T-Mobile gets the smashing Nokia 5160 XpressMusic

While Sidekick Slide fans are out mourning the discontinuation of their messager handheld, T-Mobile are all set to lure music lovers with the all new Nokia 5610 XpressMusic phone. The phone offers instant messaging options like Yahoo!, MSN, and AOL while an FM radio and a super smooth music player with external controls can deliver up to 22 hours of music playback and a memory capacity for up to 3,000 songs via an optional 4GB microSD card. A built-in 3.2 Megapixel camera further ups the yum value of the phone which is being offered in color options of red and white. The slider features aluminum side panels and a 2.2-inch color display along with stereo Bluetooth wireless, picture messaging and speaker phone functions.

T-Mobile have set the suggested retail price for the phone at $229.99 but with an instant discount of $80 and a mail-in rebate of $50, the delicious phone would cost you a mere $99.99.
