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...

What about the music player? Is it loud enough? I know Nokia has produced some powerful devices in the past and I'm wondering if that's the case with 5630 too. I own a Sony Ericsson W880i and I'm very disappointed with the Walkman player; you can hardly listen to the song when there's lot of noise, even at full volume!
I wonder how can anyone even compare Nokia and SE...

                      built-in music player having some issues? it might be best if you just install a 3rd party player like viking or winplayer, that way skins would be customisable as well ^_^

                      im soooooo drooling myself to death over this phone haha @_@

                        You didn't notice any strange reboots while using the music player? I have owned a Nokia 5630 for a couple of days now and my phone restarts itself quite often while the music player is in use. And I've talked to two other 5630 owners who reported the same problem.

                        Seems to be some software problems. If i remember correctly the Nokia 5310 had the same problem in the beginning as well.

                          Yawn, old technology, nothing new on the table!
                          Great for someone that loves music, and wants a normal phone.

                          But for me, it ain't special

                                meh~ boring. Brings nothng new to the table and cheap plastic all over. I can't see why I would even consider this when SE and Sammy have much more to offer. More like Xpresscrap.

                                    It seems like this will be another 200$ phone. Why do you compare it to the gayPhone that consts 3 times as much?
