The US might soon get a new Nokia Xpress Music handset, namely the XpressMusic 5320, as the phone was recently approved by the FCC. If Nokia indeed plans to release the 5320 in the States, it would be the second XpressMusic to be available this year for North American users, after the 5310, which was launched by both T-Mobile in the US and Rogers in Canada.
Until now, Nokia announced the availability of 5320 only for Europe and Latin America, hence North America is not yet in the Finnish company's plans when it comes to the new XpressMusic handset. Still, US users should expect the phone to get a release stateside too, especially since the FCC has approved the handset.
Presented by Nokia back in April, together with the weird-looking 5220 model, XpressMusic 5320 has two versions: an HSDPA 900 / 2100 MHz one and an HSDPA 850 / 1900 MHz one. Obviously, the FCC approved the latter, as it's the only one that can work on the North American 3G networks.
Although not as slims as the 5310 (which measures only 9.9 millimeters in thickness), the 5320 is still a nice-looking and well-proportioned phone. At 108 x 46 x 15 millimeters (4.25 x 1.81 x 0.59 inches), the candybar brings the following features: dedicated XpressMusic keys, Music player (MP3, M4A, WMA and eAAC supported), stereo FM radio with RDS, a 3.5mm audio jack, a "Say and Play" application that enables users to simply say the name of a song out loud in order for it to be played, a 2 inch TTF display with 240 x 320 pixels and 16 million colors, Bluetooth 2.0, email and Web capabilities, a 2 Megapixel camera with flash, a secondary camera for video calls, a Symbian S60 UI and 140MB of built-in memory that can be expanded up to 8GB (at least a 512MB card should be included when you buy the handset).
If it is indeed to be released in the US, the XpressMusic 5320 should have a retail price similar to the one from Europe (about $350).
