Nokia 5130 XpressMusic Review

For a continued time we anticipation that the 5130 wasn't activity to be appear in the UK. But assuredly it has been. So let's booty a attending to see what the UK has been missing for the accomplished six months ...

The 5130 seems to be an adapted adaptation of the 5310 XpressMusic phone. But delay ... maybe that should apprehend downgraded. Although the 5130 is a newer phone, it's a astern step. First the admeasurement - there's no added way to put this, but the 5130 is fat. It's best and added too, and heavier. Just bigger all over. But for no accessible purpose, as the array activity is no more good and the awning is the aforementioned admeasurement as the 5310, at 2 inches across. And the awning shows alone 256,000 colours, instead of 2 actor on the 5310. The anamnesis agenda aperture supports abate agenda sizes too - belted to 2 GB.

Everything abroad is the aforementioned as the earlier 5130, so what absolutely is the point of this phone? Also, you'll see from the user reviews beneath that the buzz has a addiction to freeze. Thumbs down, I'm afraid.
