This is what i feel about Nokia 5310.
I am using Nokia 5310 since Dec 07.
Yes, the battery life is very good.
I think should be doubled the one for Nokia 6300.
Charge my phone every 3-4 days.
But the camera and speaker alone cause lot of problem.

1)The camera is NOT 2.0MP actually based on some testing on overseas website.
It's just a fake, only 1.3MP actually but Nokia faked it as 2.0MP by editing everything, who knows it's a fake until the website tested it?

2) The speaker volume is really low. Can't even loud enough to let everyone heard that song in a bedroom. But the quality is nice since it is double speaker. But who cares about this? It fails once its volume is low.

3) Earphones quality is nice as claimed by Nokia. They say they put some kind of music chip in that phone. I feel that it's quite satisfying at first. But until i compare it's Bass mode quality with Sony Ericsson W550i's Mega Bass mode with a same song and same earphones (HS-45). Nokia 5310's quality becomes a crap of shit in the test. It don't even have a surrounding effect like W550i's Mega Bass mode does.

So what's good about this Nokia 5310?
And it restart frequently too while you listening to music. What XpressMusic is it?
And did you notice that the "Play/Pause" button won't function while you sending file?
So means you can't Pause the song you are Playing or Play the song.

The most funny bugs created by Nokia nowadays is as below, it occurs at almost every newer S40 platform.
You can't adjust the (am/pm) of alarm time/organiser time/time when you is in 12 hours mode. Have a try.

The only thing i like about it is it's slim and quite cool while showing it to others.
Like Chinese say: "金玉其外，败絮其中"

Sucks la...
Just check, even Nokia 6300 have this problem too...
So confirmed 5310 and 6300 have this problem.
Everytime need to adjust the alarm, need to change to 24 hours mode.
Because i used to am/pm mode.

Go to 'date and time settings', scroll down to highlight the time settings and select option.
You will see the am/pm selection on the panel..

The physical design of this phone really attracts me. But it's S40... I want S60... S60 don't have this kind of slim phones... sigh...

slimmest s60 i think 6120c... gud enuf d

refering to the pic with red circle,
anyone can tell me wat is this?
TQ.

I think is camera light sensor

mmm.... i dun think soo...
the camera is located at the back..

My 5610 phone camera light sensor is located beside the secondary camera, so i think is the same..

btw, after googling for answer n i found that it is actually a light sensor for auto dimming feature.
i already tested this feature. its coool...
but this model cannot adjust the brightness manually.

anyway, thx for ur reply.

Is it really bad? with all the restart problem, low volume speker?
i just plan to buy this.

OMG OMG you guys should just update its firmware version to v5.81 !

One of the most significant changes is the loudspeaker's volume has been increased much! Hmm.. just to convince you guys, compare the volume to SE's w850i now! The equaliser is working very effective too!

As for the restarting problem, i haven't encounter any of these since i bought my phone, but there are people outside saying this problem has also been overcome.

It's a good solid mobile for me now, despite the few glitches at first
Yet the camera is still laggy, but that is not a problem for me la, seldom take pictures with phone-cam also
