If you know and love symbian then go for it . Otherwise get a newer xpressmusic phone. They all have good sound quality.
5700 have exceptional speaker clarity though

i bought it for 5k...wit some bugs though wich i realised later...but they m ready 2 tackle as they aint that big issues....its like battery life is not that good...lasts fr a day whr it shud b for abt 1nhalf to 2 days...

2ndly its cam is not dat good....compared 2 latest xm phones.. esp at night or dark...though its got cam 2mp wit flash....u need 2 take a close up 2 snap at nite using flash else hv 2 use night mode....if u want i can send some sample pictures frm it...lemme know.

its bulky is the last cons...apart from these....it has 3G, loud n clear speakers(double), 3D sound feature,good looks wit twistable keypad...good screen clarity, symbian, n its working speed despite being symbian is unbelievable....at full load works like a simple color phone....sound at headphones is good if u prefer a better earphone than wat its providing....it ships wit a music controller wit 3.5mm headset jack output...can use any earphn on dat....i use walkman series n sounds good....

lemme know if any other querry!

Enjoy~!

It's a good phone, been using it for more than an year now & I am really satisfied with it.
You should definitely go for it, if you can get it for around 5-6K.

@speedyguy - Yup, the camera is pathetic at night time. At daytime too is just average, nothing more. Actually you need proper lighting if you need to take some snaps without grain. Battery backup, I found it to last for 2 days on normal usage. With heavy GPRS, it lasts for about a day.
