14 DAY TRIAL // A new unannounced Nokia smartphone, namely the 5730 XpressMusic, has already made it to the Web, through a lot of photos presenting the device. The Nokia 5730 XpressMusic is a candybar mobile phone that seems to include a slide-out QWERTY keyboard that complements the handset's standard numeric keypad.
According to the news, the Nokia 5730 XpressMusic will include the company's S60 3rd Edition with the Feature Pack 2 user interface, but it will also sport a range of new special software features as well.

The handset comes with a 3.2-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss lens, autofocus and LED flash and features a 2-inch QVGA display that delivers a 240x320 pixel resolution and offers 16 million colors. The vibrant display changes its layout to landscape as soon as the QWERTY keyboard slides out, and the slider is reported to be able do so with great ease.
On the edge of the phone we can also find a 3.5mm audio jack, a microSD memory card slot that seems to support even 32GB cards, as well as a microUSB socket. The Nokia 5730 XpressMusic also comes with a sizable navigation cluster that features medium-sized, yet soft-to-press buttons.
