Nokia 5500 Sport

The Nokia 5500 Sport is good phone pity about the charging unit and socket!!!

I purchased this phone after a great deal of research and comparison. I've found everything i wanted.

1. Two megapixel camera

2. Handy in size

3. Sporty in looks

4. Flashy in terms of colored lights

5. Extraordinary music player

6. Sports mode/exercise monitoring function

7. Series 60 platform on which you can install further applications

8. Damp proofing and steel body

I remained very delighted for first three months after that following problems occurred

- Rubber grip of battery cover stopped clipping into the groves of casing

- Keypad detached (I put many adhesives to rejoin it but failed)

- I failed in finding a new keypad, even Nokia's service center representatives failed to solve my problem.

(BAD BAD NAME FOR NOKIA)

I am extremely dissatisfied and don't want to recommend this phone to any one unless you've extra casing to replace after 3 months use.

The 5500 Sport has everything you could possibly want that I'm aware of in a phone. MP3, series 60, Bluetooth, 2mp camera, 64 mb card included, sports mode with pedometer and calories burned info, tap controls which I've not seen on any other phone and its utterly indestructible.

I can not think of a reason not to buy this phone. It is flawless.

Phones lately seem to break much more easily then before, something falls off, screen cracks, etc., but the Nokia 5500 Sport, with its tough stainless steel body and splash and dust protectors on the inside plus rubber grips, makes the 5500 much tougher then other mobiles. I mean let's face it, everyone splashes something on their phone at some stage in their life. The 5500 incorporates many features as listed above, to mention but a few : MP3/AAC and an MPEG4 player with radio and to help with your training a stopwatch, pedometer, tells you calories burned and of course steps taking, distance covered, speed, and if you have trouble reading a text on the go, Nokia included a Text-2-Speech program. Nokia have thought of nearly everything, but wait, there's more for the exercise lover:

Tapping command or timed voice feedback of tracking data - enables real time tracking information without watching display

Diary - exercise records and planning and fitness coach program

Fitness Tests - Coopers test, biking test
