The Nokia Xpress Music range of mobile phones has now expanded to include the Nokia 5610 Blue Edition, a sliding music orientated phone that has just been released as a SIM free handset.

The Nokia 5610 Blue offers exactly the same great features, design and technology as the original Red Nokia 5610 but with some cool blue coloured accents around the outside of the handset.

The Blue Nokia 5610 Slider is the second of two new XpressMusic handsets to be added to the Nokia range.

The Nokia 5310 offers a 2.0 mega pixel camera, whilst the Nokia 5610 features a 3.2 mega pixel camera and enjoys the luxury of autofocus, built-in dual LED flash and a secondary camera for video calling.

The Nokia 5610 Blue also features a slighter larger QVGA display screen measuring 2.2 inches rather than 2 but the Music features are pretty much identical with a Music Player that supports MP3/MP4/AAC/eAAC/WMA file formats, FM Stereo Radio with RDS and the optional 4GB microSD card which will hold 3,000 songs.

Available in Black with Red or Blue accents to choose from, the Nokia 5610 XpressMusic phone is 3G enabled which makes downloading music, browsing online and video calling that much faster.

3G services will keep you entertained with clips from the Angry kid, keep you posted on the latest financial updates, weather, news and sports headlines and make available a whole host of other downloadable content, whether it be games, music, video clips or horoscopes.

Another point worth mentioning is the amount of music playback time, the Nokia 5310 offers 18hrs whereas the Nokia 5610 offers 22hrs of playback.

The aluminium side panels add to the high level of design and good looks of the handset, whilst the dedicated music keys add to the easier usability factor.

A symbian series 40 handset, the Nokia 5610 comes with Bluetooth v2.0 with A2DP Stereo support, EDGE technology, UMTS support and miniUSB.

Nokia sensor, World Clock II and Converter II add important secondary applications options to the phone and built-in handsfree makes voice calling that much less demanding.

So apart from being a Music Phone with great photographic abilities, accessing emails, booking last minute reservations and shopping online are am absolute.

The Nokia 5610 Blue has not yet been released by any UK networks but it has been made available as a SIM free handset with network launches expected very soon.

This is great news for consumers as they can now simply buy the handset and insert their current SIM card that holds all of their existing account details and mobile number.

No extra ongoing costs of line rental or minimum term contract periods, sim free mobile phones are great for people who may have had their phone stolen or simply lost.
