TrustedReviews has posted a review of the Nokia 5500 Sports mobile phone here on their site. As the name implies, the Nokia 5500 is a phone designed for the athlete in you – allowing you to keep track of your workout schedules. I’ve seen gym goers out there carrying an MP3 player AND a phone while they work out.. now all you need is a single phone.

High level features of the Nokia 5500 include:

  • Instant swap key – switches between phone, music, and sport modes
  • Stainless steel body
  • Text to speech – read aloud SMS and exercise data
  • Sports tracking – plans, records, and schedules workout sessions
  • Music player

Here are the technical specs of the 5500:

  • Tri-band EGSM/GSM coverage on up to five continents
  • Weight of 103 grams and measures 107 x 45 x 18 mm
  • 262K color 208 x 208 pixel display
  • Four way scroll keys, three soft keys, send, end and character keys
  • 8 MB user memory
  • microSD card
  • 2.0 megapixel digital camera with 4x zoom, self timer and camera modes
  • Video recording and playback
  • Real video player
  • Integrated music player supporting MP3, AAC, eAAC+, and WMA file formats
  • FM stereo radio

Here’s the verdict from TrustedReviews:

The bottom line has to be that if you want to get fit and would like some tech to monitor progress, look elsewhere. The Nokia 5500 simply isn’t accurate enough to help you train seriously and this is why it has scored so low.
