+ REVIEWS:
Mobileburn reviews the Nokia 5500, they write:
“The phonebook interface is clean, intuitive, and very quick. Scrolling through contacts, for example, is very fast. Tabs along the top of the screen allow you to switch between the full list and caller groups in no time…The best thing about this search system is that it recognizes all parts of your contact’s first name or last name…Pros: Pedometer, small S60 device with decent battery life, innovative control, loud and clear ringtones, full browser, fair multimedia capability, built in MP3 ringtone editor, abundant applications. Cons: Keypad too hard, lack of programs supporting unique screen resolution, muffling of voice over earpiece, flimsy SIM card and microSD slots, insufficient internal memory.”
LordPercy reviews the Nokia 5500, they write:
“The main feature of the handset, apart from the stainless steel body designed to withstand knocks, dust and water splashes, is the tappable screen. This does exactly what it says on the box, one tap of the screen accesses different features depending which of the three modes – phone, music and sport – you are currently in…The sport mode comes complete with a pedometer which can count either steps taken or calories burnt – again highlighting the emphasis on the sport side.”
Trusted Reviews reviews the Nokia 5500, they rated the phone 6/10 and write:
“The already noted ‘instant swap’ button lets you cycle between music player, training software and the front screen of the handset. The screens are colour coded – green, red and blue respectively and as you swap, a light behind the navigation button glows green red and cool white respectively. This is a feature I like, though given that you will be wearing the 5500 on your belt while training you’ll have to do some clever contortions to see the colour changes.”
Infosync reviews the Nokia 5500, they rated the phone 85% and write:
“Whether using the handset itself, its loudspeaker or a Bluetooth headset, calling with the 5500 Sport is an enjoyable experience courtesy of Nokia’s usual excellence audio quality and signal reception. Contacts management is also top notch with speaker independent voice dialing as a particular treat, although the inability to add pictures to contacts is a wee bit disappointing. Battery life, meanwhile, clocks in at 3 hours of talk time and 7 days of standby, which is about par for the course.”
Mobile-Review reviews the Nokia 5500, they write:
“The built-in 3D sensor makes it real for the Sport mode to exist in this model. Observation accuracy is just enough for most cases, yet similarly to other phones with a pedometer on board, there is a certain measure of error possible, including random start ups when driving in a car (it’s a drawback of all sport-centric devices). But for routine trainings the 5500 provides more than satisfactory accuracy.”
