Although has been launched in November 2008, Nokia 5130 XpressMusic is a model I really want to review. Why? Because is a model that almost everybody afford it with basic features for a mobile phone.

- The phone comes with a TFT display of QVGA resolution having 2″ and 256k colors.
- The dimensions are 107.5 x 46.7, 14.8 mm thickness  and weights just 88 grams.
- Supports microSD cards up to 16GB(and 1GB card is included)
5130 comes with a 2 megapixel camera with no flash or autofocus options.
- Best audio quality ever achieved by Nokia is on this phone.
- Connectivity Options available: GPRS, EDGE, Bluetooth 2.00 and microUSB.
- The 1020 mAh Battery last close to 288 h in stand by, 6 h in talk time and 21 h in Music Play.

I took a shot and analyze top features available on this phone and as might observe this phone has some bad sides: no infrared, poor camera, no 3G connectivity option, no stereo loudspeakers .

For me, I say this phone is perfect as it offer me the option to talk, listen music and has a long battery life, because I don’t wanna carry a huge gadget that has-it-all and stays all day recharging.

The phone is available in stores since February 2009 with an estimated price near 120$.

His stereo speakers are able to output a surprising high volume, though the sound quality is best at half-volume. Sound quality is very good, though, as ever, you’ll need to replace the in-box headphones to make the most of it.

I say this is an interesting phone for those who can afford it. It’s say the battery last up to 406 hours in Stand-by and up to 8-9h in Talk-time. If you wanna use it in Music Mode don’t forget the battery will only last for up to 35hours. It can support media files such as MP3/WMA/WAV/eAAC or MPEG4/WMV/3gp. I don’t wanna upload you with full details about this phone because you decide if you like it or not. Ah not to forget, the model comes with 2 colors Black or Silver.

What do you think, can this model break Apple’s iPhone?!
