With a sleek aluminum finish, the Nokia 5310 XpressMusic phone blends an array of features with a smooth inspirational design.The phone enables you to “sideload” music bought from the Nokia Music Store via their PC however they won’t be able to download them directly to the phone as it uses the Series 40 operating system rather than Series 60.
There's something about the 5310 that makes you want to pick it up to use. It may not be the most attractive-looking or the thinnest handset you can find in the market today. But the combination of a 9.9mm-slim profile, bright color lines (red or blue) and a rather simple yet trendy design somehow makes the phone likeable for most people on first impressions. It also helps that once you pick it up, it's got comfortable and solid feel. Although Nokia 5310 is the thinnest Nokia Expres Music phone, it embeds
a dedicated music chip, stereo Bluetooth, 3.5 mm AV jack and reveals an
incredible stylish classical shape which comes in a mainly black
colored casing complete with colored sections which makes this phone
look very fashionable. The camera is well known with Nokia, the 2
megapixel camera (4x digital zoom, no flash) shows good results in
bright day light.

Many thin phones these days use a single port for charging, headset and
data transfer. This usually means you cannot do more than one task at
anytime. The 5310, however, comes with three individual ports onboard
for each of the functions, including one for data transfer via
microUSB. We were pleasantly surprised to find a port for a 3.5mm audio jack, especially on a sub-10mm slim phone. This must surely be one feature that will win the hearts of music junkies who like the freedom of using their own earphones.
But the 5310 is not just a music phone. As well as making calls and playing music, it will do everything that you'd expect from a mid-range non-3G phone. The camera is a respectable 2 megabytes. It lacks a flash, which is a shame, but in good light it'll take decent pics. The display is outstandingly good, with a high-res screen that's as good as anything in this price range. Although the phone isn't 3G, it supports fast downloads using EDGE and has the Opera Mini Browser built-in, so you can still browse the web, and the screen is large enough to make this feasible. The phone comes with 3 games, and you can download Java games too. The UI is quite customisable, with animated screensavers, wallpapers and downloadable themes. |
