      i thought nokia will apply all the same function like nokia 3300 e.g recording external function/radio and built-in radio with ability to change equalizer/loudness. If all of this it, for sure i grab this phone.

        to those who comment that the plastic is cheap. how do u define cheap plastic? u actually went to study what plastic compound they used?

        to those who say this phone looks like a toy, thats jus plain stupid. does the ipod look like a toy? maybe, but it sells.

        look at the samsung phones, they look like regular clamshells. but almost all their phones are similar in design. boring.

        sony makes phones the size of bricks, sells too.

          i know ur happy with getting a new phone, im sure its good. but dont be too quick to say that the earphones are that good. cos they are not.

          if u have only used the supplied earphones that come with mp3 players, u probably havent gotten the full treatment.

          try using a super.fi, shure or some of the 13.5mm driver earphones by sony. u will enjoy this phone even more! =)

                Based on its specifications, it seems to be a user-friendly phone.

                Can I ask for its unit price and may I know if its already available in the Philippines coz I cannot find this info on the i-net.

                    both asia.cnet.com and mobile-review.com gave this phone very positive reviews especially asia.cnet. maybe this is a good music phone to buy. i personally like the designs although am wary if it will get dirty easily since its body is in white color.

                              i used to buy nokia phones, but i wa disppointed with the kind of service they render to customer. the last phone i bought, i sent it to them due to unit's defect, and it took me 3 months to get my phone.

                                interesting review!

                                http://reviews.cnet.com/Nokia_5300_Xpress_Music_Red/4505-6452_7-32098319.html?tag=txt

                                here r few lines from d reviewer:

                                "Music quality was excellent and a step above most music phones. The stereo speakers put out sharp, clear sound with much more volume than voice calls. Sound quality diminished at the highest volume level, but we hardly consider that a sticking point. Music also sounded great over the included wired headphones, but the headset connection was a little loose. We liked, however, that Nokia chose a standard 2.5mm connection."

                                  i'm just wondering if those people who bashes this phones are really SE fans, seems like the real SE and Nokia fans only appear as there are major phone comparison such as camera test or new arrivals of high end mobiles, not mid range or low-ends... those people loves making SE and Nokia fans fan-shootout... bahers, don't waste time bashing SE or Nokia models because nobody in both fansite would listen...

                                  Dont compare this to W300 coz both phones have their strong and weak sides;
                                  W300:

                                  -Pros:has megabass equalizer(proved to be very good in sounding, good earphones, large memory slot, and etc. which are better than 5300..
                                  -cons: bad camera resolution, screen reslution compared to 5300,

                                  5300

                                  -pros:
                                  better screen resolution compared to w300, better camera reslution, better design..

                                  -cons:
                                  incomparable sound quality, smaller internal memory, platform can't even compete to SE's platform in functionality... no multitasking feature as of W300's has..

                                  No phones prerfect at all... they are meant for those these phones suit their lifestyle, people have different lifestyles...

                                  this phone i admit is cool, nice and simple design yet, for budget consious peoples,.. W300i is sporty for music lovers too,..

                                      Wow, bad nokia call on this one. Im not se fanboy, I even own n73 and very glad about it but siriously se w800 has been around for what? 2 and a half years already? and it's a lot better... I mean a MUSIC phone who can probably play for 2 hours max and freakin 5MB internal? I bet even nokia fanboys will pass this crap out. and in compared to w800 there is really nothing better in this crap exept edge and a better screen. btw I dun like the design also, looks like a freagin toy

                                        hey man, don't ever try to compare N5300 to W850 or W830. The price of this babe is much lower.

                                        If you want, try comparing W830 to N3250, they have the same price, you'll see that N3250 is much better than W830 which is very similar interms of functions, UI and everything to most of SE phones. Just the difference in design !
