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’s big smartphone for 2009, already on pre-order??!
Talk about jumping the gun! A company called Expansys is now accepting pre-orders for this Summer’s major smartphone release from Nokia, the E75. A phone that Nokia hasn’t even started promoting yet.
According to the leaked specs, the phone seems pretty decent in terms of functionality. Like most modern phones, it’s a Quad Band phone (1900/1800/900/850) and supports Dual Band HSDPA (2100/900). It has a 2.4″ screen with a relatively adequate 240×360 resolution. It also has a handy full QWERTY keyboard that slides out on the side. There is a decent 3.2 mega-pixel camera which features auto-focus and LED flash. With the camera, users will also be able to make video recordings at a decent 30fps. Other features of the phone includes WiFi, FM radio, a 3.5mm jack for your headphones, Bluetooth 2.0, and an A-GPS module.
To see the tech specs in a list, look below:
- Frequency: 1900/1800/900/850
- Internet: 3G HSDPA, WiFi b/g
- Form Factor: Candybar/Full QWERTY Keyboard Slideout
- Memory: MicroSDHC card slot
- Connectors: 3.5mm audio jack, microUSB
- Camera: 3.2 mega-pixels, with auto-focus, LED flash, digital zoom, Hi-Res video recording, 30fps QVGA recording
- Battery: 1000 mAh
- Misc: A-GPS, Bluetooth 2.0, FM Radio, dual home screens (work/personal)
This phone is expected to release March 25, 2009. The price which hasn’t been formally determined but that Expansys is charging is about HK$4125 without a plan. As stated before, you can already pre-order this phone from Expansys if you just can’t wait. We’ll have Hong Kong local buying details as soon as Nokia Hong Kong let’s us know.
