Nokia today announced the Nokia 5700 XpressMusic handset. The 5700 is a 3G (WCDMA 2100) quad-band GSM phone that has the same twist design as the earlier 3250. The 5700 has a 2.0 megapixel camera, microSD card slot (supports cards up to 2GB for storing around 1,000 tracks), stereo speakers, and a 2.5mm audio jack. Its runs S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1 (Symbian 9.2).

"hmm... can't see any new feature in this one.."

Yeah... I think this is mainly intended to be a design alternative to Nseries models. Nseries usually look very grey and technical, this is far more colourful and sporty.

The one big improvement over the 3250 is the addition of 3G, which means you can use the twistable camera to make videophone calls as well as take pictures.

quadband too

With feature pack 1's ability to have big fonts, you could get this for your parents.

The functions are simple, twist for pictures, twist for music. They wouldnt have to dig deep into menus to activate those functions.

That's a good point... You'd be amazed how difficult some people can find using a phone nowadays, anything that makes it more intuitive is probably a good idea.

Nice processing power in the 5700 with a 369 Mhz ARM11 CPU.

Not every phone can be top of the range. Much like the 3250 I imagine this will sell well as it is really a mid range phone. 350 euros / 230 punds is good as a price point, especially for what you get (3g, qvga screen, 2 mp camera, etc etc).

I too, am a big fan of hardware switches. I always liked the idea of the 3250, but the thickness and small screen resolution were off putting. Much better this time round.

Having FP1 is a definite plus. The 5700 is the sort of phone I'd recommend to non techie friends who weren't after the Nseries stuff (or put off by price), but still wanted a decent phone.

Out of all the current crop of S60 phones, this and the 5500 are definitely my favourites at the moment. I couldn't give a flying fig about having a digital camera (and even less about a camcorder) built in to my phone but these little devices look perfect. Stick a decent sized memory card in and it looks just the job for an every day phone that can take a few knocks but still get the job done.

its feature are very surprising to me. it has a total 5 stars n no question abt it.i love 5700 .
