    The Nokia 5300 XpressMusic may look quite funky and have decent music features, but it's let down by a relatively poor camera and short battery life. Read more

    • Funky design, Easy to use, Good music features
    • Poor camera, Below par battery life, Awful headphones

    A rounded music phone with youth market appeal. Read more

    • Very compact for a specialist music phone.
    • Niche design appeal and no 3G means slower downloads.

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.
