As the name suggests, the Nokia 5500 sports has been launched with the view to appease the heavy-duty sports enthusiast. It facilitates for monitoring of sporting activities and one can also download some special software to analyse data gathered by the phone. Nonetheless the phone does not really qualify to satisfy the die-hard sporting people. It is more apt for the mildly energetic, for whom this phone can be a good starting point.
The Nokia 5500 sport is a compact handset that is enabled to record and monitor the exercising activities. To that end, the handset is wrapped with water proof, dust proof and shock proof casing (so that it does not get spoiled when you are swimming, or sweating). The front section of the handset is made largely of rubber and the keys are built into this rather than being separate. The Call and End keys are fitted stylishly into the make of the handset.
The screen is tiny at just 30mm square. For sporting purposes it does not face a problem, as the software that's dedicated to sports uses large fonts (making reading experience, just fine). But in case you desire to browse the net and read web pages, the screen might pose some problems. And to make music your companion, whilst you are exercising, the Nokia 5500 sports includes a button on the upper-right edge of the casing that switches between the built-in music player, the training software and the handset's today screen.
The software of Nokia 5500 sports seems pretty decent. It is preset for many activities like walking, running, cycling, rowing and stair stepping etc. Once you have displayed your age, height and weight, it can work out calories burned. Plus, there is software on the phone that can generate fitness programmes based on your preferred activity and goals
A full fledged smart phone, the Nokia 5500 sports runs on Symbian S60 3rd edition. It offers tri-band connection, EDGE, GPRS, 8MB of built-in memory, 2 MP camera, and many lifestyle features.
