Review Summary

The Nokia 5300 is Nokia’s latest music phone that is said to be a small slider that’s compact but packs a punch. This phone is said to come in either red-and-white or black-and-white liveries and both are said to be very stylish. Though smaller in size than the N91, the 5300 still has space for up to 1,500 tracks, providing users have the right memory card as it saves all the music in its microSD memory card.

The Nokia 5300 is Nokia’s latest music phone that is said to be a small slider that’s compact but packs a punch. This phone is said to come in either red-and-white or black-and-white liveries and both are said to be very stylish. Though smaller in size than the N91, the 5300 still has space for up to 1,500 tracks, providing users have the right memory card as it saves all the music in its microSD memory card. Users like the fact that this mobile comes with a 256MB-capacity card but users can choose cards with up to 2GB of space. The Nokia Audio Manager music software is supplied that makes the phone efficient and easy to use, plus, it automatically synchronises the phone’s music with those on your computer. That support also supports a wide range of music formats, from mp3, AAC to Wma tracks. Users have found that with headphones, the music sound way much better than using the external speakers. It sounds even better for users when they found out that with the 5300, an adapter is provided whereby any headphones can be used with it. External buttons are provided much to the pleasure of its users. The Play/Pause, Next and Previous Track raised buttons are simple to use but the same cant be said for its other navigation keys on the handset. This phone will suit those who are probably going to use it for music purposes only.

    The 5310 XpressMusic has a near twin in the lookalike 5610 XpressMusic. That is a bigger phone which takes a slider format and has a higher calibre set of specifications. It may yet get a separate review here. But right now my attention is fully on the 5310 XpressMusic. Read more

    As a phone the Nokia 5300 XpressMusic is rather nice and certainly has plenty of features. It also has some serious plus points as a music player, not least good battery life. But the lack of a 3.5mm headset and the small internal memory let it down. Read more

    I had this phone for about 6 months and was very impressed with how strong it was (i.e. how many times it was dropped or thrown and did not break! However the camera is poor, and he slide mechanism is not as good generally on nokias as samsung's in my opinion. Overall a decent phone that i would recomend for someone who would like to listen to a lot of music on their phone. The battery life on my phone was poor, i think however this was due top a fault on my personal... Read more
