Nokia 5610 XpressMusic and Nokia 5310 XpressMusic will be available from now on in India as well. With this, the handset producer makes a strong push on the market, as it already has the leading position.

The Indian market keeps receiving a great number of evolved music phones. Nokia's latest releases in this line of devices will also be out in stores, ready to start playing Indian music as well. Both mobile phones have been unveiled this summer and are already available at this time in other countries as well.

Nokia 5610 XpressMusic is a sporty looking slider that brings entertainment through an MP3 player and an FM radio as well. Interestingly enough, the phone also packs a 3-megapixel camera with autofocus and flash, which is supposed to bring captures at a quality above average. It also includes 3G technology with transfer speeds of up to 384 kbps and also has a secondary camera for placing video calls. It looks like a device that manages to score at almost all chapters and bring full telecom and entertainment solutions to its user.

Nokia 5310 XpressMusic, on the other hand, is a candybar that comes with side-dedicated buttons for managing the playlist. This makes it possible to change songs without taking the phone out of the pocket and, most important, without having to browse through its menu.

This time, it's a less evolved device that manages to pack only a 2-megapixel camera and no 3G technology, not even that with smaller transfer speeds. The handset does have something special, which might even make some people choose it over its more powerful brother. At 9.9 mm in thickness, the phone went below the 10 mm borderline and made it in the list of the slimmest and most fashionable handsets out there.

Nokia 5610 XpressMusic will come at the price of Rs. 15,400 (about USD 390), while Nokia 5310 XpressMusic will be slightly cheaper, at Rs. 12,500 (about USD 310).
