Nokia 5310 XpressMusic review

The Nokia 5310 XpressMusic weighs just 70 grams and is only 9.9mm thick, but it is a surprisingly feature packed phone, and one that offers very good value for money too.

The XpressMusic branding means that this is a midrange music phone. Priced at around €225 / £150 / $300 before tax and subsidy, the 5310 isn't too expensive and is in reach of many prepay customers. For the money you get a tri-band GSM phone with a 2" 240x320 pixel display, microSD expandable memory, a multimedia player, a 2 megapixel digital camera, stereo Bluetooth and an FM radio.

There are also dedicated media keys on the side of the 5310 XpressMusic, and the handset can play back MP3, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, WMA and M4A audio clips through a standard 3.5mm jack plug, stereo Bluetooth headset or a set of speakers.

Memory is expandable up to 4GB, and Nokia say that this means that the 5310 XpressMusic can store a maximum of 3000 songs.

It's a nice looking handset and we think that the Nokia 5310 XpressMusic offers good value for money in a very lightweight package.

Nokia say that the 5310 XpressMusic should be available during Q4 2007.
