Nokia 5630 XpressMusic review: A sharp note

2 July 2009
The XpressMusic family has walked a long way – and shed a great deal of weight – since the 5700. The music-centric Finns have always felt at home on Symbian ground though, and the Nokia 5630 is the next step for...

    Nokia XP5630 almost freeze.
    I experienced problems that appears/disappears randomly.

    When I connect an headset bluethoot, after few hours, could be during a call or without any call in place, sudenly the phone lose the connection to the headset, although in the display continues to show the headset as connected.

    On this situation, when I answer the call I need after to chose the option to connect to hand-set, otherwise the call is answered but I don't have the audio and the other party don't listen what I am saying. Looks like the phone software "feel" that the headset device still connected.

    When the phone are in such situation and I try to make a call, even if I type the full number one after the other, each digit only appears one by one and at a speed of one digit per each 4~5 seconds (~30 seconds to see the full number on the display).

    The problem can disppeared after few hours without any additional action, or also disappeared if I switch off/on the phone.

    Problem could not be simulated. Just appears and disspears. Until now I didn't find any way to simulate it or to avoid it.

    The phone is Nokia Xp5630, and the headset is a Nokia BH900.

    Someone already experiended such problems?

          There's a good reason for the cheapy feel of this nokia body, because its made from recycled plastic! I think that's the trade-off and considering with 'green tech' rage nowadays, it's not that bad ,especially if you also feel like environmental conscious,etc..

              to those guys having problems with the fone restarting.. you may want to uprade yer firmware because those with v11 firmware will have loads of bugs in them.. with the v12 (which is the latest) the only problem i experienced so far was the flicker screen when yer tweaking or accessing the contacts bar on the homescreen.

                Thanks for the excellent review.
                How bout doing reviews based on drop testing/destructive testing?
                That would give an idea of how phones look after using for an year.
                Some demo handsets at the shops show clear signs pointing out where the wear and tear occurs. So, a test like this would be a good idea.

                                  Anonymous, 03 Jul 2009can anyone confirm that this is really arm11 600 m?yes, it's really 600 MHz... I try it when installing application, play Crash Nitro Kart 3D and Assasin's Creed HD, the gameplay was smoother than E75 that I tried these games before, theme effect transitions was smoother too... I wonder if this phone's update software is available...

                                      Btw this phone does have stereo speakers and is indicated in the Nokia website. The review wrongly states that the phone does not have stereo speakers. The speakers are on the back, side by side to each other.
