The Nokia 5500 Sport features all the technology that every active-minded consumer needs, and is specially designed to withstand the daily rigours of work and work out.

ESATO NEWS

A single button serves to activate three dedicated "modes" a phone mode to stay in touch, the music mode to unwind or power-up, and the sports mode to help you break a sweat. The Nokia 5500 Sport also offers "text-to-speech" technology. Don't take your eyes off the track or that magazine, just tap the Nokia 5500 Sport and the message is read out to you. In sports mode, the Nokia 5500 Sport reads the status of your workout, allowing you to stay focused on the task, or the excercise, at hand.

When music is on your mind, the Nokia 5500 Sport gives you a jump start. Supporting a multitude of different digital music formats and memory cards of up to 1GB (microSD), the Nokia 5500 Sport can hold approximately 750 songs. With your music collection in hand, every activity has its own soundtrack!

Switched into sports mode, the Nokia 5500 Sport helps you keep track of work or your work-out. The integrated pedometer feature serves to monitor distance walked or calories burnt -during a busy day in the city or that breathtaking cardio session. For extra durability, the Nokia 5500 Sport features an ergonomic stainless steel casing, complemented by a splash and dust resistant shell and rubber grips.The sleek Nokia 5500 Sport is engineered with materials used in the latest high performance running shoes which make it look good on and off the court.

The triband Nokia 5500 Sport (GSM 900/1800/1900) is scheduled to sprint into stores during the summer (3rd quarter) of 2006 and is expected to retail for around 300 EUR before taxes and subsidies.

Now that sounds like one very cool phone. Has everything I need being an active person and all. I cant take my ipod jogging with me and my D750 I only use for the radio so I guess this is what I have been missing. Any news on what networks it will be on?
This whole phenomena is a mystery, wrapped in an enigma, wrapped in a government agenda.

Very nice, if only the design was more of an N-Series 5100.

Zexy!!! A 5210/5110/5140 successor. Personally I liked only the 5210 of the lot. And the features are rocking too....This's one Nokia which I won't think twice before buying (as a second phone, of course...!)

I agree, the black&white version looks too korean - simply doesn't gel with the "sport" theme. I'll take the Grey/Yellow one happily!

[Edit] Must say, that's the smallest screen I seen in any symbian machine till date!
