Slashdot: Nokia 5510 - Cell Phone and More Posted by michael on Thursday October 11, @07:45AM from the fumbling-toward-the-perfect-handheld dept. matthew.thompson writes: "Nokia have released a phone to give the RIAA nightmares - it includes built in MP3 playing AND encoding and an FM stereo radio - so you can MP3 up tracks from the Radio or from an external source via a line in jack. It's also got a full qwerty style keyboard and GameBoy Advance style layout. RIAA headache inducing features here and piccies etc here." I'm not quite sure how this works - Nokia's page says the gizmo plays "secure" mp3 files, which sounds to me as if it is crippled. http://www.nokia.com/phones/5510/spotlight_music.html http://www.nokia.com/phones/5510/main_feat.html Play up to two hours of CD-quality music. Record it from the radio, a CD player, an MP3 player, or from another Nokia 5510. Download music files to your Nokia 5510 using the Nokia Audio Manager soft- ware included in the sales package. But no matter where the music comes from, the main thing is where you take it. http://www.nokia.com/phones/5510/specifications.html Digital Music Player: plays secure AAC and MP3 files Digital Music Recorder: records from FM radio or external audio source via line-in cable e.g. from CD player Stereo FM Radio Downloading and managing digital music files with the Nokia Audio Manager 2.0 PC software, included in the sales package WAP over CSD Enhanced messaging capabilities: multiple chat, multiple SMS sending, concatenated messaging New design concept: full keyboard optimized for quick text input for messaging, Games, WAP browsing and other apps 5 games: Bumper, Space Impact, Snake II, Pairs II, and Bantumi
