Nokia 5500 Review

The Nokia 5500 Sport combines the passion and spirit of sports with the latest in mobile communications. It’s an ideal companion for an active, urban lifestyle.

Switched into sports mode, the Nokia 5500 Sport helps you keep track of work or your work-out. The integrated pedometer feature serves to monitor distance walked or calories burnt -during a busy day in the city or that breathtaking cardio session. For extra durability, the Nokia 5500 Sport features an ergonomic stainless steel casing, complemented by a splash and dust resistant shell and rubber grips. The sleek Nokia 5500 Sport is engineered with materials used in the latest high performance running shoes which make it look good on and off the court.

Nokia 5500 review by Trustedreviews:
The Nokia 5500 Sport hardware has been designed to be impact, water and dust resistant and the casing is a mix of metal edging and rubber with no holes into which dust or water could get.
This means that the number pad on the front of the casing is flat. I’m not the biggest fan of flat number pads as they can make it difficult to know if you’ve actually hit the keys you want, but ridging in the design and definite audible and tactile responses when you press keys means that it’s not a problem here.

The Call and End keys are the left and right ends of a raised band that frames the left, right and top edges of the screen. The band is coloured white on my ‘dark/grey’ version of the handset though there is also a ‘light/yellow’ version where it is, well, yellow.

Nokia 5500 review by Mobile-review:
In 5000 series, retaining all signs of youth handsets, there were some splash-proof models up to now, namely Nokia 5210, Nokia 5140, Nokia 5140i. All these devices were promoted as extremely durable models with sporty capabilities, like Fitness Coach, Sport Diary and various additional accessories. Nevertheless in view of price at some sorts of extra gadgets and lack of advertising, these offsprings of the sport class were not much of hits.

The triband Nokia 5500 Sport (GSM 900/1800/1900) is scheduled to sprint into stores during the summer (3rd quarter) of 2006 and is expected to retail for around 300 EUR before taxes and subsidies.

Nokia 5200 Review

The Nokia 5200 offers an exciting combination of music and messaging functions and is an even more budget-friendly handset for young and sociable consumers.

Nokia 5200 was launched at the same time with another model, 5300, that looks and has the same features with two exceptions: display and camera. So, if you like the phone and want an enhanced experience (larger display and better camera) you can get the upgraded version of 5200 (5300), which of course will cost you more. The Nokia 5200 XpressMusic phone borrows some of the design principles of the Nokia 5300, and is available as a slider. As with other XpressMusic phones, the 5200 features dedicated music access keys and support for MP3/M4A/WMA/AAC/eAAC+ audio formats.
Softpedia review the Nokia 5200 and writes “Nokia 5200 seems to have borrowed LG’s Chocolate design, like many other phones that were launched after LG’s big market success terminal. Oh yes, it’s a ‘’flip, flip, flipper'’ ladies and gentlemen. Unfortunately, it’s totally made of plastic. If you don’t mind this, you will surely love Nokia’s 5200 model. Further more, the handset has been designed like a music phone, thus it has music controls on both sides. On the left side, there’s the music button, used for opening or closing the MP3 player or the FM radio, and also the 2.5mm stereo jack for headset. On the right side of the phone we can find other two buttons that control the volume of the music, and one button which controls the camera. All buttons are greatly embedded in the frame of the device making them hardly noticeable. Like all Nokia’s handsets, the power button states its business from the top of the device. Just near the power button, there’s the charger port and the USB port. On the bottom of the phone there’s … nothing. Lastly, on the back of the handset we can find the camera for taking photos. I have to mention this because it’s important: I had big troubles opening the back lid, be very careful ’cause it’s very fragile. Oops, forgot to mention the microSD card slot, but I’m entitled to do that and you’ll see why. When I took the phone, I knew its specifications and was looking for the microSD slot all over its frame. Didn’t find it, so I opened the back lid thinking that it has a motoRAZR-like layout. Took out the battery only to find that there is no card slot there whatsoever. So, the only thing left was the manual. I opened it and … Evrika, we have the microSD slot card up on the left side (just near the headset port), but you have to open the back lid otherwise you can’t reach it. Wicked :) ! If you are more of a math guy, here are its numbers: 92.4 x 48.2 x 20.7 mm and 104 grams weight (including battery).”
