i have had this phone for almost three months now, the phone is slim its a pretty good phone. but it keeps on freezing, and it sometimes deletes new phone entries, and it sometimes takes awhile for the phone to load all the data.

    the phone as such is ok but the mp3-player is not up to the job - the only good thing is the 3.5 jack to connect any headphone.
    The synchronization (doesn´t matter if the Nokia suite or any other tool is used) takes forever, it doesn´t always copy the cover artwork, it re-arranges the albums (if it copies them completely).

    So if you want a phone that plays music sometimes its fine but don´t use it as a replacement for your regular player.
    Any cheap supermarket player will do better than this.

      by using t-mobile, this phone has a very poor reception. All my others (family) have 5 bars and mine has 1-2. Not sure it's as just this particular one or was the model itself. Just can't use it the way i use my others. other than than that i like the phone. I will xchange. Like the phone but just not serve me good.

            ive owned this phone since 7.9.2008 and i had the sidekick 3 before, which if anyone knows is about completely different. but i loved my sidekick but was ready for an upgrade that wasnt too expensive. i do alot of reseach before i buy a phone and i have to say my nokia 5310 is everything i thought it would be. its so mych better than the sidekick. one of the main reasons i purchased my nokia was because it was so customizable! gotta love the themes n different kinda wallpaper and ringtones and font styles and colors. also i love how you can find sites to get the wallpaper/themes and ringtones n music without spending any money.& i love the cameras 2mp compared to the sidekick's 1.3mp. the music player is really nice to, the speakers are real loud and clear. the only draw back that ive found is for some reason when i try and download applications like opera mini 4.1 and etc... dont work on my phone i always get an error msg saying "applicattion setting set to not allowed" and someone during a phone call the volume is a bit low. but other than that it is a really good and id suggest this phone to anyone that loves to customize their phone and has some pretty awesome features.

                        i hv been using this phone for more than a month. its a beuty.. wats more it can be handled very roughly n still its d same
                        some of the reviews here says d phone hangs.. well mine hasnt hung up even once.. its pretty fast too.. openin appliations takes no time on this..
                        the best part is d music.. i bet its comparable to an ipod
                        its user friendly as well
                        for d price u hv to pay to own this one.. i think its a fair dael
                        trust me this phone wont let u down
                        go for it!

                              WARNING: If you get this phone in the US from T-Mobile beware! You cannot fully configure the navi keys/shortrcuts. T-Mobile had them locked and you are stuck having a primary key( the right navi-key) dedicated to 'T-Zones' with it's accompanying icon on your screen forever.
