Surat Mein Kya Rakha Hai....

Nokia Last year stroked with the new 5610 Xpress Music handset which did grab lots of headlines for its priority to music and exceptional look. And I agree that Nokia 5610 is eye-catching and has gorgeous looks, but when a cellphone is introduced on the basis of music then 5610 doesn’t stand on whats been said abut it by the company.


Let me first list the technical and key features which I liked.


Media-Centric design with 2.2" scratch resistant window.


Iconic Music Slider


Video recording


3.2 Megapixel camera(16 million colour display) with autofocus and dual LED flash. Thickness(17mm) & Weight 111 grams.


Music supporting files of Mp3, MP4, AAC, AAC+, eAAc, AMR-NB & WMA formats.


Music Manager


Email supports SMTP, POP3, IMAP4, APOP protocols.


Supports for attachment JEPG, 3GP, MP3, PPT, .doc, Excel and PDF files.


Aluminum side Panelings.


Features I didn’t liked


Voice Quality


Headset HS-45 with Ad56


Only 20mb inbuilt memory


Wap* 2.0 x HTML browser


Hands free Speakers


Battery BP-5M


Music playback upto 22hrs.


These are not the only things which makes this set a thumb down but many more cons:


It hangs in every two days and it switches off automatically. It supports 4 Gb but hangs when inserted 2 GB or 4 Gb memory card. You have just killed Nokia 5610 if  had fallen unlike some other Nokia sets where falling of the cellphone won’t affect anything.


I firmly believe that some features added to this phone could make it a better mobile phone: For example they would have provided at least 1Gb card instead of 512mb card. earphones could have been more better and volume button is must for earphones for convenience.It has 3.2 megapixel camera but only 8X zoom, they should have provide at least 16x zooming. Audio quality and hands free speaker could have been better. Inbuilt memory should have been at least 40 mb or more.


Many features of this mobile are just not up to the mark or standard.  Like battery life is so short, talk time which is said to be upto 6hrs, but it hardly lasts for an hour. Music playback is up to 22hrs, but instead it backups only four to six hours.


I will definitely not recommend this mobile to anyone who is looking for a mobile with long lasting battery and a good operating system. The software of 5610 Xpress Music is too weak.  Also Games in this piece are older one. But there are some highlight of this phone which includes Yahoo Go  app to check mails and more, Opera Mini browser, Download!, installer and search app.


My ratings for this device:


Looks - 3.5/5


Music - 2/5


Battery - 1/5


Camera & Video - 3/5


Overall - 2.5/5


This handset has only good looks to offer plus some music functionality but overall its its a big disappointment. So once again, I won’t suggest to go for this mobile as it only has SURAT no SIRAT, instead of 5610 Xpress Music you would want to have a look at other Nokia device such as N73, E71 and Nokia 6233.


I will love to hear from the readers and users of this phone about this review and the product and thank all the readers for their ratings and comments.
