Ive always been dissapointed by the quality of sounds offered by numerous high-end phones. but the evolution of xpress music range by nokia has proved it wrong. coming from a background of a musician id recommend it to anyone with serious intrests in sound quality (this esp works when u on the stereo widening and set the equalizer on headset mode). for the price, its really worth buying. the design, in my opinion is the coolest nokia has come upto for the new gen. about the camera its not the best of quality with just 1.3mega pixels but if youre into listening pleasure this shouldnt bother. for me, the camera is just a tool to snap a pic in emergency. if u really want good picture quality should go for the latest CARL ZEISS VARIO lens models offered by nokia, which is of course beyond my budget.
But if youre willing to pay a bit more and get the best xpress music around id recommend 5700, the sounds are as satisfying and u get two more key features, a really good 2mp camera and 3G, plus a cool lower- body 5 way moves;) so id say the bottom line, for a music freak and someone in thrist of good sound projection for a good price, its the best you can get! trust me, u can never be bored of it! =D*
