By admin on March 15th, 2010
For those who want a nice phone with a good set of features, but don’t want to pay a lot for it, the Nokia 5130 White Aqua may be just what you are looking for. The features you get with the Nokia 5130 Xpressmusic are mainly focusesd on music, but there are some other very useful tools that come with this handset as well.
The music player that comes with the Nokia 5130 supports a wide variety of the most popular audio formats. With this music player you can create and edit music lists, use shuffle, plus much more. Transferring music to your phone is easy; it can be done with either a microSD card, or with USB. In addition, you can run other phone applications, but still be listening to your favorite music.
For additional entertainment, the Nokia 5130 Xpress Music cell phone comes with some preloaded demo games, including Bejeweled, Midnight Pool, as well as many more. If you decide you like the games it’s easy to purchase them and download them to your handset.
Some additional features that come with the Nokia 5130 White Aqua include a speakerphone; there is a vibrate mode, a stopwatch, and a countdown timer, as well as an alarm clock, and a calculator. The personal organization tools you get with this phone include a voice recorder, calendar, and a task list, plus there is a phonebook that will accommodate hundreds of contacts.
Of course it’s not all about the music player and core features, you will also get a few advanced features with the Nokia 5130 Xpress Music phone; these include such features as Bluetooth, voice commands, plus there is Instant Messaging, text and multimedia messaging, as well as access to web based email.
For taking pictures you get a 2-megapixel camera that also records video. You can take pictures in six different resolutions, in addition to having access to several special photography modes. The picture and video quality is standard for a camera phone, which means that the pictures will come out okay, but not good enough to replace your stand-alone digital camera.
On the front of this candy bar style phone there is a 2-inch display, and although it does provide bright colors, the mediocre resolution doesn’t really do justice to graphics. The Nokia 5130 White Aqua measures 4.2 x 1.8 x 0.6 inches so it is compact enough that it will easily slip into your pocket or handbag.
The battery life of this phone is rated for 6 hours of talk time and 12 days of standby time, which isn’t bad for a music phone.
For an inexpensive phone, the Nokia 5130 Xpressmusic is a great choice.
