Nokia 5730 XpressMusic A Curious Amalgamation

The yet unannounced Nokia 5730 XpressMusic is a pretty strange handset, as it seems to be a love child between an E Series smartphone and your everyday happy-go-lucky XpressMusic handset. What makes the new 5730 XpressMusic more interesting is the inclusion of a full sliding QWERTY keyboard alongside the following :-

• 2″ display at 240 x 320 resolution
• GSM/EDGE connectivity
• Symbian S60 operating system
• 3.2 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss lens, autofocus and flash
• Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP connectivity
• 140MB internal memory
• microSDHC memory card slot

Strange to see 3G support omitted, but then again you can’t really expect too much at a €220 price tag, can you? This could possibly be the poor man’s Xperia X1 or HTC Touch Pro. Word has it that the Nokia 5730 XpressMusic will be announced later this month, but it will only be released in Europe from April onwards.
