Nokia - 5300 Cell Phone Reviews

I purchased my Nokia 5300 XpressMusic at full price ($180 at the time) because I didn't want to upgrade my T-Mobile contract (unhappy with their lacking coverage). I loved it for the first few days until the novelty wore off. The expandable memory (MicroSD) slot is great if you actually use your phone to listen to music, but doing so will kill the battery quickly. The battery life is sub-par for a near $200 phone. I found myself charging it every day to a day-and-a-half. I never got around to using the music player on a regular basis, though a couple of times I did use it the speaker quality...

I have had my Nokia 5300 Xpress Music phone for about 6 months now and I can tell you that unless you needa smart phone, this phone would work well for just about anyone else.  Only the "Uber geek", that has to have the very latest gadgets and technology, would  require a phone that is supposedly better.  My only real complaint about this phone has to do with the battery cover.  It is very difficult to remove and because of that it is difficult to remove the memory card as well since the card is under the battery cover.  The reason this bothers me is that I have multiple memory cards as well...

This phone is one of my best purchases. it has excellent voice clarity ( I use T-Mobile), takes really good pictures (1.3 mp), uses micro SD card for memory to hold all my favorit music and pictures and video. an fm radio and external control buttons on a slide phone which is really cool for someone like me who "accidental dials" on a bar style phone.

Love it
