 Slim package yet full of features. August 10, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I had to buy this as a replacement when the Nokia 6126 I was using kicked the bucket after the warranty expired. I depend on wireless phones to make all my calls since my house is sans 'land line', so I wasn't walking out of the T-Mobile store w/out a phone. I saw this phone featured amongst the inventory and initially thought it was just another flashy piece o' eye candy. Well I picked it up to see how it handled and I was impressed with its build quality. It felt (feels) like a sturdy enough piece of equipment. I bought it and so far no regrets.
I've had the phone for a few weeks now and I've enjoyed its performance thus far. I've dropped it a few times and it seems no worse for wear. All the major function keys seem well placed and ergonomically sound. The screen resolution is one of the best I've seen. The camera quality seems to have taken a step backwards compared to my old Noki 6126. (How does that happen?) Shutter speed is sloooow and that makes for a blurry picture. The MP3 playing capability of the phone is decent enough, though the majority of your song storage will be through the included 1GB mini SD card. The phone's internal memory is paltry. The FFW, Play and RRW buttons are easy to activate accidentally. I'll think I'll have a call coming in but then realize that I just bumped into something and turned on the music player.
Will it replace my current MP3 player? Well no, (I will not part w/ my Creative Zen!) but it's a great device to have on the go. Call quality is excellent and Bluetooth connections & pairing are quick and strong. The keys on the pad are VERY small. My thumb can cover the entire keypad without any of them showing. If you're a texting maniac this may not be the phone for you unless you have Robert Johnson like dexterity.
The software that you can download from Nokia for this phone is also handy to manage your various media files. With T-mobile offering this phone for free or in the realm of less than $50 I would definitely recommend snatching up this phone.
Good phone but voice recorder limited to 58 seconds July 26, 2008

This phone has good voice quality, great speaker, and strong battery time. Signal reception is average by Nokia standard, which is still considered good comparing to other brands. I do not use camera or video so I have no comment there.
A problem with the phone is that voice recorder is limited to 58 seconds. T-Mobile does not have any answer to how to extend the recording time even though the phone is equipped with an additional 1 GB card. In addition, you cannot charge the T-Mobile version's battery using USB connection as reviewed on many sites.
 Five stars and worth every one! July 24, 2008

The Nokia 5310, aka "The Music Xpress", is one nifty little phone! Sure, it's no iPhone, but if you want something that got just about as many bells and whistles for a little less money, you want this phone.
The 5130 is available in purple, orange, red and blue (I own the purple). It's very thin and small, but fits easily in the palm of your hand and doesn't give the impression it's going to fall apart if you look at it cross-eyed.
The buttons are raised up just a bit. The display is bright and vibrant. If you have T-Mobile service with this phone, you'll find it can handle the My Favorites plan just fine, with nice little icons and customizable options fo each person.
The phone has several nifty features, including a 2 megapixel camera that takes good-to-very-good quality pictures. It can also function as a video camera, doing both sound and image. There's no flash or self-portrait mirror, but you can make do. The screen acts as a view finder, of course. There's also four different levels of zoom and several different video effects (like black and white, negative, false color, etc). There's a nifty little mini-USB port you can use to move your files to a computer (assuming you have a cable. Thankfully the phone comes with one).
There's also the usual selection of programs, like a calculator, alarm clock, organizer, etc. The system also comes with a few game demos, none of which are particularly memorable.
Ah, but you want to know about the biggie, right? You want to know all about the music capability!
Well, this phone doesn't disapoint. There's external music controls and an external volume control. You can turn it up loud enough to annoy the people next door if you really try. There's also a headphone jack that, thankfully, allows for normal headphones to be used. I have a neat little set I got on a Delta flight, and they work just fine.
When I bought the phone it came with the USB cable I mentioned earlier, as well as a stereo hands-free headset with a detachable mic, and, joy of joys, a 1 gigabyte memory card! That's a really nice thing to have! I've got quite a bit of music on mine and it isn't even close to being filled. Tiny card, too. About the size of a fingernail.
Overall there's no real reason not to recommend this phone. It's sleek and stylish, has a great price point, comes with plenty of goodies and plays music very, very well. It's worth every penny I paid for it, and that's not something I can often say!

i like this phone since you can add music and pics. it has one gb where you can add may things even though i havent tried to add music i guess is a nice phone. the only thing i dont like of this phone is when you connect it to your pc it takes a little bit of time to charge, but other than that is a good phone. another thing i love from this phone is to add a song and use it for a ring ring when someone call you. good stuff. the thing i really dont like is in this phone you cannot surf on the net for free as i used to do it with a metro pcs phone.
Nice Form Factor July 8, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Pros:
Form factor - nice thin and compact
FM radio/MP3 player
Takes 3.5mm regular earphones
Cool looking
Cons:
Durability - I had to replace it once already.
Camera - Shutter speed too slow, can't keep it still enough to get a decent pic. They need to increase the shutter speed.
