Our upcoming article will be entirely devoted to Nokia 5610 XpressMusic, summing facts up that one is very close to 6500 classic, while Nokia 5610 XpressMusic is designed after Noki 6500 slide. Such an expansion of the company's portfolio is extremely profitable, the developers only need to introduce a few changes to an existing concept proven by time, which means much lower development costs. This both reduces the resulting market price of such models and approximates the release dates.
Player controls
Nokia was the first company to pioneer the usage of dedicated player controls back in times when they were lagging behind SonyEricsson with their Walkman series. Since then Nokia pays a lot of attention to the comfort of player controls, this stands true for music and non-music solutions a like, camera and business phones included. Most model come with additional buttons whose dedicated purpose is that of providing a more straightforward control of player and multimedia elements. It's pretty obvious that pressing a dedicated button is much easier than doing a number of menu manipulations with the regular navigation buttons. All of the Nokia music phones sport dedicated rewinding buttons as well as those performing Play/Pause and player launch functions. The presense of such extra controls is an important factor influencing the consumer's choice in a big way. Another important feature of the dedicated controls is that you can switch between playing tracks without having to quite the menu you're currently in. There are a lot of possible locations used for placing these buttons, varying from the backside of the rotating block or the slide panel to positioning them along the sides of the screen or around the navigation buttons. But one thing that always remains true is that having dedicated controls regardless of their ergonomics and location is much better than having none at all. The MIDP 2.1 update to the Series 40 platform now enables extended usage of the dedicated media controls as supplementary controls in miscellaneous applications like Java applets and games.
