Mobile-review have posted their review of the music focused Nokia 5310 XpressMusic. Here is the final impression.
Impressions
The volume presented by 64-chord ring tones is average, overall the 5310 is not the loudest device around, so we experienced some difficulties with hearing it in the street, and it lacked volume indoors as well. Actually, this is our major gripe with the handset. In terms of reception quality, the phone is flawless. The vibro alert is middling strength-wise, but you will feel the phones vibration while it is in your pocket.
Given its current price tag of 230 Euro (in Europe), this phone appears to be a pretty good way to go if you are looking for an entry-level music playing solution it is quite petty and sports all the goodies of the S40 5th edition under the hood. The youth wont find a better offering if they are after a straightforward and functional phone, when getting used to a smartphone is not an option.
If you are a music buff, you will be better off with the senior models, even though you won't notice much of a difference between them sound-wise with a pair of custom earphones plugged in. They will come jam-packed with accessories and different form-factors.
On balance, the 5310 is the handset opening Nokias music range. It is a potent device, not without some flaws, yet boasting an array of advantages as well. It probably wont be a best seller, but will generate some solid sales.
