A teenager friend of mine…just going into college wanted a phone to do all the basic stuff mobile phones has to do these days…like shoot pictures, play music / videos / games, sms / mms and ofcourse to TALK too….his budget being 6K…and his preference was a Nokia…so when I saw Nokia 5130 Xpress Music online..i suggested him & he bought it….
- First & foremost the phone has rounded edges made up of black plastic surrounded by blue trimmings, making it quite funky to look at.
- The 2″ 240 x 320 TFT screen doesn’t look impressive as on hand as that on paper
- The phone is a standard series 40 based nokia phone making it quite user friendly
- The 2 MP camera is quite handy for shooting stills & videos in nice bright conditions
- The phone being a “Xpress Music” one was true to its name with good & loud sounding music through its media player. A 1GB card in the package along with 3.5 mm jack, FM radio and video player makes it a handy portable media player.
- Connectivity in the form of USB, bluetooth, GPRS / EDGE should be enough for local and web connectivity
- Customization is a important tool for phones nowadays and themes for series 40 phones makes it a new phone every day along with customizable wallpapers and ringtones a nice feature
- Even though Java games and apps ran on this phone, some of the java games I had didnt work properly.
As I said at 6K, 120K its quite a nice phone for teens and kids …being a ‘Jack of All Trades’ and ‘King of None’……
