The compact Nokial 5300 music phone.

The Nokia 5300 is compact but just weighty enough to feel robust. The two-tone colour scheme (red and white or black and white) is most likely to appeal to teens. It features a spring-loaded slide mechanism which opens to reveal a spacious keypad.
The music player is the Nokia 5300's standout feature, with dedicated keys, bundled software and expandable memory. Elsewhere, a 1.3-megapixel camera, video recorder, 262,000-colour display, Push-To-Talk and Instant Messaging.
The Nokia 5300 has simple-to-use music functions so you can download, transfer and manage files easily. The joypad is a little fiddly. Everything else is straightforward enough -you shouldn't need to take too much time reading the manual.
A 3.5mm jack means you can plus a decent set of headphones into the Nokia 5300, and we would recommend it for a good sound quality. Other than the music player, everything else performs as well as you would expect.
The Nokia 5300 has 200 minutes of talktime. That's hardly brilliant - especially if you are out and about with 2GB worth of music in your pocket.
Pros: Very compact for a specialist music phone.
Cons: Niche design appeal and no 3G means slower downloads.
