Nokia 5310 XpressMusic mobile phone - First Look

Nokia 5310 XpressMusic

By Sandra Vogel (trustedreviews.com)

Slim, sexy but a little unsophisticated.

It is a real annoyance when a mobile is such an obvious mix of great design and poor features. If Nokia takes the thin look and striking outer casing of this handset and puts S60, 3G, a decent camera and Wi-Fi inside, it could come up with a consumer...

After a series of lacklustre blowers Nokia has finally got its mobile music house in order – starting with the ultra-slim 5130 XpressMusic

The 5310 is satisfyingly thin and a cool music phone but fails to bring Walkman-beating audio talents to the table

Nokia 5310 XpressMusic review

By Frank Lewis (cnet.co.uk)

The 5310 is a decent music handset, but it doesn't offer anything that hasn't been done better elsewhere. We also found the lack of 3G support and plasticky build quality a turn off

Full-sized headphone socket ; Decent music player ; Good screen

Feels plasticky ; No 3G support

Conclusion There are currently a huge number of music phones on the market and to be honest the 5310 doesn't really stand out from the crowd. The handset may be slim, but the case feels quite plasticky and the range of features on offer is nothing we...

It's a decent phone, given its relatively low price of £120 on pay as you go from the Carphone Warehouse (or free on contract), but certainly not an exceptional one

Nokia 5310 Review

By Editorial Team (recombu.com)

The 5310's slim design means it will fit in almost any pocket and while some people won't appreciate its simple design, we did.

If you're looking for a simple music phone then this is it. A slim design, 3.5mm headphone jack and straightforward music interface offer a genuinely compelling experience if you're on a budget. Avoid this if you're an audiophile.

Review: Nokia 5310 XpressMusic

By Reuben Lee (asia.cnet.com)

The thing about ultraslim phones (read: Less than 10mm thick) is that they usually come with some tradeoffs either in terms of features, functionality or in some cases, usability. However, that doesn't seem to be the issue with the 5310 XpressMusic....

Slim, chic design; good sound reproduction; onboard 3.5mm audio jack; dedicated music controls; A2DP Bluetooth stereo; microSD card slot; crisp image quality

Slow camera performance; average battery life; no 3G/HSDPA

Despite its less-than-impressive camera performance, the 5310 XpressMusic is still one of the best-equipped music-phones in the market today.

But what impressed us most was its extensive range of music features. From onboard 3.5mm audio jack and Bluetooth stereo to a memory expansion card slot and dedicated music playback buttons, you'd be hard-pressed to find a music-phone as slim and...

On a rainy evening in June 2008, I saw this 'black-body" sibbling of Nokia at a local outlet. Price at that time was a whopping 9.8K. But I was thrilled by its music reproduction and display. so, after some hesitation, I forked out that money to get
