The menu of the Nokia 5700 XpressMusic is clear and orderly, like with most Nokias. A short sentence explains what the pictograms mean. Because of this, it immediately becomes clear which functions each pictogram has, when opening the menu. By means of the start screen, the most important functions can be opened, just like we are used to with Nokia. You can quickly access your messages, the phone book, Bluetooth connections, the calendar, downloads, Internet and the multimedia functions. Those who are used to working with a mobile phone will easily find the advanced functions.

The Nokia 5700 possesses an advanced multimedia player. When the buttons are turned in the music position, the telephone looks like a MP3 player and functions in such a way. The music quality through the speakers is extremely good, exactly like it is supposed to be for a music phone. Those who use the speakers of the Nokia 5700 XpressMusic will be amazed by the sound quality.

The battery of the Nokia 5700 XpressMusic is a 3.7 volt 900mAh Nokia BP-5M battery. The Lithium Ion battery is good for 288 hours of stand-by time, and 3.5 hours of conversation time, according to Nokia. I left the Nokia 5700 alone for some time and at the end of the eleventh day the alarm went off, to imply that the battery needed charging. This comes to about 265 hours of stand-by time. After about 2 hours of conversation time, the battery needed re-charging, but I also used the remaining functions of the handset often. It seems like these times are pretty much matching the ones the manufacturer gave us.

The monitor of the Nokia 5700 XpressMusic is a sixteen million color display with a maximum resolution of 240x320 pixels and a surrounding light detector. This means that the Nokia 5700 adapts the clarity of the screen to the lighting situation outside. The colors are clear, on the monitor of the Nokia 5700 XpressMusic everything is reproduced clearly. Viewing a film or images on the Nokia 5700 XpressMovie is a true joy because of the image quality. The monitor of the Nokia 5700 XpressMusic contains a screensaver. After putting the music phone down, the screensaver pops up every now and then.
