5.0 out of 5 stars Almost flawless cellphone, July 25, 2008

This review is from: Nokia 5310 XpressMusic Unlocked Phone with 2 MP Camera, MP3/Video Player, MicroSD Slot--U.S. Version with Warranty (Blue) (Wireless Phone Accessory)

The best thing I like about this cellphone is its loudness: built-in speaker is loud and speakerphone is loud. This helps a lot if you're in a noisy restraunt (reason I dumped my old cellphone).
Pluses:
1. Well designed music player UI and dedicated buttons.
2. Loud speaker for playing music.
3. Standard 1/8" mini jack for headphones.
4. Solid buttons, crisp display
5. Very small, stylish
Minuses:
1. Short battery life -- must charge almost every night.
2. Camera is fair in quality.
3. No 3G

4.0 out of 5 stars Nokia 5310 Xpress Music Phone, July 25, 2008

This review is from: Nokia 5310 XpressMusic Unlocked Phone with 2 MP Camera, MP3/Video Player, MicroSD Slot--U.S. Version with Warranty (Blue) (Wireless Phone Accessory)

Pros:
- Phone is compact
- For a small phone has decent MP3 quality
- Clean lines
- Sturdy casing
- Separate ports for charging, USB and earphones
- Call quality seems to be good
- Simple Bluetooth connectivity
- Easy menu interface
- Convenient music player controls
- All necessary accessories (except for a travel charger) are included in the package (along with 2GB Micro SD)
- Seems to retain its charge well (stand-by and talk time)
- Nokia technical support, phone features, and website access to options without nickle-and-diming you really stands out.

Cons:
- Speakerphone could be louder (however new FCC rulings place limitations on US Version phones with this capability so Nokia is simply abiding by the FCC).
- Voice dialing gets it right about 80% of the time.
- Using Nokia PC Sync software may still not allow you to Sync with the phone. Was unable to get this problem resolved.

For the most part am very pleased with the phone. My only serious disappointment is my inability to Sync, however that may be unique to myself. Am very pleased with the extent of service by Nokia technical support in providing guidance and support, and appreciate the Nokia website which offers various extras (software and other downloads) free of charge when other manufacturers expect you to purchase some of the same options to fully utilize the features of their phones.

I also commend Amazon.com customer and wireless services personnel for their attentiveness and dedication to true customer service!

5.0 out of 5 stars Five stars and worth every one!, July 23, 2008

This review is from: Nokia 5310 XpressMusic Unlocked Phone with 2 MP Camera, MP3/Video Player, MicroSD Slot--U.S. Version with Warranty (Blue) (Wireless Phone Accessory)

The Nokia 5310, aka "The Music Xpress", is one nifty little phone! 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.

The 5130 is available in purple, orange, red and blue (I own the purple). 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 buttons are raised up just a bit. 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 phone has several nifty features, including a 2 megapixel camera that takes good-to-very-good quality pictures. It can also function as a video camera, doing both sound and image. There's no flash or self-portrait mirror, but you can make do. The screen acts as a view finder, of course. There's also four different levels of zoom and several different video effects (like black and white, negative, false color, etc). There's a nifty little mini-USB port you can use to move your files to a computer (assuming you have a cable. Thankfully the phone comes with one).

There's also the usual selection of programs, like a calculator, alarm clock, organizer, etc. The system also comes with a few game demos, none of which are particularly memorable.

Ah, but you want to know about the biggie, right? You want to know all about the music capability!

Well, this phone doesn't disapoint. 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. There's also a headphone jack that, thankfully, allows for normal headphones to be used. I have a neat little set I got on a Delta flight, and they work just fine.

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! I've got quite a bit of music on mine and it isn't even close to being filled. Tiny card, too. About the size of a fingernail.

Overall there's no real reason not to recommend this phone. It's sleek and stylish, has a great price point, comes with plenty of goodies and plays music very, very well. It's worth every penny I paid for it, and that's not something I can often say!
