No distractions here

Nokia

No annoying apps, battery for weeks, and built-in wireless earbuds!

Why can’t all phones be like this?

ButNokia’s 5710 XpressAudiois lame in name only.

The new Nokia bar phone.

It’s the candy bar phone for people who hate smartphones.

These earbuds are quite unique with active noise cancellation.

[and] the design is just awesome.

This thing is just 74.99 (69, or $69.99).

OK, thats two incredible parts: the price, and the built-in wireless earbuds.

Three, if you count the super cool red and white color scheme.

Four, if you count the 20-day standby battery life.

Yes, standby time.

App-Less, or App Free?

And as we know, those computers run countless apps.

The human problem is that those apps can be endless distractions and time wasters.

Cameras have knobs and dials to change options without looking or thinking.

MP3 players have play and skip buttons that can be found by feel in a pocket.

“It’s interesting to see that there are still companies out there making phones like this.

Listening In

This Nokia is built for talking and listening.

The 5710 XpressAudio is way more focussed on audio.

This means that it has dedicated buttons along the side for play/pause and skipping forwards and back.

But thats kind of the point.

Once you leave the house, you have what you have, with no option for anything more.

The biggest disappointment of this super-cool-handset might be that it is too cheap.

After all, how good can those wireless earbuds be in a $70 handset?

It would be nice to see a premium version that sounded great but stayed just as simple.

But really, at this price, which cares?

Were just glad that Nokia is not only still making them but still making themcool.
