Almost a year ago, Nokia released two new Xpress Music phones, the 5610 and the Nokia 5310. Though we only got a few minutes to play with them at the time, we were excited to see both handsets since we had such a good experience with Nokia's original Xpress Music model, the 5300. T-Mobile quickly emerged as the rumored carrier for both models, but the company took its time in adding the phones to its lineup. But now that it's finally happened, we're happy to report that our original instincts were correct. Like the 5310, which we reviewed in May, the 5610 has a well-stocked music player and quality performance. Yet it shows up its sibling by offering a higher-resolution camera and world phone support in a flashier slider design. Though its navigation array could use a slight tweak, the 5610 is a nice alternative for music phone fans who can't handle the quirky controls on the Motorola Rokr E8. You can get it for a very reasonable $99 with service. General
