Nokia 5310 XpressMusic review

Nokia's been a the forefront of the mobile phone market, well, for as long as there have been mobile phones. The Nokia 5310 looks like a classic low-rent PAYG special for the hard-up, but, like a young man destined to star in adult films, this is hiding a big secret in its trousers…
Pros:
  • At first glance, this very slim and light, 2G phone doesn't exactly give us the thrills, but it has a remarkable trick up its sleeve: Comes With Music
  • Buy the handset for about 80 quid and you can download tunes from Nokia's library for no further charge.
Cons:
  • Nokia's copy protection means tunes can only be played back from the handset and your PC
  • and there's a raft of other daft restrictions
  • plus music management software that's frankly not up to scratch.

I REALLY tried to like this phone!

I'm one of those people who is desperately trying to avoid touch screens and smart phones because I'm broke and don't want to pay to have a mobile web plan. I've owned a Motorola Z3 for 4 years and loved it, but the phone is getting old and it was time to upgrade. Enter the Nokia 5310.

Poor quallity, cheap product

I bought this phone cuz I had one before someone stole it. For some reason this phone is different the one I had before. One button is about to come out after one month of use. U have to charge every day. Battery last no more than 4 hours of talk. It's not worth $ 75 dollars.
