Nokia 5610 XpressMusic cleared by the FCC

In case you live in the U.S. and wanted to grab a decent mid-range music-centric phone, you’ll be glad to know FCC has recently approved the Nokia 5610 XpressMusic. What seems as the direct successor to the popular Nokia 5310 model has kept the slider form factor, yet it know has a much better 3 megapixel camera. Nokia’s Series 40 is running the show, meaning you’ll have one of the easiest to use phones on the market — not that other feature phone platforms are more complicated, it’s just that Nokia feature phones are known to provide great out-of-the-box experience.

At the moment of this writing, we’ve no idea whether some carrier will pick it up, but you’ll always be able to grab it at one of Nokia’s flagship stores in New York or Chicago, or directly from the handset maker’s website.

    One important thing to point out about this phone is that the euro version had WCDMA 850, so that means that some people could potentially use the phone with AT&T’s 3G. Even better, there will probably be a version with 850/1900 WCDMA to completely make use of their entire 3G network…850-only is still a little spotty.

    Pretty nice phone if the price is right -

    i bought my most recent phone, the nokia n97, from gsmallover.com. they don’t carry the 5610.. but the n97 also has an mp3 player..it was prob more $$ than what the 5610 would be, but i’m guessing it was worth it. i really like my phone. and even though it was a bit more..i still think i got a great deal on it. i compared prices of other phone sites to gsmallover and i they had lowest prices for almost all the phones…well the ones i’ve seen so far
