Much as expected, Nokia did after all announce three XpressMusic phones today. The three are the Nokia 5730 XpressMusic, the Nokia 5330 XpressMusic and the Nokia 5030 XpressMusic – each one is actually better than the other, so it is going to get difficult to choose between them! Out of these, the Nokia 5030 is being branded as the XpressRadio phone.
The Nokia 5730 XpressMusic is the company’s first music-optimized device to also offer a full QWERTY keyboard, most ideal for quick messaging. The Homescreen features an improved contacts bar, N-Gage and applications, such as Photos, Ovi Contacts, messaging, Facebook, Maps and more. The Music shortcut gives users direct and quick access to the music stored on the device plus the Nokia Music Store. The dedicated gaming keys make the Nokia 5730 XpressMusic a truly N-Gage gadget.
Touch keys on the side of the Nokia 5330 XpressMusic provide the user instant access to music, with high quality sound. This device also gives the user direct access to social networking and online sharing Websites as well.
