Facilities: Plenty of space for lots of content
Even when users are sensitive 5730 XpressMusic have been looking for equipment to detect vulnerabilities. We have not found any case.

Using changeable environment profiles and shortcuts you can use the mobile phone to suit your needs trimming. Also, the startup screen and the menu can be selected according to your design taste.

The quad-band mobile phone not only supports UMTS with HSDPA phase II (3.6 mbps), but also links up via WLAN to the network. Not for EDGE is also available. Only HSUPA is missing on the equipment list. Flash pages? For the integrated browser no problem.
Memory:
The 5730 XM comes with 8 GB large memory card with around 7 GB internal memory included free. If that’s not enough, microSD cards can be up to a maximum of 16 GByte .
Multimedia:
The focus is on the music player, which is no mistake in the test allows. The brand-new voice control Say and Play works better than, for example, the Apple iPhone.
Music
The extensively equipped Player plays all common formats, sorting songs according to different criteria and the display shows the album cover as well as other information about the currently played track. Even at an equalizer with presets Nokia has thought. In addition to the 5-way cross-control with special keys on the bottom of the screen sit, the song playback. In addition, sit at the left edge of the display will test the player with the included, very good seat endene in-ear headphones a lot of depth, but also clear highs to the eardrum. At the jack can be commercially available headsets connect. Without a speaker, there’s the usual blechigen sound, which for the small mobile sound body is completely normal.
Interesting is the so-called Say and Play feature: If you use the asterisk key longer hold, a tone sounds. Now name the title, artist, album name or song list, the player should be. The voice commands were tested präsise and promptly implemented, much better than the iPhone, for example, 3GS.
Also a FM radio is ready: The search over the Internet quickly and ran smoothly, however, disturbed in operation even with very good reception in the heart of Munich a strong background noise. Alternatively, you can use a noise-free Internet radio access to the data, however, costs are incurred. Last but not least, we still have an FM transmitter is desired.
Camera
The camera feat 3.2 megapixel photos with the best results in optimal light conditions, ie during sunny weather. When is a close-up image noise to detect in artificial light, you can only reasonably sharp snap pictures when the phone on a tripod, table or a wall. Positive fell forward very fast Auslösegeschwindigkeit of about 0.10 seconds.
Navigation
Nokia 5700 uses the XM to its usual strategy: The mobile phone is a navigation solution, even with maps for Germany, Austria and Switzerland. However, Nokia Maps 2.0 (upgradeable to 3.0), including cards only three months to try. Thereafter an annual license costs 70 Euro.
In our test took the first GPS fix approximately 1.5 minutes – that’s fine. The navigation in the car and on foot went well and reliably.
Games
The 5730 comes with the N-Gage gaming platform. Thanks to an accompanying voucher, there’s an N-Gage games for free. More can be used as a test version allude. To keep playing in the mobile phone across zugeschobenen condition. Because as you can with a special Gamer Wipptaste above the display and the 5-way key optimally through the game.
Key Data
112 x 51 x 16 mm – with these dimensions is the phone still quite compact, although quite thick, and finally takes the place full. The housing consists almost entirely of plastic, the pages in the carbon-look make the device look something noble. Our 136 gram heavy testing process is clean, the slider shows minimal game. The battery life of 3 hours and 45 minutes talk time at full output power GSM is still okay, but is significantly lower compared to other Nokia phones like the N97 or 5800 XpressMusic.
Display
The display coincides with a 6.1 inch diagonal size of an average. Brightness and contrast are used by our testers unanimously with “good” rated.
Handling
The newly designed S60 interface is reminiscent of that of the 5800 XM. You can also enter in the standby view “contacts bar” your favorite store contacts, so when making calls or ledges to access it directly. A customizable quick-bar at the bottom of the screen takes you to frequently used programs. Alternatively, you can also use the usual S60 switch views. The main menu is zwölfteilige logical. In some respects, however, branched so that the user loses the overview. So you have to be through five sub-points hangeln until you reach the ringtones teff.
Keyboard:
Convenient and practical: The full extension. The buttons are still big enough to bring a proper pressure point, the columns, however, are susceptible to dirt. A number of missing digits. This is not a tragedy, you need only the corresponding letter button more pressing. The real keypad with extended keyboard is disabled. Apropos: The verdict of the numeric keypad is not quite so positive. Through the painted surface of the keys are slippery, the 5-way key bit spongy. Already after a short use, the shiny buttons smudged with fingerprints.
Acoustics
When Nokia voice quality should again ran on mobile side of the counterpart sounds very dull, in the test were also some noise and dropouts on. After all, the sound quality on the landline much better. The Handsfree hisses and rattle arg, a counter-speech is possible only on mobile.
