    people buy 5630 or 5730 because they need a keypad. if i had the money i would actually go for 5630, it has wifi, keypad, and a decent music player… similar to 5800 but i’m just not into touch screen.

  10. Gravatar Icon kwhengce replied on Aug 19th, 2009 at 6:28 pm (10)

    i’d rather go for 5800, we are now in touchscreen mobile generation. :-)

  11. Gravatar Icon Raven replied on Aug 19th, 2009 at 7:33 pm (11)

    May virtual keypad ang 5800xm db? S0 y0u’ll just have t0 deal with resp0nsiveness and i think,with the firmware updates available, fluidity is n0t an issue anym0re.

    But if i have 2 ch00se between the 2, i’ll g0 f0r 5630…ive seen the review in gsmarena and it sc0res high in 0verall perf0rmance.

  12. Gravatar Icon DBB replied on Aug 19th, 2009 at 8:24 pm (12)

    5730 I like more than the 5800. I don’t like resistive touchscreens.

    are these two phones s40 or s60?

  13. Gravatar Icon cmark replied on Aug 19th, 2009 at 8:35 pm (13)

    i had the 5630 for four days now. i bought it for 12,750 in nokia sm megamall.

    good things: homescreen, wifi, usb charging, keypad, slim and fits/weighs right on my hand

    bad stuff: camera is no good, pictures are dark even with night mode flash ( my old 6120 classic captures better pics),battery is weak, no free (not trial) games for n-gage, loudspeakers are placed on the back so if device is placed on a soft surface like a bed, the ringtone/music/alarm will be diminished.

  14. Gravatar Icon cmark replied on Aug 19th, 2009 at 8:45 pm (14)

    just to add on the bad stuff: memory card and sim card are impossible to remove on bare finger/s and i don’t know if it’s my itech bluetooth headset but everytime i disconnect the phone from the bluetooth connection and then reconnect it later, it will reconnect but no sound will come out from the headset but it indicates that it’s connected. so i need to restart my phone or delete the bluetooth headset from the list an then re-pair it to the BT headset, it works again but that does not happen with my old 6120.

    At those prices, it’s a really nice bargain. Wonder how the competition will respond?

  16. Gravatar Icon agentorenz replied on Aug 19th, 2009 at 11:02 pm (16)

    5800xm pa rin ako. redundant naman. may qwerty keyboard na, may keypad pa. Mas maganda pa din ang touchscreen sa browsing.

  17. Gravatar Icon irv replied on Aug 19th, 2009 at 11:21 pm (17)

    do they use a standard 3.5mm audio port?

    Nokia 5630 is the best phone to buy.

    Why?

    Because Nokia 5630 XpressMusic has a Symbian S60 operating system. Meaning its different from its other siblings like Nokia 5220, 5310, 5610, and 5130.

    Nokia 5630 is priced around Php 11,000 to 12,000. Its a value for money phone because Symbian S60 phones are usually expensive.

    Symbian S60 operating system is normally found on Nokia N and E series phones. S60 is the operating system of the popular Nokia 5800 XpressMusic.

    parang halos lahat cla pareho in features. sa design ng phone lang hindi magkapareho. Ang pagkakaiba lang nila sa 5800 ay hindi touchscreen ang 5730 at 5630. Sa video recording mas maganda ang 5800 in terms of fps. Qng manunuod ng movies/tv shows maganda xmpre sa 5800 kasi 3.2″ ang screen.Sa battery life panalo ang 5800 dito.

  29. Gravatar Icon sanctuarius replied on Oct 11th, 2009 at 9:20 pm (29)

    bought 5730 about 4 hours ago, transferred my contacts and calendar from my old 6131. left the phone and had dinner. when i came back, phone was turned off and wouldn’t turn on.

    plugged it in the wall charger it came with. not charging. left it plugged for 2 hours. still not charging and not turning on.

    i’m bringing it back to the shop tomorrow. this is so disappointing.
