Nokia 5730 XpressMusic user reviews

Po Panda 2 October 2009

Good: Has everything of the 5800 (and some) and has the functionality of the E75

Bad: The T9 pad could be a little better, but it's still good.

Comment: First of all, the actual c|net UK review of this phone is a little off. This is basically a 'hip' E75 with more social networking and multi-media functionality.

I absolutely LOVE the contacts bar! I also appreciate the extra memory that it has (nearly, if not more than the E75). My wife will be getting the E75, mainly because all she does is text and email and actually use it for what it is, a phone.

I on the other hand, like to listen to music at work, I like to surf the net on my breaks and keep in touch on my facebook account as well as MMS. This is where the 5730XM really shines.

I really like the font it uses, and the color scheme is nice. It really suits my style more than an E75. Don't get me wrong, the E75 is an awesome phone, but I personally prefer the black 'plasticky' look more than the chrome look.

I enjoy having the N-gage capability and the additional N-gage button. Just another thing that it has over the E75.

The music sounds very good. I know that there are some techno-audio philes out there that have the hearing ability of a bat, and will tell you that this phone is not all that, but for a 'human', it sounds really good to me, and that's what matters.

I could go on and on about how awesome this phone is, but the best way to sum it up would be; if you like multi-media, social networking and games than this 'hip E75' is for you. If you are all business and don't care about anything but texting, MMS, email and web browsing, then the E75 maybe more your flavor. You can't lose either way. However, I do believe that the 5730XM is technically superior to the E75 in RAM and everyday software.
