Testurteil: "7 out of 10 (Good)"
Test: Einzeltest: Nokia 5730 XpressMusic
Zitat: Pros: + Proper build-quality and youthful design
+ Fast GPS
Cons: - Unhandy QWERTY keyboard
- Mediocre audio playback and incall quality
- Inconvenient navigational buttons
- No Nokia Messaging support
The Nokia 5730 XpressMusic tries to appeal to young people, who are on the lookout for a smartphone that is equally good at audio playback, writing messages and social networking. Unfortunately, Jack of all trades typically goes with master of none and that´s exactly the case of the Nokia 5730 XpressMusic - it´s average at best, which sadly, doesn’t hold true for several key aspects, including its QWERTY keyboard and in-call quality. Ultimately, the price tag of the phone is unjustified given its mediocre performance in almost any respect. If you need another option, meaning a cell phone equipped with QWERTY keyboard, the Nokia E63 is another viable option - it belongs to Nokia´s business lineup, but sports a youthful design and a 3.5mm jack. In case you´re willing to give up on the QWERTY, take the 5630 XpressMusic – it doesn’t deliver better audio playback and comes without GPS, but is a lot faster, thinner and lighter. Although just a feature phone, the Sony Ericsson W705 is a decent alternative as well.
