The good: Well designed slider; 3G compatible; nifty navigation switch; bundled with 1GB memory card.

The bad: 2.5mm headphone jack; no substantial internal memory; drab music player; poor stereo headset.

The bottom line: The 5610 XpressMusic is a decent music playing mobile but there's not much to recommend it over its competitors.

Not As Fanstatics



Rating: 2 out of 10 (Terrible)
Pros: 3.2 Mega, Average Speaker music playback, Slider, Fast Navg
Cons: Ugly Looking, Navg Poor, Always can't read memory card, Hardware Error
Opinion:
At glance i bought n6500s of the design after a while of using such a letdown on the phone.. Bought the N5610 with almost the same spec.. Once again, encounter so many problems again. The screen flicker on and off, Hang, Number "3", "6", "9" always can be press sometimes can sometimes cannot so irrating so important of the "9", the games download can be play after few wks it corrupted it display unsupported file, Camera also not standby mode after using awhile.. So Shameless.......

 

Not as perfect as I had expected it to be..



Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Excellent 3.2 MP camera with light, gd stereo sound, damn stylish n hot.
Cons: Hangs often, Average battery life, Slider keys not as responsive
Opinion:
Had bought this phone from Singtel with 2yr contract. It was meant to be an excellent upgrade from my current Nokia 6131. Was deciding between 5610 and 6500 slide.
My requirements: Mz be an excellent camera phone, 1-touch music phone and hv gd organizer functions. But the dream was shattered.
Excellent mp3 and surround sound playback + I love the camera and the photos/video taken with it. Even in the dark. And it looks hot!
However, I have had phone lags several times esp during crucial photo-taking time, when the phone is charging up or sometimes even when idle. I have had to remove the battery, wait a while and then insert it back and switch it on.
Its less responsive to my fast-fingers.+ I prefer N5300 n N5310's side-mounted 1-touch music keys.
U will notice that 5610's slider keys are NOT independent and u cnt skip/forward tracks. Those slider keys rather act as just toggle mode btwn Music, Radio ... Read more

 

Great phone, nice! Almost perfect!



Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: look at the design (Color Blue looks really great!), Vivid screen(Superb) - PSP like, nice 3.2 MP camera (Outdoor), good video playback and recording, great sound quality and affordable price,
Cons: red color version sucks!, not xenon flash equipped, it's only dual led dat's why the "Noise" is really noticeable in low light condition, not Carl Zeiss, lack of Wifi and HSDPA
Opinion:
ey dude/guys! dis is more of a question that an opinion hehe, I own a Nokia 5610 too, just wanna know if you could still successfully pair your 5610(bluetooth) to others or any bluetooth device with the latest firmware that you have mentioned. Is it 4.81 firmware version? Right now I am still using the stock firmware version (4.2) but so far I am not experiencing such lags, major clicking sound problems while playing music. there's just one time that it made a "ksshhhhhhhhhhh" sound while watching video but after restarting my 5610, the sound's gone. Honestly, I am not disappointed with Nokia 5610 although I heard that there are issues according from other 5610 owners that could prevent one from getting this baby yeah! 5610 is the best phone! hope to hear from you soon regarding the firmware update. . .thanks dude
