The Nokia 5300 XpressMusic can hold over
100 albums worth of music (approximately 1500 tracks)
on a 2GB microSD card. Thanks to dedicated music keys,
consumers can easily control the playback of their music
while simultaneously enjoying other functions such as
texting, browsing or taking pictures. For an even better
groove, consumers can plug in their favorite headphones
or external speakers with a 3.5mm headset jack by simply
connecting them to the Nokia 5300 XpressMusic using the
inbox adapter. The Nokia 5300 XpressMusic swiftly transfers
albums and music collections to a PC using a standard
micro USB connector. When traveling, consumers can use
the Nokia Wireless Audio Gateway AD-42W to stream their
music collection and favorite playlists wirelessly to
any stereo from their Nokia 5300 XpressMusic.
No one-hit wonder, the Nokia 5300 XpressMusic also comes
with the latest messaging functions complemented by a
1.3 megapixel camera. Incoming calls can be enhanced with
video ring tones on the high resolution display. The Nokia
5300 XpressMusic is expected to retail for approximately
250 EUR, before taxes and subsidies. |
In addition, Nokia today revealed two other music devices,
the Nokia 5200 and the Nokia 3250 XpressMusic. Featuring a

XpressMusic, the Nokia 5200 offers an exciting combination
of music and messaging functions and is an even more budget-friendly
handset for young and sociable consumers. The Nokia 5200 is

design, the Nokia 3250 XpressMusic has doubled the music capacity
