Nokia 5130 XpressMusic the latest affordable music phone from Nokia.

Since we have had loads of requests from users about this launch we decided to bring you an Exclusive  XpressMusic Review with loads of pictures of the phone and also a couple of video clips which demo the music capabilities of the phone.

Nokia 5130 XpressMusic Design and Physical Aspects

The phone is bar form factor with rounded corners and a curved back panel with a smooth finish.

The speaker sits in the bottom of the back panel.

The camera is present in the top rear and

The keypad supports multilingual input

notice the Tamil Characters on the keypad.

Display

Its clear and readable and gels with the keypad.

Software

S40 5th Edition and Java

Nokia 5130 XpressMusic Music Playback

The 5130 features a fairly simple music player.

its got a standard 3.5 mm headphone jack so that you can hear music from your headphones or speakers .

The audio quality of the inbuilt speaker on the phone’s rear is not perfect. It gets a bit choppy at high volume.

there are dedicated music keys on the side

But its pretty loud and you wont miss a call if u set a loud ringtone.

But the audio quality is dynamic and enjoyable when you use the earphones or a set of insanely expensive Bose Speakers

Camera

Theres a 2.0 Megapixel Camera at the back which takes still pictures and also records video in 320×240 pixels resolution.
