Nokia 5310 XpressMusic Expert Reviews

The Nokia 5310 XpressMusic is a compact, candy-bar format phone offered by T-Mobile. As you can tell by its name, it's intended to be a music-oriented phone and it has the external music control buttons and included accessories to live up to that name. An...

The 5310's operating system is responsive and user-customizable with wallpapers, themes, ringtones, and more. What it doesn't offer is the ability to add applications - you'll be limited to downloading games from T-Mobile's T-Zones store, and not much els...

slider from just two years ago, this truly bite-size candy bar is 9 grams lighter than the W890i, about 0.25mm thinner and less wide by about 6.6mm (it's also advertised as .01 inches slimmer, but we couldn't tell). While we had no trouble stashing the 53...

Excellent sound quality. Able to accept calls not only while USB-connected, but also *during* file transfers. Convenient external music controls. 3.5mm jack (can't stress this enough). Tween alert: sufficiently loud external speaker great (annoying) for p...

Flashless 2.0 MP camera. Dated, sluggish OS. Only 1GB card included. Dinky earbuds are literally a foot shorter than iPod buds. Only 17-second vid clips. Voice recordings limited to 58 seconds. Ours came stocked with a Panic at the Disco track (promptly d...

How can so much music come out of such a little phone? Somewhere out there, a Nokia engineer or two must know the answer, because the Nokia 5310 XpressMusic phone manages to cram a whole lot of sound into quite a small package

With a convenient, lightweight design based around a fun-filled musical experience, the Nokia 5310 XpressMusic should keep audiophiles entertained anywhere, anytime.

The last generation Nokia XpressMusic phone, the Nokia 5300, sold well on T-Mobile USA. But thin is in, and the phone was ripe for a redesign. And so T-Mobile has picked two new models for the US market: the Nokia 5310 XpressMusic phone which became avail...

Thin and sleek looking phone. Great audio quality. 1GB microSD card and stereo wired headset included. USB cable included for side-loading music. A good web browser and a decent camera.

Voice recognition doesn't work well out of the box. Number keys and d-pad are too slippery. Not quad band, missing the 900MHz band used heavily in Europe.

If you like music-centric phones that also look sleek and thin, you will get along with the Nokia 5310 famously. The phone isn't super-fast, but it gets the job done. Phone calls are very clear and loud and listening to music is a joy. The included access...

For a music handset, this was one enjoyable little model. Its small size made it great for day-to-day use and storage without getting in the way. The battery had more than enough juice to keep it going throughout the day without dying on us.

The stylish 5310 is the most pocket-friendly music phone on the market and offers very good call quality.

Great music performance, Very compact design, Simple user interface, 2-MP camera, Good call quality

No 3G, Tri-band configuration limits worldwide roaming

The 5310 offers WAP 2.0 for browsing, and it does a decent job of connecting via T-Mobile's EDGE network. We wish this phone offered 3G or Wi-Fi, but EDGE was sufficient for light browsing. The addition of Flash Lite 2.1.1 support, however, makes for a mu...

Simple, affordable and friendly- good enough grounds for its mass appeal.

If you are not in great need of a great camera, Nokia 5310 is a great deal. Music ability is its forte. It has a satisfying sound quality. It may not be too loud but you won't miss a call with it. Its built design is superb. The approach for th...
