Nokia 5310 - user opinions and reviews

Nokia

dear frnds i have bought a 5310 last week . initially i was doubtful to my decision but now i realized it was a good decision. this is slim , stylish and lightest. there is no problem with sound if upgraded to V5.8. it has 2 MP camera as in N72 bt with out flash. but it is better than N72 . it has inbuilt 36MB and MiniSD up to 4 GB where as in N72 it is 20 MB and 1 GB respectively . it is comparable with N72... cheers.........

I will re-post my comparison on 5310 and 6300 for you, Tarek.

ON LOOKS AND GENERAL FEEL:
-I personally find the 5310 to be more stylish, trendy, sexy. The 6300 is rather classy, discrete, and professional looking.
-When compared side-by-side the 5310 definitely looks smaller.
-The 5310 feels VERY fragile since most parts are made of plastic. There are also a lot of holes or gaps where dust can easily enter and accumulate especially on the screen. The 6300 gives a more sturdy feel because of its stainless steel finish. It's very solid with no gaps and when handling it doesn't produce crackling noise.

ON LCD
-The 6300's screen is brighter.
-The 6300's LCD is protected by a glass screen while the 5310 is covered by plastic(?).

ON SOUND
-The 6300's loudspeaker is louder. However, the 5310 produces richer, "true" stereo sound. The 6300's loudspeaker is just mono.
-When listening to music through the headphones, I couldn't tell the difference between the two phones.
-The 5310's side volume keys sometimes wouldn't work. Restarting the phone would fix it.

ON CAMERA
-The 6300's camera "seems" better. Pictures appear sharper and colors are more balanced. I am not sure if this is because the 6300 has a better camera or a better LCD or both.
-5310 has NO "Night Mode".
-Panning and scanning with the 6300's camera is smoother, so videos should look smoother too.
-Snapshots take twice as long for the 5310 to be processed compared to the 6300. This probably means the 6300 has a faster CPU(?).

ON MULTIMEDIA
-The 5310's video player has no Rewind/Fast Forward function like in the 6300.

OTHERS
-A nice feature on the 5310 is the ambient light detector which automatically adjusts the brightness of the screen and switches on/off the keypad light to conserve battery.
-The 6300 has so-called reminder lights on the sides which discreetly alerts you every now and then if you have an unread message or unanswered call.

Considering all these I would say the 5310 is for the hip and trendy who are after looks and loves music a lot. For everything else, I think the 6300 is a better choice (although I might be biased).

It's worth it to buy a 5310 instead of having a 6300. I swear the rining tone of the 5310 can now be heard with v 05.81
and the crustal clear quality of the sound of this phone is cool!
no more restarting problems!

All those people who owns this kind of Cellphone.. Update it to v. 05.81 now

i think the 5310 is the best nokia phone i have ever seen in my life i give it 8.5 all rounder, the music player is very loud, it provides all the nessessary features. the 2 mp camera is briliant.

worth buying at any price, my recommondation is that it is brilliant but might be slightly fragile.

This phone wasn't meant to be a camera phone. It was created mainly for music so don't expect too much from the camera, the important thing is the music department where this phone scores very high.

Great Phone, decent Design, very light, good music player, what else do you need? Use Headphones to listen, People who annoy other ppl using the speaker in public all the time need professional help. :-)
Yes, the camera is mediocre, but who cares.
