Nokia 5730 XpressMusic review: Full musical keyboard

14 August 2009
No news is good news and the Nokia 5730 XpressMusic is quite keen to go about humming that tune like it didn’t care. Recruiting Symbian for an entertainment job is nothing new really and no, we’re not surprised...

      Huzefa, 22 Aug 2009Guys can someone tell me which one is better when this phon... morethe N79 is a great phone and i got to play with it a lot cuz my friend have it .. the main differences between this and that is the transmitter and 5 MP camera for the N79 and the QWERTY for the 5730 .. i personally need the QWERTY so i am getting this .. if you need a QWERTY get this and if you dont get the N79 .. either way you wont regret it cuz they are both really good by all means

          Unless the price difference between this device and the Nokia E75 is substantial, most potential buyers will automatically opt for the E75 with its superior build and slightly more features such as full document management and VGA Video recording at 30 fps. Therefore this device which is very expensive at present has to drop in price to stand a chance.

                You can charge it through USB, when connected to computer, but it depends on the cable you get or buy. Some of them are wired so that you can charge the phone, and in some cables one of the pins that makes charging possible isn't used. It depends on how the cable is wired inside. I hope this helps.

                      HK version 5730 also mentioned in the maunal that currently can't charge by microUSB until there's an update of firmware. But I'd tested and it works on a normal microUSB charger(other brand) and the microUSB cable which comes w/ the box.

                      And the headphone are different. It's a normal in-ear design which I think the one showing on the review looks a bit better.

                        Hey there i thought the video recording was 15 fps but in the review it is stated as 30. So can someone really clarify this error? How many visualizations does this phone have?

                          Nor a bad handset, but not a good firmware for 5730.
                          Same as 5800Xm, the latest firmware brings stability and we want the same stability firmware for 5730Xm with improvements in sound quality and strong S/W.
                          Why there is no remote controll and headset is one piece????? But official website shows AD54 and HS83......
                          Nokia cheating costumers.. Maybe another website review should help us about dis doubt........

                              About the charging, some users say it charges through the USB.
