5130 XpressMusic

Unlike the popular Nokia 5800 XpressMusic phone which boasts a large 3.2" touchscreen, the Nokia 5130 XpressMusic is a relatively old-style quad-band GSM phone that comes with some decent multimedia features. Like its predecessors, the 5320 and 5220 XpressMusic phones, the Nokia 5130 XpressMusic will be available in black with a choice of either red or blue accents. With dedicated music keys, a 3.5mm audio jack, Bluetooth and a 2 megapixel camera, the 5130 XpressMusic is Nokia's most affordable music phone to date.

A funky candybar phone, the 5120 weighs a feather-light 88g, but is a little on the thick side with a depth of 14.8mm. As we've mentioned, the QVGA screen is pretty small at just 2", has a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels, and can display up to 256,000 colours. You can personalise your display by downloading a variety of themes from the Nokia website.

The integrated 2 megapixel snapper looks fairly basic – fixed focus and no flash. 4x digital zoom is a nice touch, but more of a gimmick than useful considering the camera's already low resolution and lack of flash. The Nokia 5130 XpressMusic also supports image sharing through Share on Ovi, as well as the Mail on Ovi email service, meaning you can upload your photos and exchange them with friends. Of course, good old-fashioned MMS is also an option.

The most impressive feature on the 5130 XpressMusic is the music player – no surprises here. Supporting all the main audio file formats - MP3, AAC, eAAC, eAAC+, MIDI and WMA files – the 5130 also comes with a 1GB memory card which can store around 20 hours of music. As if this weren't enough, you can increase the memory further up to 8GB by investing in a larger capacity microSD card.
Thankfully Nokia have decided to include a 3.5mm headphone jack which is compatible with a standard headset, and there is also support for stereo Bluetooth, enabling you to listen to your music through a wireless set of headphones.

The phonebook has capacity for 2000 entries, to which you can add photos of your contacts. Other useful features include a calendar, to-do list and calculator. Demo games are included on the phone, with full games available for download.

A quad-band GSM phone, the 5130 runs the WAP 2.0/xHTML browser, offering fast internet access via GPRS and EDGE. There is support for file transfer to other compatible devices via Bluetooth and USB.

Please note that, since the Nokia 5130 XpressMusic has not yet been released, details in this overview are subject to change.
