Nokia 5300 XpressMusic

...buying her a phone. As Nokia is my choice of preference, I stepped confidently to a Nokia showroom to look for the model around. My budget for the phone was limited and so I have to restrict to a phone which is cheaper and got all the facilities to support the fuctions of my wife. I selected the cute looking Nokia 5300 Xpress Music. The phone comes in a variety of colours and I preferred the black to the red and white or the black and white. It is ...
...a FM Radio. The Nokia 5300 XpressMusic supports a 2" QVGA TFT display resolution of 320X240 pixels in 262144 colours. The phone comes with a set of dedicated music keys using which you can easily play, pause or stop the music. Just press the keys at the sides of the phone and you get your desired action. I don't like sliding phones, but the appearance of the phone attracted me and I could not avoid buying it for my wife. When you hold it in your ...

Review of Nokia 5300 XpressMusic

I have owned the Nokia 5300 for about 6 months now and I am currently on handset number 3. I own the phone as part of a contract and so it was free. At the time it was retailing for £135, but has since come down in price considerably. I was initially impressed with the graphics of the phone. This one was on the reasons for me choosing it, as it is far superior to its predecessor, the 5200. It has a very smart look to it, with a slide effect at ...
...around the middle, and the Nokia label is printed discreetly on the right hand side. The menu screen has a standard layout, where you can access things such as your mailbox or phonebook, as well as your photo galleries and call logs. There is also the option to rearrange these icons so that certain things are easier to get to, and the things you don't use so much can be put further down the list. The memory of the phone is fantastic and cant be ...

Review of Nokia 5300 XpressMusic

...have owned two of these Nokia 5300s, both bought at their initial PAYG price of £129 on T-mobile. My first one was stolen while I was at work, stolen by a customer (nice). I had only had the phone about a month, but as I had refused the insurance I had to buy another full price one in January 2007. I needed a new phone because my Dad needed one for work contacts so I agreed to give him my old one and I was to come off contract anyway. I chose the ...
...one or a jazzy blue Nokia one. You can download themes on the internet though, of everything from pigs to girls in bikinis, to personalise your phone. There are all the standard Nokia functions, and it would take too long to go through them all, especially the basics. Nokia does the basics as well as it has done before so contacts and messages and nicely organised. There is a dedicated camera/video key on the side of the phone. The camera is average, ...

I enjoyed this phone as it works well and has lots of funcionality. My best phone yet! I have never used a phone which offered such a good price to features ration ever and I am glad thta I purchased this phone for the tiny price of £60, wh9ich in my mind was a complete bargain in reality to how much you could pay for a phone these days. In conclusion, an excellent phone with all of the features you would ever need, 1.3 megapixel camera, great TFT ...

...is for sale on the Nokia site for £130. The staff member (I think he was about 12) was very helpful and told me that this phone could do all of those things, I asked about directly downloading from itunes and he assured me that I could, the only lie or misinformation that he told. The phone itself is a 'slide' design which is pretty nice, i have always had 'clams' before. The design is pretty cool, robust, big rubber edges on a relatively small ...
...with the phone which loads Nokia PC Suite to your computer is worth the price alone, there is an auto convert function which converts tracks to an appropriate format and simply press 'copy to phone'. I could not work out how to get tracks directly from my itunes library, despite spending hours on it, so i settled for making a CD of the tracks I wanted and it was plain sailing from there. You can then load the tracks into the music player, ringtones, ...

Review of Nokia 5300 XpressMusic

I got the Nokia 5300 as agift for christmas and fell in love with it instantly, everything from the design to the music player to the voice recorder is excellent. It is best known for being a music phone hence the name XpressMusic. Design: This has a very cool and funky design White plastic at the bottom and the top, and the middle is red rubber which has three buttons on one side of the phone. On one side there is the two volume buttons, you can ...
...the other side it says NOKIA in big white writing. Durability: I have found that this phone is quite durable as I have dropped it many times and it has not broken cracked or even turned itself off. It is quite easy to scratch the screen though, but this can easily be fixed with scratch dissolver. Music Player: You are able to convert music from your computer (using the USB leads included) or from somebody elses phone using bluetooth or infrared, ...

Review of Nokia 5300 XpressMusic

This phone has it all and for a good price too. Not only can you listen to mp3s through very good, if not a little chavy speakers, but you can access the web too. Orange do a great deal of unlimited web browsing for just £1 a day, and thats on pay as you go. Camera quality isnt great but you get much more in its place. Only negative is that the speaker broke after about two months of me having it, this is probably due to my man handling of it though! ...

...photos, music and videos the Nokia has to pause for a couple of seconds to load which can get very boring. Overall it is an excellent value for money phone that gives average quality music, calls and pictures. It is not jam packed full of features but is good for everyday use. However, battery life is poor. ...

Review of Nokia 5300 XpressMusic

The Nokia 5300 _Xpress_Music is my current mobile phone and possibly the best phone I've ever bought. It's reliable, practical, and durable. Even though it has just a 1.3 mega pixel camera the quality of the photos is still very good, even when uploaded onto the computer with the included lead. You can connect to the internet from almost anywhere and also download many games, themes, applications, tones and pictures. The pictures, themes and tones ...
...averaging a cost of £3.50. However, I am basing this on my experience and the prices will undoubtably vary with network, these are the average prices of o2 downloads. Music can be downloaded from windows media player, any file in MP3 and WMA format will be compatable, although the latter taking less room on the memory card. This phone has a mini USB port which connects your phone to your computer to upload pictures and videos; and download music ...

Review of Nokia 5300 XpressMusic

The Nokia 5300 is one of Nokia's XpressMusic phones, a label meant to identify handsets that are particularly fit for use as a music player. But I enjoyed the Nokia 5300 much more as a phone than as a cell phone than as a music player, even though it's still a good music player: up to 2GB memory card, dedicated protruded music keys on the side, standard 2.5mm headset jack. It also offers a variety of music transfer features such as USB Mass Storage ...
...as much as with the Nokia N91 but it is a higher priced cell phone. I forgot to test Nokia's provided headset but according to other users comments, they are of a lower quality and should be replaced by better ones. At least, the 5300 supports A2DP Stereo Bluetooth headsets. All in all, I enjoyed using the Nokia 5300 as a cell phone. There are better music player phones out there but this one offers a great deal of features in a reasonably good music ...

Review of Nokia 5300 XpressMusic

I have had this phone for a few years now and when compared to newer or later version it seems a little bit out dated. I like it because it has a 2 megapixel camera, which takes rather nice pictures given the right lighting. I also like it because it has a slot for a micro SD card meaning you can expand the memory if you wish to, which for me has come in handy as i like listening to musis whilst travelling and i have been able to upload my favourite ...
...as well. The battery life seems to last a while which i like, its also very durable considering the amount of times i have dropped it. The phone also has bluetooth capability which i have found almost a must have on a phone so i can share pictures and music with friends. It also means i can send pictures i have taken to photo kiosk maschines if i want to get them developed. ...

Nokia express music 5300. Recieved for christmas from my husband i was amazed and stunned that he actually chose a great gift, something that was all mine and could enjoy for a long time coming. I always try to get nokia as my phone as the layout and set up are easy to use and not to complicated i have had other makes only to exchange the next day due to not easily understanding the phone. For me to have a mobile mp3 player and a good camera in ...
...stored onto your pc using nokia manager and a usb cable and music easily transfered from windows media player to the phone which you can set up as your ringtone alerts and etc. My phone came with a 52mb memorycard which is big enough for me as my pictures and video clips are uploaded constantly but you could purchase a 2gb memory card to store more music or pictures. The phone also has web n walk which i have only used to check emails while away ...

I know everyone's opinion on this phone is the cheap price and the high-tech multi-function. But I guess I'm just not that impressed with the battery life and its sensitive respond to the weather. Everytime when I slide it on outside, the whole screen freezes, I have to wait at least two minutes for it to go back to normal! Just not the cool phone I expected it to be! Sorry if someone not agrees with me, don't think I recommend it to anyone, sorry!!! ...
