Nokia 5610 XpressMusic Slides Into Play

The Nokia 5610 XpressMusic is similar to the Nokia 5310 — also announced at the same time — in many ways, except they’ve upped the ante and transformed it into a slider. As can be expected from an XpressMusic phone, the Nokia 5610 also boasts a series of dedicated media buttons to fast track your melodic enjoyment.

The QVGA display here, at 2.2-inches across the diagonal, is marginally bigger than the 2-incher found on the 5310. You’ll also notice that the camera has been upgraded to a 3.2 megapixel unit, but the microSD expansion slot is identical with its cap at four gigabytes. Rounding out the goodness are Symbian S40, FM radio, and Bluetooth.

Look for the Nokia 5610 XpressMusic slider phone to hit European retailers during Q4 2007 with a price tag reading 300 Euros (US$409).
