Even though we still haven’t heard anything official from Nokia about the 5730 XpressMusic, that hasn’t stopped Russian site Mobile Review to publish its preview of the device. From what we can see, thanks to the full slide-out QWERTY keyboard, the upcoming device resembles one other model we’ve seen in the wild for few times – Nokia E75. This one, however, won’t focus on enterprise but on younger audience who presumably use their phones for frequent texting and music.

Aside from the mentioned keyboard, the Nokia 5730 XpressMusic also sports a 2-inch QVGA screen, GPS, 128MB of RAM, Bluetooth, 1,000 mAh battery, EDGE data, and a microSD card slot. Symbian S60 3.2 (Feature Pack 2) is running the show.

As for the availability, the 5730 should start hitting European markets in April, when users will be able to grab it for 220 EUR (about $289). Announcement seems imminent…

    I thought all phones have the ability to store music now.
    Maybe I missed it. What’s new about this phone?
