Hexus Lifestyle: Nokia this week introduced three further music models due to come available very soon – the Nokia 5300 XpressMusic, the Nokia 5200 and the Nokia 3250 XpressMusic.
The 5300 XpressMusic slide phone – €250 before taxes and subsidies – is reckoned to hold up to 1,500 tracks, though that requires upgrading to a 2GB microSD card. And, it offers a reasonable spread of features. There’s a 1.3 megapixel camera for a start, plus the ability to have video ring tones for incoming calls.
Down a notch in features – well, presumably, because Nokia gives few details apart from the price (€200) – the Nokia 5200 is another slide phone and said to be an “exciting combination of music and messaging functions” and targeted at “young and sociable” consumers.
Last of the bunch, and most expensive – at €400 – is the 3250 XpressMusic, a reworked version of the original 3250 twist phone that can hold twice as many tracks (1,500) as its forerunner – thanks to new support for an optional 2GB microSD card. As before, this is a GSM model carrying a 2 megapixel camera.
