Nokia 5630 XpressMusic

Listen to article

Nintendo Direct to unveil Switch 2 games for second half of 2026 iOS 27 Beta Is Out, But You'll Need to Join a Waitlist to Try the New Siri AI Everything Apple Announced at WWDC 2026 Image Playground, Photo Spacial Reframe and New Editing Tools in iOS 27 Apple Puts a Siri Camera Mode on iPhone, Visual Intelligence Across All Platforms

Almost all of the earlier XpressMusic phones from Nokia (except the 5800) were just made for better music playback and nothing more. The Nokia 5630 changes all that and promises to be an NGage gaming unit as well.

nokia 5630

2.2 inches (240×320 pixels)
150 MB shared memory
up to 16GB via microSD (4GB included in package)
ARM 11 600 MHz CPU
3G/HSDPA, 10.2 Mbps
Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g
Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP
3.15 MP, 2048Ã—1536 pixels, autofocus, video, flash
front-facing camera for video calls
Stereo FM radio with RDS
3.5 mm AV jack

It has a fairly fast CPU with the ARM 11 600MHz so it would be interesting how it fairs with the more power-hungry Nokia NGage games. I’m wondering why Nokia didn’t use the same CPU on the Nokia 5800 (which only had 369MHz).

Nokia is adding phone-charging via USB port. Estimated retail price will be $260. I will be in Singapore next week to cover Nokia’s unveiling of several new phone models. It might include this one and a few others.

Nasa 9,800 na lang sya sigurado ngayon dito sa Cabanatuan, hehe. Sana autofocus man lang yung cam nito at 2.4 inch ang screen, pagpapalit ko na 5800 ko dito. Pero I’m pretty satisfied with my 5800 XM! LOL! Di nakakaduling ang screen kesa sa 5630 na maliit. However this phone surely beats the 5800 in the price category!

Nokia 5630 is my second choice due to its lightning fast 10Mbps HSDPA and 2 Mbps HSUPA. Good for unlimited data (internet) plans sa mobile phones. Sawa-sawa ka sa youtube at downloads tsaka pag nakatira ka sa may 3G coverage.

Last update is Php10,500 na lng. ayos to. hindi masyadong lapitin sa mata ng holdapers. basic design just like another classic nokia phones.

pupchy · 16 years ago

meron na nitong 9.9k at 10k sa megamall (5th ave and topnet respectively) pag cash ha. not sure pag card. hehehe

How’s the battery life of this EM 5630? I hope it lasts longer than the Nokia6300, with the same screen. Nokia should have made the battery at least 1200 or 1000 maH. With all the power hungry connectivity features of this phone with a 16M color screen, I believe the battery will only last for several hours.

If I will buy this phone (I will surely do!), I will also buy an extra battery with an independent charger. LOL!

brianne · 17 years ago

11k? where did you buy it?

mon · 17 years ago

jazzper · 17 years ago

Guys, i just want to ask when will be the released date of this phone here in the Philippines? And how much will it cost?

melanie · 17 years ago

july daw po ang labas nila nito pero wala pa silang prize base sa mga nakita ko pinakamahal na ang 14k

melanie · 17 years ago

hi po meron na po ba nito sa philippines mag ka nu po kaya toh pg dati dito thanks

sagare · 17 years ago

when will it be released in the philippines?

jan · 17 years ago

kelan po ang labas niyan sa mga stores?

sky · 17 years ago

If this is competitively priced, like let’s say below 15k, I’d say this’ll be a hit, much like the 5310. Even though this is S60, has WiFi, etc.

daRkbox · 17 years ago

wow waiting for this one heheh.. nice..

techfreak08 · 17 years ago

wow!! i like this phone!! im wondering if this beats the nokia 5800 xpressmusic in terms of functionality…can anyone tell me when will this be available here? and for how much it is really? thnx!!:)

madzman23 · 17 years ago

@lexx
They’ll be releasing the N97. It is a touchscreen phone with qwerty keyboard, it will compete with the Xperia and iPhone etc.

Jam · 17 years ago

If I’m going to change my phone, I’d choose a Nokia XpressMusic phone like this one.

lexx · 17 years ago

not touch screen huh? I was hoping nokia would make progressive enhancements to their symbian 5th.

BrianB · 17 years ago

I wonder why they haven’t released a touchscreen Nseries yet.

TC · 17 years ago

sana gnawang 2.4in
no accelerometer for autorotation

seoulbox · 17 years ago

I doubt it nokia will let it on 12K range.

wh@ · 17 years ago

wee… nice phone from nokia.if its cost 260 USD and the prevailing exchange rate is 47 pesosit will be 12+++. that will be a great prices.. pwedeng masa

madzman23 · 17 years ago

Yeah, the screen is small.
I think it is not an ideal gaming fone.
They should make more advance but the Ngage style should stay. I like the N-Gage style before.
