This phone is a nightmare. Not only does the 1GB memory card mysteriously become unformatted but the phone randomly doesn't ring. The wallpaper also blanks out to white. I tried exchanging this phone and the first day of having the exchange I had all the same problems and returned the exchange. And yes, I did try to reformat the memory card as stated in the manual on both my phone and the exchange, the option isn't even on the menu of my phone.

Awesome phone, plays music, sharp images, have been using for about 1/2 yr already. What you need for the phone is a Case.- I have a plastic case that covers de phone, dropped the phone like 10x already, no problems what so ever.
only cons: low quality camera, takes a while to load MY programs.
bulky with plastic.

I bought my phone back in may, and a couple weeks after that the phone itself would just randomly restart and sit on a white screen displaying only the battery life symbol in the corner and the time for about 4 minutes usually (the time would freeze so when the phone resumed life, it would skip ahead ___ minutes). it would do this about every 2 weeks, and eventually froze one too many times and wouldn't work anymore. I didn't know how to remove the back and take the battery out, but when I brought it in they found out that the memory card had somehow like exploded and all the programs, texts, numbers saved to the phone, etc. had been erased and couldn't be used anymore. I could place some calls but not for longer than 3 minutes before the phone would freeze. I ended up having to pay for the shipping of a new one, and it's started doing the same thing again. it's a good phone when it works, but there has to be something wrong with it and moreover, I think they know it. when I brought it in there didn't seem to be any surprise about it. So tomorrow, again, i'm going to bring it in (for freezing, and for the phone thinking the headset jack is still in when it's actually not), and, again, i'll probably pay for the shipping of a new phone. I WOULD recommend the phone, if it worked all the time, but the fact that it breaks down after about 2 months of use makes it, to me, not worth the hassle or money

This mobile is TOO WEAK, It's slide the cover and start to move, drop in a carpet and the glass is gone. DON'T BUY IT. I think it's a swindle of Nokia, in the shop they told me Nokia knows this faults but they're continue selling this phone. The battery is for 48 hours, NO for 223 hours like 'spec', with no games, no music, only 3 phone call (6:32 minutes) and 8 SMS received. I only have Nokia phones and I continue with this idea, but now I desperate with piece of ....

I have it, for a month already , and absolutely love it!
The keypad is great for texting, what i mainly do.
The screen is gorgeous, the UI friendly and fast.
I love that when i listen to music or radio and a call comes, the music pauses to let the call come thru, and once over it resumes :)
the battery is kinda shortlived, stays for 2 days... i was wondering is it because i keep playing with the phone, or because it is.. well, basically crap...haven't decided yet.
i'm trying a new way of extending battery life, by pressing the red button for 3 sec after i lock the keypad, it makes the backlght go out very fast, instead of staying for 15 and more seconds.
hope it will work.
I really wish Nokia could address this issue with the backlit screen in further software upgrades.
Apart from that, I love the phone!!

To all those with questions about the nokia 5300 i love this phone, i find it to be one of the best phones, the screen does scratch easy but so would the screen on any other phone, insurance is a good suggestion but not a requirement, it mostly varies on how the phone it treated, i drop mine sometimes but nothing terrible has happened and i plan to keep it that way, but if you do fear dropping it hard, there is many protective cases that fit on the phone perfect and can give it a new look. I am curious as to one thing, i've looked all over the web to find differet colors of this phone and have only found: Black, Red, and Lilac, if you have a different color Tell ME! over all THIS PHONE KICKS ASS!!!

TO ANYONE WHO IS CONSIDERING TO BUY THE NOKIA 5300 READ THIS!!!HI... I would like to respond to the person who commented about the nokia 5300 being made in Hungary and how the phone is not very durable.I have to totally agree. agree!! I bought this phone and instantly fell in love with it. I mean its a really cool phone but... I only had it for 3 weeks and i accidentally droped it once( not event that hard) and the screen cracked and the phone is complety done (unless I want to spend alot of money sending it in to Nokia to see if they can fix it, and wait at least a week) SO my advice, if your kinda a clutz like me I don't recommend this phone because it breaks waaaay too easy. And if you go ahead and buy this phone make sure you get insurance!!!

To Mr. No-name (the one that wrote the really long comment)..
I think that buying phones is completely thru opinion.. Im sure so many ppl love this phone and no offence or anything bt sayin that cud hurt ppl tht love this phone.. Another thing the 3250 Xpress whateva must be more expensive.. is it? Thanx for recommending it but i really love this phone!! (sori if i offended u!)
