Today I just bought my amazing 5700 Nokia. When I was buying this set everyone said to me set is not good battery is not upto the mark joystick is very awkward message sending is on the slow side etc.etc. But when I got my hands on this baby and Started playing with it i straight away fall in love with it. I used N73 music addition and N95 but 5700 got his own class. Software is lightning fast every option responds in 0.0135 seconds. Can handle multiple queries smoothly. Display is mindblowing. Camera quality is at par with N73 in daylite not very attractive when inside or at night. Handfree gives in a soothing feeling to your ears. All in all this is the best mobile I used so far. Nokia is about to give hard time to SE in this dept. All the best for upcoming Nokia. Cheers to everyone

there is no pencil key.... but you have the # key which replaces this key.
it does the same functions... marks and unmarks, copies and pastes, etc.

my prob with this phone is turning it off for a long time will make the calendar stop working. sure, the time will continue to move, but you're still on the same date and day.
i'm not sure of this goes with other phone or not.

i just bought that set after 3250 ... i am a nokia and symbian fan .. the sound is little less then 3250 but better in quqlity ... its hell faster then 3250 but sending msgs are quite slow ... and battery time is not as much as you like ... the next firmwere upgrade should give more options in the equlizer and increase a sound a bit ... coz you can't even hear the sound in crowded areas ... speacially the msg tones ... but over all ... the set is living up to expectatios ...

To GSM Arena: I'm planning on buying this phone, but now that I've read the review, I'm quite hesistant since you say the joystick is the biggest letdown. Is it really that bad?

My first phone was an Ngage and i fell in love with symbian.
I was in dire need of a 3rd edition phone with a low budget.
This phone answered my prayers. KUDOS NOKIA
In the review, there are some mistakes.
1. There is an keypad autolock feature.
2. The red button almost always closes the running application which is very irritating while playing games.
Some flaws with the phone though:
No pencil key, Camera too grainy, Joystick too stiff and slippery if fingers slightly oily. Also,after 3months of use:
Some keys on the front malfunction, but fix themselves after repeated twists. some loose contact problem.
The sound converter with the included CD is not perfect. Better to use mp3 format and not eAAC format.
U guys can close the music player though:
Here's how to completely exit music player
music player eats up your ram if its in the background,heres how to exit:
go to music player -> choose options and choose go to music menu -> click on all songs -> click options and select album art -> click options and select change -> choose graphic download ->then go to options and select exit... and you'll be completely be out ofthe music player.

Ah right philips it is. However philips isn't really well known for their earphones.. the earphones included is particularly very flat sounding, does not have any rich tones etc.. However, I must say this is definitely a good earphone to come bundled in a phone and I commend nokia for this. At least it gives some alternatives to SE w series that comes with their sony canal earphones, though i've never bought a SE w series.. as of yet.

The reason for comparing it to 3250 is probably cause it the predecessor to the twisting feature and 3250 was a pretty good music phone back then. And commenting on the weak bass.. this is argueable however i just thought id like to comment for those who are interested in this phone that it is definitely weak on the low frequencies.. in fact it is pretty noticable. However just on the low-low bass though. Personally its not an alternative to my music player. However, as the review said, aside from some minor drawbacks on the music side (being nothing special besides the "dedicated audio chip"), everything else is good =) (ignoring the horrible joystick)

A bargain for a phone with these kind of features and a smartphone too.

the original headphone sets that comes with the nokia 5700 xm is very good in the quality of music but i suggest u would use any other well known brand headphone set and see the difference of the sound quality ... trust me it double up the quality ... i used " i luv " headphone set and its like it doubled up the bass and the clarity of this phone ... this phone truly rocks as a music phone trust me its dedicated music chip is build to give u quality sounds ...
