      me again...

      Every mobile phone has its own quality and its all have a best features...It’s just like the Computer where using...NOKIA is a friendly user unlike other Mobile Phone...User-friendly mobiles make life simpler. Often a mobile with an outstanding design may not be a user-friendly model. A few significant aspects can be considered if you want to buy a user-friendly mobile phone.

      1. Display screen
      2. Keypad
      3. Connectivity
      4. Sound
      5. Memory
      6. Battery life
      7. Multimedia
      8. Other necessary applications

      When buying the mobile you need to consider first what kinds of phone DO YOU NEED, second is your BUDGET, third what is your PURPOSE to buy a mobile that will suites to your personality. Keep these important aspects in mind before visiting the store…Choose the right mobile dealer or store.

      Hope it will helps you to choose and buying the best mobile phones…

        one thing more on reviews re: hang-up's:

        i suggest don't over loaded your Mini SD CardMemory (might be 1GB , 2GB or 4GB doesn't matter) give freespace coz even in a computer there are limitation on using the Ram Memory when you fully used all those memory it hangs-up right... then you need to Disk Cleanup...

        so if your saving a files or some songs just use your MIni SD Memory not the Phone memory...coz the Phone Memory has only 7.9MB... it will hangs-up it you will saved it in the phone... another thing, if you download a songs getting from the limewire scan your antivirus then use the Nokia PC suite to transfer your songs useing the Nokia Music Manager then click on Scan PC for music files, choose the files where you saved the songs then it loads...after that check the songs you want to be save in your Mini SD CardMemory...click on File drag the arrow to Copy to My Collection and it will need to Convert to mobile optimised format so that it compress the files...do it also in the video to be save in your Mini SD CardMemory...

        the hangs-up will be solve and no more rebooting...trust me...

        enjoy using your mobile NOKIA 5310 EXPRESSMUSIC

          hi everyone!!!

          if your having a problem with hanging you can upgrade the sofware of nokia 5310 expressmusic to the latest version 09.42...you will know if your software is not update by pressing *#0000# it appears on it the old version of n5310...just go at the website of nokia then click on download software if there's any...type your serial code which start in 055**** (it seen at the back...remove the battery with some graphic barcode looked down on it...it is the serial code...)

          when doing this you need to back-up all your data in memory...it needs to full charge the battery then take a look for the steps...promise no hang-ups anymore then some of the games will be upgrade too...

          goodluck...

          n5310 expressmusic is the best and slim mobile phone ever...has a good sounds, good camera 2pixel, and you willl love it...just buy an original thru nokia services only and other networks provider...

              Hi,
              I am planning a Nokia mobile this month. My choice is 5310, 6300 and 5320. Please guide me which is best?.

              I like bar type models. 6300 is having less talk time so I am thinking for 5310. But in most of the review i red that it has poor camera. Is that true?. I need normal camera with good sound effect.

              waiting for reply

                          This phone has become a problem for me recently.
                          I just had my 2nd one replaced from warranty cause the phone keeps crashing on me. I narrowed it down to a memory card issue. With the 2nd phone replacement I took out the memory card after the phone froze up and then the phone went back to normal. I put the memory card back in, it freezes up etc.

                          So I upgraded from a 1 GB memory car to a new 2 GB card. The new memory card worked for about a day and then it froze up on me and now it does the same thing where it freezes the phone up again.
                          Any thoughts on this very annoying issue and possibly what issue is this time?

                              The sound of this one is better, and your library is updated faster as with the 3110c, got that one before my 5310. The music app is also a lot faster in case of the 5310.

                              The 3110c is the ideal phone to know where u want to go, if u choose for music you'll look for an XpressMusic...that's what I did after h

                                  It's a good phone, and its normal that it has 2 speakers at the inside but 3 holes...
                                  Got it for 3 months and using it with a 4gb card and the bh-503 headset.
                                  No problems encountered till now.
                                  Only bad point is the camera if u take pics with less light than a rainy day.
                                  Music quality is great. The only problem is that when the keypad is locked u can't use the music buttons anymore.

And if it does any problem we can understand that update of software is necesarry now. Overall the phone is awesome in a budget price. Music player has a killing sound, camera is good too, memory also good,
