Symbian OS Nokia managed to preinstall in this phone plenty of applications to meet the requirements of sports fans that are at the same time the main customer group Nokia 5500 Sport has been targeted at.
Thanks to using S60 3rd Edition the speed of the menus and applications are good, close to the speed of a normal phone, and greatly improved from the slow days of S60 1st edition phones.
Once again Nokia in its 5500 Sport model offers a special hint for those who enjoy comfort: the synthesizer built in the phone can read received messages for you, if you set it to do so.
The sound quality on calls is good, and the battery life is decent for a smartphone, there are about two or three days of use (including phone, texts, exercise app, email and radio) between charges.
If you use the phone extensively, that is, you make frequent calls, write plenty of SMS, use the radio, the MP3 player or use Bluetooth, you will have to charge Nokia 5500 every second day.
Seems you can do all kinds of things like talk to it, draw pictures of the things you want to search for (interesting possibilities for the more imaginative) and even have tabbed browsing.
If you are to deal with Office documents, you will need to additionally download an appropriate application.
The official name on launch was Galaxy Nexus but it was know prior to launch as Nexus Prime so we just included all the names in the explantion to ensure we confuse everybody.
Setting Wizard is another item you can forget about (even though it can be found in the Instruments folder under Setup Manager) as the phone takes care of everything immediately after the SIM card is inserted for the first time.
Before you start to use the Sport mode you need to set up your own measures in the Sport application, which are then stored under a password so that no one else but you can change them.
Incoming calls are alerted about by a ringtone, vibration, a combination of both, or simply through the blinking of the keypad and the display backlighting according to the presets of the respective ringing profile.
On the other hand Nokia designers deserve an excellent mark for their work on the protection cover of the battery, which is often one of the weakest constructional spots of most mobile devices.
All three functions are traditionally weak spots in Symbian and the Nokia 5500 Sport is no exception to the rule: the font used in the notes is unnecessarily big; voice records have a duration limit of mere one minute.
In the last version of its software package PC Suite Nokia improved the application Music Manager, which deals with music files and creates the base necessary for their comfortable storing in the phone.
Running with the phone placed in your pocket and the music player being on is not recommendable, because playing gets frequently interrupted and reactivated as the body of the phone meets with one's leg.
For our reviews we shoot, download and prepare much more pictures then finally appear in the article.
On the other side, Symbian is not a new OS anymore and it has been some time already since designer fixed their attention on it, that is, every day more and more suitable applications appear on the market.
On the other hand it complicates work with the phone to a certain extent hence it is pretty probable that even the cheapest programs may have to be obtained at a higher price in a result of certificate requirements.
When Nokia 5500 Sport is connected through a cable, it asks you what you intend to use the phone for: for work with PC Suite, for data transfers or for music downloads.
The included free microSD card is 64 megabytes, but you can buy your own microSD cards with up to 2 gigabytes in capacity.
The excellent new S60 HTML browser included with the phone loads most pages quickly and accurately, usually pretty much as they would appear on a PC browser, as the S60 browser is compatible with things like javascript and frames.
Anaglyph 3D, TS Side by Side 3D, TS Top and Bottom 3D, TS Anaglyph 3D, AVI Side by Side 3D, AVI Top and Bottom 3D, AVI Anaglyph 3D, FLV Side by Side 3D, FLV Top and Bottom 3D, FLV Anaglyph 3D.
However, their web site is crisp, fast, looks good and does not have all that glizy stuff that almost every other mobile supplier does and which takes about three hours to load each page.
It has been a while since Nokia began to implement the function Visual Radio into its phones (ignoring the fact that there is not a single radio station in the world that broadcasts visual, except for few experiments).

Bear in mind however that all above mentioned improvements imply one considerable disadvantage: neither Nokia 5500 Sport, nor other smartphones featuring S60 3rd Edition permit the installation of programs originally designed for older mobiles.
The light produced by the LED is not so intensive to show you the road in the middle of the night, but it is sufficient for use in a closed dark space.
