The Nokia X5-01 Has A Diverse Media Range

• It seems that every day there are new smart phones being introduced. Many are pretty much similar to the rest, but one notable exception is the Nokia X5-01. It has all the popular features in a rather unusual package that sets it apart from similar handsets. Beyond the basic telecommunication abilities, it has a definite focus on music, messaging and social networking.
  
  The most distinctive aspect of Nokia X5-01 phone is its unconventional shape. It is nearly as wide as it is tall, giving it a look that is essentially square in appearance. In fact, with a width of 66 millimeters and a length of 74 millimeters, it just barely qualifies as rectangular.
  
  The unit proceeds to attract attention with its available color schemes. If the unorthodox shape doesn't catch the eye, the pink, purple or yellow green colors certainly will. If a tamer look is desired, azure and graphite are more demure options. In any event, its appearance will get it noticed.
  
  Despite the obvious emphasis on looks, Nokia X5-01 phone has a lot of functionality packed inside. In particular, the Nokia X5-01 has all the basic necessities for multi-media and web browsing users. Also, the capability for social network integration is well defined and relatively comprehensive. The width allows for a larger than usual screen size that compliments these functions.
  
  This device utilizes the powerful Symbian S60 3rd edition operating system with a 600 MHz ARM 11 processor that easily allows the owner to add new applications on demand. It has support for tri-band HSDPA and HSUPA to aid expandability and world-wide roaming. Quad-band, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1, micro USB and the 3.5mm audio jack insure connectivity for most every purpose.
  
  The Nokia X5-01 boasts a full QWERTY keyboard in a handy slider configuration. From this control center, users can integrate with major social networks like My Space, Twitter, Hi5 and Facebook. The unit also comes with support for popular instant messengers and it handles multiple email accounts.
  
  The wide shape of Nokia X5-01 really comes into play by accommodating a generous, non-touch, 320 x 240 pixel display mounted in a landscape mode. This QVGA resolution window is especially useful for web browsing, compared to the more common tall and narrow screens. Large fingered users will appreciate the fact that the QWERTY keys are somewhat bigger and easier to use.
  
  Many of the common functions are controlled by some new gestures that simplify use and make it interesting to use. For instance, shaking the phone produces a list of unread messages, while spinning it will cause music selections to switch to random tracks. Of course, traditional buttons can be used and there is a dedicated music key.
  
  The musical features will support most popular media formats and an FM radio is included in the mix. The standard package of Nokia X5-01 has a 2GB memory card for storage of files, along with a wired stereo headset and loud speakers. The micro SD card slot can expand file storage up to 32GB.
  
  On the unremarkable, but adequate side, there is a 5 mega pixel camera with LED flash, 4x digital zoom, and 640 x 480 pixels video recording at 15 frames per second with Nokia X5-01. Talk time is also respectable at up to 3.5 hours with a 16 day maximum standby time and 24 hours of music playback is specified.
  
  While the Nokia X5-01 phone is primarily aimed at a younger audience, it has enough versatility and functionality to serve the needs of users looking for a good selection of media capabilities.
