Nokia 5130 XpressMusic

Do you have a 5130XM? Do you love it or hate it? Please share.

I just discovered another neat thing the 5130XM does after I had to charge it for the first time

Thats the first time I see a phone telling me to please unplug the charger

Haha, I am sure Eskom made them do it!

I have one it's quite nice. Only thing that annoys me is that one can't search the music. I bought an 8gig card so to have to scroll through all the artists is rather tedious. I would also like to be able to import my playlists from iTunes.

Makes sense - I wondered why they were selling a phone this good for R1350...
I guess the Eskom rates increases we hear about is to subsidize power saving message in all 11 official languages on handsets that does not charge via USB

The camera is OK if you reduce the images down my 50% or more : http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php?p=2863068

The sound is excellent but after using the N-series music player I do find the lack of a quick filter feature absolutely crappy. Another thing is that this phone is really very slow for a ARM 233Mhz. I have those fancy menu effects on and if you are playing music they are not so smooth anymore. Active standby screen would have been nice too. But the biggest thing is the music players lack of a quick filter - come on Nokia - this thing wears the XpressMusic tag. Lets hope that gets added in a firmware update soon.

Yes please it's really annoying.

Quite a nice little phone. I mean the charger is Energy Star rated already, but it's good that they included a reminder. Dad got the phone on contract recently and the sound quality rocks.

Only one problem, and this is not Nokia's fault - I can't find a damn BodyGlove/Capdase pouch for the phone anywhere. I know it's new on the market, but come on...
