Nokia XpressMusic Phones Officially Announced Just Now

3 new music-loving mobile phones from Nokia.

We just finished a special virtual press conference with Nokia, and although they were leaked online faster than spoilers to a Transformers movie, we are still happy to show to you these new XpressMusic phones from Nokia:

Nokia 5730 XpressMusic

The 5730 you see above and below is Nokia’s first music-optimized device to offer a full QWERTY keyboard. The homescreen provides access to music, people, games, email and calendar and provides direct access to music, N-Gage and other applications, like Facebook, Photos, Ovi Contacts, Maps, messaging and more.

It even has dedicated gaming keys to keep their N-Gage gaming concept alive and comes preloaded with N-Gage games.

The Nokia 5730 XpressMusic is expected to begin shipping in the third quarter of 2009 for an estimated retail price of a very affordable HK$2750.

Nokia 5330 XpressMusic

Next up is the Nokia 5330 XpressMusic device with its edgy, top-sliced design and illumination effects. Pretty straight forward phone here with instant access keys for music, standard 3.5mm jack and the extended battery life gives more than 26 hours of playback time. Of course, the Nokia 5330 XpressMusic provides access to sites that specialize in online sharing, including Ovi, Facebook, and MySpace.

The Nokia 5330 XpressMusic is expected to be available in the third quarter of 2009 for an estimated retail price of HK$1,580.

Nokia 5030

Nokia 5030 is the company’s first phone with an internal FM radio antenna, which eliminates the need for a headset or external speakers. The one touch FM radio and channel selection keys on the side of the device ensure the product lives up to its XpressRadio name. Placed sideways on the table, the Nokia 5030 doubles as a portable FM radio and is ideal for emerging markets, where people rely on a radio as their main source of entertainment and news. The Nokia 5030 has up to a day of listening time and 10 hours of talk time, which comes to life with the powerful loudspeaker, and is available in two colors – graphite and red.

Expected to begin shipping in the second quarter of 2009, the Nokia 5030 has an estimated retail price of less than HK$400.

We’ll keep informed on actual releases in Hong Kong as soon as we hear from Nokia direct.
