got myself and my gf this phone last weekend.

would say that i'm pretty satisfied with it overall, and yeah, the sound quality is slightly below expectations. especially the msg tones and alarms. without 3g too, but it's not one of my criteria so doesn't bother me much.

other than that, i think it's a great phone. slim, sleek, elegant. plus, i'm a nokia regular, so the sms style suits me well compared to other brands. tried using sony ericsson for a few months and boy, struggled horribly with text messaging i'd rather make the call, hahaha...

i thought battery life has always been a prob with nokia phones? i dunno, just from my experience from using so many nokia phones all these years, i kinda expected that already, since i'm used to charging it every night...

The ringtone is still ascending although you set ringing?
Then i afraid the chance to get a missed call is very high....Haiz...
I plan to buy this phone la...But the speaker scare me away..
Currently am using Nokia 6300, only have 1 speaker only, so if compared to 5310, which is louder?
5310 have 3 speakers la.

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. tongue.gif
Like Chinese say: "金玉其外,败絮其中"

Till now still don't have fix a? smile.gif
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.

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 tongue.gif

To increase the speaker volume, just update your firmware using NSU.
The max speaker volume will become noticably loud.. smile.gif
