Hey all,
REturning mine to CPWHouse today - hopefully will get my money back. This is the second phone i get from them, and it keeps restarting. Soooo annoying.
It worked for about 2 hours, then started restarting, and it'll do so every 2 songs or so. Very strange - and a great shame!
Back to my trusty 6300..

Haey Guys,
Dont go for this mobile. It is one of the Ultimate Failure Model from Nokia.
I bought this mobile and i gave this mobile to service in the next day.
The Problems are :
Bluetooth, Mp3 Player , Camera , Mobile frequently restarting, The receiver cant able to hear the voice properly, Ring Volume Less, Handset Speaker Problem, FM Radio Problem.Whatever they have mentioned as features the whole thing is having the problem. I kindly suggest you to dont purchase this mobile.

The phone is great, only the ring vol is very low (does 44cc describe the vol output?) and is there are way to increase this?

I am thinking of buying this phone but I have to consider the bugs reported and the pour quality of the camera. I would really appreciate if anybody who has the phone and tracks the progress of its bugs can tell me if the following problems are resolved when the new firmware is released:
- often freezes (that necessitates reboot)
- increase video playback quality: currently QCIF at 15 frames/sec (as far as I am aware)...if it gets bumped up to at least 30 fps and 320x240 please let me know
email me if you want to help an undecided buyer if any fixes occur! thank you

nd guys, i've been usin da phone for da past week, nd i've been damn impressed with wat it can do...still, all of us hv da same software version (03.60 13-09-07 RM-303 variant : 00.00) so i guess the firmware bugs also remain the same....
i experience two major bugs in my 5310 :
1.) the phone freezes whenever i get a missed call...i.e., if i dont pick up, the call gets missed and the phone freezes....to restart the fone, i've to open da back cover, remove and re-insert the battery nd switch da fone on.....a very tedious procedure.....
2.) same as u all....music player crashes while playin mp3 files....phone restarts nd then media library is updated again....again wastes a lot of time nd destroys the core purpose of the fone.....
hope the nokia ppl will release the firmware update soon....so dat v can truly experience the joy of dis wonderful phone.....
until dat, i've found out a way to avoid the phone crash bug while playin music....it works fine for me, nd i guess it'll work fine for all other 5310's too....i think the reason for the crash is some problem in the mp3 decoder software of the phone....so wat i did was :
1. remove all mp3 music files from the memory card or phone memory
2. install pc suite from the cd included in the 5310 box
3. open nokia music manager (transfer music icon in pc suite main window) and add the music files u want to upload in the collection (File --> Scan my PC for music files --> specify folder)
4. go to Options --> Settings and in the Conversion tab, select "convert automatically" to M4A format in 64 kbps high quality (this wont alter sound quality but will reduce the file size to half of the original mp3 size)
5. now go to File --> Copy to phone and choose the option dat u need....
now, instead of mp3, the music player wil detect and automatically add the m4a (eAAC+) files to the media library....these files play flawlessly....i've listened to over 15 hours of music using this format, nd believe me, i hvnt experienced a single phone crash ever since....

It`s a great phone- slim, stylish, great features. But Nokia please look into the restarting problem. The phone automatically restarts after say an hour or so of hearing music and then after say every 15-20 minutes. I am an ardent Nokia fan and have used almost all of its phones. the best I liked was Nokia 5700. Great music phone. If the problem for restarting is worked Nokia 5310 shall be a great phone.

Hey all,
i've just got back from Carphonwarehouse - my faulty phone, which was restarting when playing music, has been replaced with a brand new one. I've now been playing mp3s for 1 hour and still no restart. Maybe that was a bad handset. Fingers crossed it'll keep working fine! :)
To answer someone's question here, yes, it takes a 2gb card, as mine came with it, and works fine. According to the nokia site the 5310 takes up to 4gb. No bad eh?
tata :)
