Nokia 5320 XpressMusic
The Nokia 5320 XpressMusic is one of two new music phones released by Nokia adding to their XpressMusic range, including the Nokia 5220 XpressMusic phone but the two do differ with their features. The Nokia 5320 XpressMusic offers a bar shaped design and a slim body which is only 15mm thick. The phone is predominantly black in colour but does come with a choice of two colours, red and blue, to jazz up the navigation keys and around the edge of the handset. The 5320 comes with a large 2 inch screen consisting of 320 x 240 pixels and with up to 16 million colours making the screen colourful and bright, a real joy to the eye. Other phones that are in the XpressMusic range are the Nokia 5300 XpressMusic, Nokia 5310 XpressMusic, and the Nokia 5610 XpressMusic, all of which are targeted towards music lovers.
Nokia 5320 XpressMusic – Music Player
The built in Music Player features all the major formats such as MP3, M4A, AAC, eAAC+ and WMA music formats. There are dedicated music keys located to the side of the handset allowing the user to play/pause, forward and rewind their music with simplicity. The sound is of exceptional quality due to the dedicated audio chip. For those who enjoy the effortlessness of voice control will really enjoy the Say & Play feature for the music player allowing the user to request their music by either the title or artist. The dedicated audio chip will make for great listening sound quality that the user will really enjoy. The user can also listen to their favourite radio stations via the FM radio that comes complete with RDS (Radio Data System) for viewing information about their favourite radio station on the 5320 large bright screen. The Nokia 5320 XpressMusic also comes with True Tones, 64 voice polyphonic ring-tones complete with video-streaming. There is a pre-installed link to Nokia’s music stores allowing the user to download further music if desired. The Nokia 5320 XpressMUsic comes with 140 Mbytes of built in internal memory which can be increased to 8 Gbytes with the use of a MicroSD memory card allowing you to store up to 2000 of your favourite tracks. Nokia state, that you should be able to listen to a full 24 hours of music on a single charge as with the Nokia 5220 XpressMusic and with up to 250 hours of stand-by time.
Nokia 5320 XpressMusic – Camera
The built in 2 megapixel camera complete with digital zoom and LED flash function are adequate. The addition of a second camera with 384 x 320 of pixels will allow the user to take part in 3G video calling with other compatable users. This is a fantastic extra feature for the Nokia 5320, it is expected from most mobile phones these days. The user can also record and watch moving video footage. However this range is aimed at music lovers not budding film makers.
Other 3G technology benefits include high speed connectivity to the internet and the support for HSDPA providing high speed technologies. The dedicated N Gage gaming key allows the user to enjoy high speed gaming and the option to download more games if desired on the Nokia 5320. And of course, 3G video calling which allows the user to enjoy a face to face video calling experience with other 3G compatible users.
The phone works on a GSM network which covers GSM 850, 900, 1800, 1900 and WCDMA. The 5320 will automatically switch between the networks to find the best signal available. The Nokia 5320 comes complete with a USB cable allowing the 5320 to be connected to other compatible devices, the most common devices are usually computers and printers.
The Nokia 5320 XpressMusic comes with an OSS web browser allowing the user the enjoyment of an XHTML browsing experience with TCP IP and Windows Live is also available via download. The 5320 supports all the standard messaging services that you would expect from a mobile now days including SMS text messaging, Multimedia messaging (MMS), emailing which supports POP3, IMP4 and SMTP protocols and Xpress audio messaging which is fantastic for when the user wants to share a quick voice message with other people.
