Nokia’s latest feature phones are a blast from the past with some modern twists. There is the redesigned Nokia 8210 4G which introduces 4G in 1999 Nokia 8210 as well as the Nokia 2660 Flip which offers a familiar experience and large tactile buttons. Nokia is also honoring the XpressMusic line with the Nokia 5710 XpressAudio – a candy bar handset with built-in wireless earbuds.
Nokia 5710 XpressAudio is the most exciting offering of the bunch thanks to its built-in wireless earbuds. The back of the phone features a sliding mechanism that houses the buttons and charges them when not in use. You can use the earbuds to listen to music stored on the device (up to 32 GB storage space via the microSD slot) or FM radio and you can also connect them to any other device such as a smartphone or tablet. The phone also has a headphone jack if you prefer that route.

Nokia 5710 comes in white/red and black/red colours, with the earbuds matching the primary color of the phone.
