Using an optional 2 GB microSD card, the Nokia 5700 supports up to 1500 tracks that can be enjoyed using Bluetooth stereo headphones, with their own favorite 3.5 mm plug-equipped headphones and the included headset adaptor or through built-in stereo loudspeakers. Loading songs onto the 5700 is fast and easy as consumers can choose from a broad range of supported digital formats, including WMA, MP3, AAC, as well as eAAC+ and MP4. When purchasing music online, shoppers can select from a range of Internet music stores, also those utilizing Windows Media Player Digital Rights management (WMDRM). The optimized music player in the 5700 supports album art, playlists, plus a 5-band equalizer and audio visualizations.

The Nokia 5700 brings videos to life on a vibrant color screen supporting up to 16 million colors for excellent video playback. With 3G high-speed data connectivity, the 5700 makes browsing, downloading and streaming multimedia content more convenient and faster than before. A video call feature and the built-in 2.0-megapixel camera make it easy to share moments with friends and family.

The Nokia 5700 is based on S60 software running on Symbian OS. S60 enables consumers to personalize their device with a wide choice of compatible applications that can be downloaded to the 5700, including games, navigation, entertainment, productivity and creativity.

Combining the benefits of a music-oriented, multipurpose device featuring 3G dataspeeds, the Nokia 5700 is expected to retail for an estimated EUR 350 before taxes and subsidies during the second quarter of 2007.
