“On the bank of Iceland’s world-famous Blue Lagoon, the Nokia 5500 Sport leaped into the world arena, displaying its sleek, sporty design with an athletic lifestyle appeal.”
Nice introduction from Nokia and cute phone for young people overall. It will run on S60 3rd edition platform and you will have an access to Java and Symbian applications from Nokia Software Market.
Very important to mention are Nokia 5500 modes. A single button serves to activate three dedicated “modes” – a phone mode to stay in touch, the music mode to unwind or power-up, and the sports mode to help you break a sweat.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
