Hmmmm.........stop thinking dear, there is nothing to think much about how i got this thing, its my gift to me, simple! Really, i still dont require any affair (with girl) to own this.

Finally i will tell vot i have got. Its my first Communication-Cum-Multimedia Device. Nokia 5130-c Xpress music!

U are on the way to xplore this device with me................

One word description about the device is - 'GREAT!'

Lets check out the aesthetics of the device before becoming tech savvy. The device has a CandyBar shape with glossy finish. Sleek design of the phone is astonishing. 3x4 keypad is quite roomy, headed with square navigation button which is bit raised then other keys. Well no more words can describe better then in pics, vot say?

 

 

And the most beautiful part of the phone, eye candy design with loud noise............

Talking about the Features and Specifications which i found interesting after USING it.

• Its Price! - 5400 INR only. (Best Value for money in its class)
  
• Battery Performance - Personal rating 4.5/5. 1020 mAh capacity. Personal Experience Talktime : 5 hrs, Music Playback : 10 hrs, Video Playback : 3 hrs. This is mainly dependent of the kind of personal use of the device feature. Overall performance of battery is rewarding.

• Micro SD Card Slot - Smallest available memory gadget available in market & u get 1GB card Free.
• Screen Size - 2 inch full dispaly with max. 256k colour. Its brillant and smart.
• Speaker - Personal rating would be 4/5. (Loudness, Clarity, Design, Working) Only thing annoying is the placement of speaker. In the ideal rest position i.e. screen facing up, speaker is left behind affecting the loudness during its working (ringing, music playing etc..) The external design of speaker is my personal favorite.
  
• Software/OS - Symbian 40 series phone software is worth best for user interface. Supports almost all required softwares/applications and almost all file formats for daily use. eg. Dictionary, Games, Mobile Office etc..

Videography is also supported with 2 screen sizes (max. 176x144 pixels) upto 15 fps (frames per second, its describes the motion capturing rate by device).

 DRAWBACKS/ Lacking Features:

• No Dedicated Key for Camera - May be because its a Music Phone and no more space available to add a button.
• Video Playback - As such it internal memory is 30 MB (incl. of  Preloaded Content), but while playing video file larger than 18 MB would give a creeping breaks, while is annoying. This is my personal experience.
• Keypad Design - This is personally concerned. i find it quite slippery due to plastic finish, otherwise quite roomy.
