The Nokia 5310 XpressMusic is a compact & versatile music phone which the user will be proud to own. The handset is incredibly stylish which comes in a mainly black coloured casing complete with coloured sections which makes this phone look very fashionable. The 5310 XpressMusic comes with a choice of either bright red or bright blue coloured sections which highlights the phones large screen & dedicated music keys. The screen is 2 inches in size & has a high resolution & high colour display for the user to enjoy a full colour experience on their screen. The handset is compact & thin which measures 9.9mm in depth, 44.7mm in width & 103.8mm in length. The phone is lightweight therefore easy for the user to carry with them at all times which weighs 71 grams including the battery. The 5310 XpressMusic is a member of the XpressMusic family which includes other music orientated stylish handsets including the Nokia 5300 XpressMusic & Nokia 5700 XpressMusic.

Nokia 5310 made thousands of fans with its very announcement. Packing a 16M color QVGA display, dedicated music keys, stereo Bluetooth and FM radio in a sleek thin body, this neat handset is sure to appeal to quite a lot of slim phone admirers. Plus, the XpressMusic logo is a good enough premise for music phone fans to be on the watch-out too. With the first XpressMusic bar-shape we have an amazingly thin and lightweight handset with serious sonic power.

Nokia 6700 classic Gold Edition

December 10th, 2009 No Comments   Posted in Nokia

Nokia 6700 GoldThe Nokia 6700 classic is a very classy device and we loved it. What makes the Nokia 6700 classic Gold Edition different from the well-loved Nokia 6700 classic. And no, it isn’t the included natural leather carrying case and strap or the 8GB microSD card. Still guessing? This one is gold. If bling is your thing then you’ll be all over it. The 6700 is an utterly classic device

Okay, so it isn’t just about the 18-carat gold finish. The Nokia 6700 classic Gold Edition also has some custom wallpapers to complete the gold look, alongside that carry case and monster memory card. My favourite though is the white inlays on the front and back, which offset neatly against the gold. The Nokia 6700 classic Gold Edition is a well specced device, boasting a five-megapixel camera wrapped inside that glorious metal shell and of course GPS and Nokia Maps to help you find your way to the next jewelery store.

The Gold Edition is expected to go on sale in selected markets in the first quarter of 2010 with an estimated price of USD 370 before taxes and subsidies
