  • Rogers right behind T-Mobile, launches Nokia 5310 XpressMusic

    Filed under: Handsets , Nokia , Rogers Wireless , GSM , EDGE Nokia's 9.9mm wonder with the 3.5mm headphone jack, the 5310 XpressMusic, has found its way north from T-Mobile to Canada's Rogers. In a best-case scenario, the phone will run you $99.99 CAD (about $101) on a three-year contract after rebate, which includes a 1GB microSD card in-box -- but let's be honest, we both know that you'll want something just a little bit beefier than 1GB if you're serious enough about your music to put this one in your pocket, so expect to spend just a little bit more by the time it's all said and done.

  • T-Mobile gets Nokia's XpressMusic 5310

    Filed under: Handsets , Nokia , T-Mobile , GSM , EDGE T-Mobile's no stranger to Nokia's XpressMusic series of funky little music phones, and the tradition continues today with the introduction of the 5310 . This colorful candybar has some pretty solid street cred as a viable music player, too, with a microSD slot, svelte 9.9mm body and -- most importantly -- a real 3.5mm jack for the headphones of your choosing. You've also got a 2 megapixel camera and a QVGA display to play with, both of which'll surely come in handy for entertainment while you're waiting for data to pull down over the EDGE radio (sorry, T-Mobile, we couldn't help ourselves). It'll run $49.99 on contract starting May 28 in black with your choice of purple, orange, or red accents. Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments
  • 16 devices for T-Mobile between June and August?

    Filed under: Handsets , HTC , Motorola , Nokia , RIM , Samsung , Sharp , T-Mobile , Windows Mobile , Danger , GSM , EDGE TmoNews has published a laundry list of devices that it says will launch between June 16 and August 1 -- 13, to be exact, with another three that aren't listed. That's a positively Japan-esque release pace, a breakneck schedule that we're having a hard time believing. To its credit, several launches that are known or well-rumored to be in the pipe are listed here, including the Motorola E8 , Shadow II , Samsung t229 and t339 , and Nokia 5610 , but to its dis credit, fanciful devices like an alleged Shadow III are also in the mix along with the BlackBerry Bold, which AT&T has an exclusive on following its launch over there that should easily prevent T-Mob from picking it up by August 1. Of course, there could be some wiggle room on those dates, and again, most of these devices seem totally plausible -- but for now we've got to file this squarely in the "we want to believe" category.

  • Nokia announces XpressMusic 5310 and 5610

    Filed under: Handsets , Nokia , GSM , GPRS , EDGE , UMTS Nokia has added two models to its music oriented XpressMusic series today. The 5310 candybar clocks in at just 9.9mm thick, offers 18 hours of music playback -- through the 3.5mm jack if you're so inclined -- a microSD slot supporting capacities up to 4GB, dedicated music controls, and a QVGA display for €225 (about $307) when it ships in the fourth quarter. Next up, the 5610 rocks a slider form factor and features a nifty slide navigation bar underneath the display, metallic and high-gloss finishes, a 2.2 inch QVGA display, 3.2 megapixel camera, microSD slot, and close to a full day of music playback for a tad more than its sibling, €300 (about $410), with a drop date also in Q4.
