The musical part is well done (the mobile even comes with a pair of small loudspeakers which is a very nice idea in theory but nothing very practical in everyday use) and I can't help but appreciate the handy controls on the outside. The screen is just the right size to use the internet and the connection is just OK to suit my needs that is checking information such as weather, movies, rates of exchange etc. There is also a camera - good enough to take pictures which will show on the screen to let you know who is calling and snapshots but their quality is only a little above acceptable so don't throw away your camera before you check it out thoroughly - and a radio, a nice addition (headphones, naturally included) although you should be prepared to recharge the battery quite often if you're addicted to listening all the time. 5310 is no exception to this rule. It's hard to get anything better for the money. I wouldn't recommend it, however, for reading long newspaper articles, however, the letters are a little to small.
In short - if you're shopping for small, sleek, light mobile phone with all the basic functions plus some added musical ones, this is your perfect choice. I have been true to Nokias ever since I started using mobiles and every time I get a new one I am pleasantly surprised. 5310 offers everything I expect from a Nokia - sleek design (slim and fairly light), nice colours (nothing too flashy), sturdy materials and easy to operate software. This Nokia basically made my ipod a fashion accessory - why carry a mobile and an ipod if mobile offers most of ipod's functions.
I was unable to do this with both the Moto Razr's I had. I'm very satisfied with my Nokia Xpress Music. The 1 GB storage is more than enough for me, but you can easily add more with the MicroSD card. I like the improved alarms. It doesn't have GPS and I can't watch TV, but I also didn't want to spend the extra money for the iPhone.
It seems to be much more durable than the two Moto Razr's I had previously. My favorite feature is being able to use any music file as a ring tone or alarm. I can transfer any of my MP3s to my phone over USB. I don't see any reason not to recommend this phone to anyone, it is very durable (I'm an avid rock climber) and its battery lasts about a week per charge depending on use (I talk about 3k minutes per month). I've had this phone for a while now and have been very pleased.
I have my M-F alarm which lets me sleep in on weekends, reminders for my weekly and monthly appointments, and more. This phone has actually replaced my iPod now.
As for the phone alone, nokia made sweet I loved it, its worth the money but be very careful. I never had problems with cell phones so i thought warranty is no big deal but it is. I strongly advise you guys not to buy this phone without warranty. Since i got this phone my battery was getting worse and worse utill it wouldnt hold power for even whole day. I paid almost $300 for garbage even new battery didnt help.
About the size of a fingernail. The screen acts as a view finder, of course. Sure, it's no iPhone, but if you want something that got just about as many bells and whistles for a little less money, you want this phone. When I bought the phone it came with the USB cable I mentioned earlier, as well as a stereo hands-free headset with a detachable mic, and, joy of joys, a 1 gigabyte memory card. That's a really nice thing to have. There's a nifty little mini-USB port you can use to move your files to a computer (assuming you have a cable.
There's also four different levels of zoom and several different video effects (like black and white, negative, false color, etc). The display is bright and vibrant. If you have T-Mobile service with this phone, you'll find it can handle the My Favorites plan just fine, with nice little icons and customizable options fo each person. The system also comes with a few game demos, none of which are particularly memorable.
Well, this phone doesn't disapoint. Thankfully the phone comes with one). There's external music controls and an external volume control. You can turn it up loud enough to annoy the people next door if you really try. The 5130 is available in purple, orange, red and blue (I own the purple).
Ah, but you want to know about the biggie, right. Tiny card, too. You want to know all about the music capability. The buttons are raised up just a bit. I have a neat little set I got on a Delta flight, and they work just fine. It can also function as a video camera, doing both sound and image.
Overall there's no real reason not to recommend this phone. I've got quite a bit of music on mine and it isn't even close to being filled. It's very thin and small, but fits easily in the palm of your hand and doesn't give the impression it's going to fall apart if you look at it cross-eyed. The phone has several nifty features, including a 2 megapixel camera that takes good-to-very-good quality pictures. There's also the usual selection of programs, like a calculator, alarm clock, organizer, etc.
It's worth every penny I paid for it, and that's not something I can often say. It's sleek and stylish, has a great price point, comes with plenty of goodies and plays music very, very well. The Nokia 5310, aka "The Music Xpress", is one nifty little phone. There's no flash or self-portrait mirror, but you can make do. There's also a headphone jack that, thankfully, allows for normal headphones to be used.
its very good, but it has one problem, is not good with the signal service
