Music
Sound quality during audio playback and through the stereo loudspeakers is good, but they are less powerful than the 5800´s.You can watch videos using either the Video centre menu or Real Player that both come with the operating system. They handle high bit rate MPEG4 videos with resolution of 640x360 pixels at 30 fps flawlessly. Still, we like Video Centre better, since it sports cooler interface and delivers better looking, more saturated colors.

With the huge number of supported formats you will hardly ever come across an audio file that the phone won't handle. Album art is also supported and if you don't like the default sound of the device you can enhance it by applying one of the five equalizer presets and if they seem insufficient you can create new ones in a matter of seconds.
