Common settings such as video/photo quality, video/photo resolution, flash, white balance. All is simple to access.

Camera
3.2MP with Flash and auto focus. Pictures in bright conditions, clear enough to compare with normal camera. A normal person should not see the difference between the two pictures. In dim conditions, not so great but noise is ok.

Music player/radio
Well, it is after all an XM phone. Very good and get equaliser settings, stereo widening, and even change themes. Radio I can't get to listen. I live in rural Sg.Siput (U). When I went to KL, it was crystal clear.

Normal usage (SMS, calls)
Easy to see font. Clear font. Calls are clear. Battery will last about 2-3 days if u send about 50 messages a day, with no calls and a lot of music listening.

Conclusion
Worth it. At the price of RM1080( I bought last year ) it is well worth the price.

Known issues
1. Will restart after about an hour of listening music.
-->SOLUTION: Tell me.
2.My LCD failed after 11 months.
-->SOLUTION: Replace the LCD. Duhh...
3. If u move the back cover (battery cover) around, it can move. And then u will notice that the Music Player is updating the library again.
-->SOLUTION: Stuff a few pieces of paper in to the left top n middle hole. One hole is beside the MicroSD slot and 1 more is beside the battery. Good
luck. Put a small snippet of paper on the copper pin u see next to the MicroSD n SIM slot. Then close. It worked for me.
4. Music menu slider cracking.
--->SOLUTION: Don't look at it and u won't notice.
