Nokia XpressMusic 5610 for T-MobileThe Nokia 5610 XpressMusic handset has been circling T-Mobile’s network for longer than we can remember (our short-term is shot). The Nokia 5310 XpressMusic has already touched down on T-Mobile as a monoblock (candybar) musicphone, but that leaves the slider form-factor Nokia 5610 XpressMusic yet to come.

Today, we’re finally seeing the music-oriented slider land on T-Mobile as the newest musicphone to rock your world.

The Nokia 5610 XpressMusic features a microSD card slot for storing music, a slightly awkward 2.5mm headphone jack, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, and external music controls for all your music listening pleasure. But, the Nokia 5610 XpressMusic isn’t just handy for media playback, it’ll hang with the best from Espoo with a 3.2Nokia XpressMusic 5610 for T-Mobile megapixel autofocus camera that sports a dual-LED flash, quad-band (850/900/1800/1900Mhz) GSM radio, and support for T-Mobile’s myFaves service.

And, at 17mm thin, the Nokia 5610 XpressMusic isn’t as thin as its candybar sibling, the Nokia 5310 XpressMusic. But, it’s not going to add too much bulk to that pants pocket of yours, either. Unfortunately, you’ll have to lug around a 2.5-to-3.5mm headphone jack adapter if you want to actually listen to tunes with your favorite pair of headphones.

If sliding form-factors and external music controls pique your interest, you’ll want to hit up your nearest T-Mobile dealer for a crack at the Nokia 5610 XpressMusic handset.

T-Mobile is offering the Nokia 5610 XpressMusic slider for $99 after two-year contract, in your choice of Black and Red or, as expected, White and Silver.
