Mild Nokia XpressMusic 5700 upgrade in the works?

by Chris Ziegler, posted Oct 15th 2007 at 10:50AM

Nokia's unusual line of twisty XpressMusic devices must be doing alright in the marketplace because 163.com has a rather convincing series of pictures suggesting that the 5700 -- the series' current flagship -- is about to get tweaked. The headliner here is the bump from a 2 megapixel camera to a 3.2 megapixel autofocus deal; the additional 1.2 megapixels of resolution alone probably isn't a good enough reason to dump your 5700 and upgrade, but autofocus tends to make a pretty significant difference in shot quality. Other changes seem to include some ultra-minor cosmetic updates and a re-upped microSD slot capable of supporting cards up to 4GB. Legit? Not necessarily, but would anyone seriously bother to fake up this many shots?

There's also a rumor that this thing will have GPS

I don't understand why "music" phones are still using microSD. A regular SD card wouldn't make any device that much bigger but you could actually get a decent amount of data onto it.
