Nokia 5310
The slimmest model of Nokia, the 5310 XpressMusic was released around 2008 in three colors - Blue, Red and Black. As the name suggests, it is a part of the XpressMusic series of Nokia phones, and it satisfies the tag of a music phone very well. The most stunning amongst several other key features is that it is just 9.9 mm thin and very light to carry. Being a music phone, it sports dedicated music keys on the left of the screen for play / pause, Next and Previous track. The speakers are on the lateral side of the phone and provide crystal clear sound, as it comes with a dedicated internal audio chip. Music playback is of around 20 hours and can be also played through the headset / speakers provided in the package. Also, the battery has a talk time of 5.4 hours and standby time of 300 hours which is amazing in its own respect.
Now coming on to the imaging part of the phone, it has a 2 MP camera with 4x digital zoom and overall has a good camera feature. The phone is based on the 5th Edition Series 40 user interface and can run a host of mobile applications ranging from games, image viewers to web browsers and email managers. The phone comes bundled with a 1 GB expendable memory card, along with a charger, speakers, and a headset.
Overall, the phone delivers a satisfying mixture of great sound quality, easy and handy user interface with good looks and credibility for money. For me it is a steal at such low price.
