T-Mobile releases Nokia Xpress Music 5610
This one hasn’t exactly been a secret, but for anyone that’s been looking to grab one of these sliders today is your day. The Nokia Xpress Music 5610 is now available from all of T-Mobile’s physical and online retail channels. The handset sports a 3.2 megapixel camera, dedicated music player rocker key, included 2GB memory card, and shiny aluminum side panels. It’s certainly not the most advanced handset on the market, but for $99 this represents one of the better values in T-Mobile’s current lineup. Although the handset ships with a 3.5 mm headphone adapter, the actual jack on the handset is Nokia’s proprietary pop-port a 2.5 mm connector. Not surprising for a phone at this price point, but still not such a good thing for such a music-focused handset. If that’s not a deal breaker for you, however, head on down to your local T-Mobile store and swoop up one of these bad boys.
It’s not using a pop-port, it’s using a totally standard Nokia charger port, micro-USB port and 2.5 mm stereo headset jack!
It’s unfortunate, put it’s pretty easy to find a 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm stereo headset adapter…
not bad for a basic heandset 3.5 camer MEH but it’s a budget handst
^ That village is still looking for you, idiot.
Well, I think it’s a good start for T-Mobile.
They do need the blue color for the 5610, though [and also the 5310].
It is a good value, though.
And T-Mobile finally has a phone with a 3.2mp camera.
I was playing with this guy in my store the other day. Its actually very impressive for what it is. It feels so much higher quality than recent Nokia’s with TMo. I just wish they didn’t lock out Java apps (or dream of dreams it were an S60!), but I guess that’s why you can just buy it straight from Nokia. Still, solid phone, nice interface. It’s going to sell well.
Oh, and hey look!! Joshua isn’t ragging on everything T-Mo for once! It still doesn’t qualify as an actual endorsement, but beggars can’t be choosers.
I like how a phone with a 3.2 megapixel camera is considered a, “budget device.”
^^^ for a nokia this is pretty mid-range. for t-mobile its pretty high-end… even though most people know its mid-range
