Beyond music features, the 5630 additionally includes Nokia's Contacts Bar, which enables direct access to up to 20 friends or associates from the homescreen and provides a complete communication history with these contacts including recent emails, messages, phone logs and photos shared. A related shortcuts bar at the bottom of the homescreen allows speedy access to frequently-used applications including music, radio, the web and photos, as well as Nokia's N-Gage mobile gaming service.
