Nokia 5235 Comes With Musi review
Network and connections
Nokia offers a touch handheld with musical attitudes. A truly complete phone in every aspect, able to compete without compromise with the top models from other manufacturers. The reception system is a GSM Quadband, which offers absolutely excellent coverage anywhere in the world. It is also able to operate in Dual Mode, so as to also take advantage of UMTS support. As for wireless, Bluetooth is handy for exchanging files with other devices. It is also possible to browse the Web quickly, thanks to HSDPA support for data traffic and the HTML browser. It is also possible to sync directly to a PC via USB 2.0 cable.
Design and features
The design is decidedly eye-catching, one-piece all-screen. The edges are rounded to give a more secure and comfortable grip. The lines are simple and essential, but manage to give an appreciable elegance. The top part is practically occupied solely by the screen, a 3.2-inch Widescreen 16:9 TFT, capable of displaying up to 16 million colors; the images are absolutely bright and sharp. It is also equipped with Resistive Touch Screen technology. The dimensions are fairly in line with competing devices, although perhaps the thickness could have been reduced a bit; indeed, we're talking about 115 grams for the weight and 15.5 mm for the thickness.
