To include Nokia 5320 XpressMusic to this class is possible thanks to Symbian OS with S60 user interface instead of the standard S40. Nevertheless, not only employed entrepreneurs can buy Nokia 5320 XpressMusic, but also young people, because the device is the next replenishment of the famous line of music phones of the Finnish company. Judging by the index in the title, we can assume that Nokia 5320 XpressMusic is heir of the Nokia 5310 XM. However, the models differ markedly in appearance and functionality. Despite the advanced stuffing, Nokia 5320, is positioned by the company as a phone for mid-market with all the consequences. First, the price of Nokia 5320 XpressMusic is quite acceptable for people with not very large income. Secondly, the emphasis in the new model is made not only on the functions of media player, but on the playing potential. Nokia 5320 XpressMusic uses a sound chip, which is characteristic for all phones running on S60. But a large number of peripheral buttons make managing functions of Nokia 5320 XpressMusic very convenient.

4145_nokia_5320_xpressmusic_2

With all this the design of Nokia 5320 is quite ascetic. This is not a loudly-glamorous fashionable phone, which you can take out of your pocket with the slightest desire to stand out from the crowd. On the contrary, thanks to the efforts of the designers, Nokia 5320 XpressMusic is outwardly restrained, if not severe. The only bright element of design is the colored plastic band, visible on the sides of the shell. The case is very durable and resistant to minor scratches. XpressMusic button is located over the 2-inch screen of Nokia 5320 with a resolution of 240×320. For those who like making videos, there is a camera on the front side of the shell (also located above the display). The main camera of Nokia 5320 XpressMusic is located on the back side and is equipped with a flash. It is easy to guess, that the quality of images taken with Nokia 5320 XpressMusic, differ from those made by a conventional camera. Nevertheless, it is enough for the street shooting, when you do not have a digital “Soap” or “SLR”.

Nokia 5320 has 128 MB of RAM, 96 of which are available to the user when working of the main system. That number is sufficient for the simultaneous launch of 10 applications. Resources allow, without any problems, to surf and download enough “heavy” pages. The screen size of Nokia 5320 XpressMusic is noticeably smaller than of other smartphones of the company, so navigation on extensive sites can make some difficulties. Nokia 5320 XpressMusic is powered by lithium-ion battery that provides up to 250 hours of standby time and up to 3.5 hours of continuous talk. Summarizing we can say that whatever your preferences in mobile phones are, Nokia 5320 XpressMusic can be a very good acquisition.

Following Nokia 5800 XpressMusic comes a miniature Nokia 5530, which is also musical and is also made for young audience. Everyone who wants something modern and singing should definitely pay attention to it.
Nokia 5530 XpressMusic is the younger sister of Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, and even the size is more modest. This was incidentally appreciated by all those who saw two music boxes, noting the nice size of 5530. The exterior of the device itself (colors, design) is liked more than the brutal design of 5800. This is because of the white back cover and sides, and the metal frame bezel.
5388821_nokia_5530_xpressmusic_2

At the top end there is an on / off switch key, as in 5800, but all the connectors are moved to the bottom. To me it is more convenient when they were on top, only because the wire does not have to bend around the headphone when the device is in the pocket.

5388821_nokia_5530_xpressmusic_3

The cap, which hides SIM-card connectors and memory card is made extremely neatly and elegantly. The camera buttons, the slider lock of the screen and volume control wheel are located on the right end.
Plastic stylus is made in the case color – white. The back side removable cover has such a small thickness, which even bends. It reminds of Sony Ericsson W890.
In general, the device looks stylish, fresh, and many people, including me, like it.
