The Good and the Bad: a Nokia 5500 Sport Review

Some other features make the 5500 a complete consumer smartphone. Aside from the 2.0 megapixel that can take still or moving images, holding down 0 activates a flashlight.
At least here in the Philippines, Nokia has bundled some great accessories. The wired remote features full playback and volume controls. It also uses a standard line-in socket, making it possible to plug in other earphones (though the bundled set is pretty good). You also get two wrist straps, each of which come with a grey nub that doubles as a battery cover opener, in lieu of a thing-enough coin. And the included 512MB microSD is indeed welcome, for not that many songs can fit on the smartphone's 64MB internal memory.

Time for a little nit-picking, for the 5500 flaws are minor. The rubberized keys takes a little getting used to, allowing only assertive presses to register. Though the music this mobile will produce is great, the player application is slightly cumbersome, requiring you to scroll up or down through each action, instead of assigning each playback function to a specific key on the 5-way directional keypad.
But these are only slight drawbacks. The Nokia 5500
is a great deal, going for as low as £149 (below $300), and is perfect for people looking for a full-featured smartphone but lack the money for high-end models.Permalink: The Good and the Bad: a Nokia 5500 Sport Review
