Design
[change | change source]The Nokia 5510 has a design that was unusual compared to its competitors at the time. Instead of the commonly used telephone keypad, the 5510 had an almost complete QWERTY keyboard divided on the left and right sides of the central panel. It also had a 84 x 48 monochrome display and navigational buttons below it, which were almost identical to those found on the Nokia 3310. Additionally, there are 4 black buttons on the side of the 5510 used for quick access to the music player, FM radio, and volume controls. The handset had a removable backplate that was easily cracked from pressure to its center, which many reviewers mentioned at the time of the 5510's release.
The 5510 shared many features with the 3310 due to having the some of the same components, such as a calculator, stopwatch, and a reminder. It also has the same games as the 3310, being Snake II, Space Impact, Bumper, Bantumi, and Pairs II. The 5510 could also play digital music files transferred to its 64MB internal flash memory in Lockstream Embedded (.lse) files converted from MP3 and WAV on Nokia's bundled PC Suite software. Also, the 5510 could record AAC audio directly from its FM radio or the 2.25mm (3⁄32 in) audio jack in another format, .rel, which could only be played back by the phone. It also has an equalizer with several presets.
