Nokia 5610 XpressMusic Review
Performance:
We are somewhat disappointed because of the light lag felt when operating the phone. Even though some of you may not notice it, it was annoying for us that the phone was slower than Nokia 6120, which although a smartphone, is not supposed to be faster than 5610.
Unfortunately, the sound quality during a conversation is not very good either. Your voice is heard muted and sharp and the collocutor will have trouble hearing you. You will also hear his/her voice similarly with the sound loud enough, but with a constant background noise.
According to the official data supplied by the manufacturer, the 900 mAh battery has to provide 6 hours of talking, 320 hours in standby mode and 22 long hours of playing music. In reality, 5610 gave up after about 8 hours of listening to music and simultaneously playing City Bloxx.
Conclusion:
If you are looking for an affordable music slider with youthful, sporty appearance, Nokia 5610 will offer you not only that, but also a player with an intuitive interface, quality sound and FM radio, to listen to, once you get bored with the rest of the tunes. It is not surprising that the phone has a few drawbacks such as bad Internet browser, mediocre camera and a sound during conversations, slightly above the average. If you think you’ll not be able to live with those, then maybe, Sony Ericsson W910 is what you should consider as a possible solution.
