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...
