Nokia 5700 XpressMusic

24 Jul, 2007, 5:30 pm IST | Shayne Rana | Smartphones

My one major complaint about the menus however, is that unlike other S60 phones the main folders like Games and Connectivity the Download application are not placed correctly or out in the main menu where you’d usually find them. Nor can you change that. It’s not difficult to work around, but why have it like that to begin with.

The battery life of this phone is great with a talk time of at least 3 hours and 50 minutes on a single charge. For music it’s even better. I clocked it in at just around 9 hours and 35 minutes of non-stop music. So no problem here. There was also no problem I could find when it came to reception or voice clarity of the 5700.

The Bottom Line
I LIKE THIS PHONE! Sure it may have its kinks but there’s a certain Feel Good factor when you have it in your hand that’s quite unmistakable. All it’s functions and features work just fine and smooth as ever. The battery life is great, and on the whole pretty much caters to all your multimedia requirements and manages to meet them head-on with ease. For a Price of Rs. 12,250 it’s well worth it. This is going to be my next phone.
