i hv 5310, been using it since may 2008 but now i switched to SE S500i after using nokia for 7 years since 2001.
just wanna try how SE works.

anyway, i just read regarding 5310 camera mp.
no wonder it's 1.3mp since all my photos are quite blur.
i think i hv to agree with the speakers, it's not that loud but then when i wanna listen to music, i just plug in the earphones.

i hv no problems with 5310 so far except the lagging problem when i switch on the phone.
it takes some time to find the network, loading contacts and when i press any buttons, it will take time.
im using 512mb card and only 100mb used.
compared to my SE S500i (1gb card), it loads faster than my 5310.

btw, my 5310 is AP

hey guys, let's make this thread alive! (i hope!)

anyway,
i just got myself a black edition of 5310 xm recently (zitron set, my 1st ever original warranty nokia phone).
actually, this is my 2nd 5310 xm as i had the red/black colour previously.
my red/black 5310 is still ok, it's just that it went thru a couple of "hard times" (dents on original housing, change new housing, lagging, collecting dust in screen etc) so i decided to keep it in the box and buy a new one.
moreover, i find that red/black colour is more towards teenagers (in my opinion).
i'm not a teenager anymore (27 already, sigh) so i looked for "adults-oriented" colour heheh....and i chose black!

as for the current market price, it's around RM550-RM580 for AP set.
i'm not sure about original set though but i think it's around RM700-RM800 (mine is between this range).

my firmware version for black 5310 is 7.01 and red/black is 5.81.
as far as i'm concern, the difference that i noticed is:
- no more lagging when starting the phone (7.01) compared to v5.81
i think others are still the same (sound volume etc).

i've tried a few SE & samsung models since october 2008 (never tried LG & motorola though) and i find that none of those models could be as convenience as my 5310 xm.
i think the downside of 5310 xm is the camera quality.
other than that, it rocks!

glad u did ur research.
maybe ur fren wanna get some commission from the supplier?

anyway, 1 more thing that i noticed the difference between my old v5.81 (red/black) and my new v7.01 (black) is that 5.81 can't play mp4 video, only can play mp4 audio.

for the volume sound, i think there's no difference between 5.81 and 7.01.
it just sounds the same to me.
i use volume 5/10 and it's good enough for me to hear it.

i think we hv the same problem la.
my old red/black 5310 also encountered this foggy screen problem.
but if i remember correctly, i noticed this problem not long after i changed to AP housing.
before that (original housing), i think it was ok.

yeap, inside the screen.
in my case, not too foggy & it was on the left side of the screen.
just a lil bit but still visible.

but like i said in my previous post, this happen to my AP housing.
i can't remember if there's any foggy screen when i used original housing.

i think the reason is the fitting factor.
AP housing fitting can never be the same as original.
80-90% fit.
i'm not sure if those who hv this foggy screen problem occured to their original or AP housing.

what bout u?
how long hv u been using 5310 xm?

just to update the foggy screen problem.
it's been 3 months since im using my black 5310 XM (original, not AP).
in my previous posts, i said that the foggy screen problem occured to my old red 5310 XM (AP casing, AP phone).
but now im using original black 5310 XM and yeap, the foggy screen is there (not changing any casing, never dropped, no hard/soft cover).

so i guess the foggy problem is really a problem for 5310 XM?
