Nokia 5730 XpressMusic


The Nokia 5730 XpressMusic is a mobile phone announced on March 11, 2009. It features a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, dedicated camera, volume, gaming and music keys, as well as Wi-Fi connectivity and an accelerometer that rotates the display between portrait and landscape modes. It runs on Symbian OS v9.3 with the S60 3rd Edition user interface. The device was marketed as a more affordable, multimedia-oriented counterpart to the Nokia E75, which had a similar sliding keyboard design.
The 2.4-inch TFT display has a 240 × 320 pixel resolution. A 3.5 mm headphone jack allows the use of standard earphones, and the phone was sold in pink, red, blue or silver trims. An Ovi web application was pre-installed, providing access to Nokia’s online services such as games, music, videos, apps, media sharing and social networking.
The 5730 includes a 3.2-megapixel rear camera with Carl Zeiss optics, LED flash and 30 fps VGA video recording. It also supports satellite and network-guided A-GPS. The handset integrated the N-Gage gaming platform, allowing users to download, trial and play 3D N-Gage titles. It is 3.5G compatible, supporting up to 7.2 Mbit/s HSDPA connectivity for internet access, video calling and email. Uniquely, when connected to a PC or laptop, it could function as a wireless broadband modem.
The device could also view and lightly edit Microsoft Office files. PDF files could be opened with Adobe Reader LE 1.5.0, and RealPlayer supported video streaming, including YouTube.
