Espoo, Finland - Today, Nokia revealed the Nokia 5700 XpressMusic, an accesible 3G smartphone tuned specifically for music. The Nokia 5700 XpressMusic features an iconic twist design that switches between four modes - music player, 2 Megapixel camera, video call and smartphone. Combining the benefits of a music-oriented, multipurpose device with 3G dataspeeds, the Nokia 5700 XpressMusic is expected to retail for an estimated EUR 350 before taxes and subsidies during the second quarter of 2007.
Like its name suggests, the Nokia 5700 XpressMusic is a music-first mobile device, augmented by a dedicated audio chip for enhanced music performance. The Nokia 5700 XpressMusic supports up to 1500 tracks on a 2 GB microSD card -- up to 86 hours worth of music. In addition the built-in stereo loudspeakers let people share their tunes with friends turning the Nokia 5700 XpressMusic into an acoustic crowd-pleaser. An optimized music player supports album art, playlists, plus a 5-band equalizer and audio visualizations.
Loading songs onto the Nokia 5700 XpressMusic is fast and easy as consumers can choose from a broad range of supported digital formats, including WMA, MP3, eAAC+ and MP4. When purchasing music online, shoppers again have the luxury of choice as they can select from a range of Internet music stores utilizing Windows Media Player Digital Rights management (WMDRM). Moreover, the Nokia 5700 XpressMusic lets consumers enjoy their tracks with Bluetooth stereo headphones, such as the BH-501 or with their own favorite headphones via 3.5mm headset jack adaptor.
3G and video are part of the package
More than simply a music-only device, the Nokia 5700 XpressMusic brings videos to life on an up to 16 million color screen that offers excellent video playback. With 3G high-speed data connectivity, the Nokia 5700 XpressMusic makes browsing, downloading and streaming multimedia content much more convenient and faster. A video calls feature and the built-in 2 Megapixel camera, make it easy to share moments with friends and family.
The Nokia 5700 XpressMusic is based on S60 software which enables users to personalize the phone with a wide variety of add-on applications, enhancements, content and services. There are thousands of useful, as well as purely fun, applications available to further extend the device functionality, ranging from dictionaries to mapping services and podcasting applications. Several programs can run simultaneously on a S60 handset enabling consumers to surf their favourite websites while listening to the music of their choice.
