    I just bought it about a few days ago from Softlogic in Sri Lanka. I must say that I am very impressed with the phone. The slimness of the phones is pretty cool. The quality of the pictures in nothing too specials, but seriously like the quality of the sound. I prefer the 'red' to any other colour ranges. I also like that it is very light in my pocket and is very user friendly like all Nokia phones.

      the only thing that sucks here, it ocasionally restarts by itself, and when it does, youll have to wait until the phone reads the sd card... before using the music player... and.. its xpress music, the camera is a bonus for me... its emphasis is music...

          This N5310 is indeed a slim beauty which features a sleek design.

          I've been using this phone almost a month and I don't see my phone's backlighting luminates unevenly. But still so, I found that the speaker's volume is making aan annoyance. I could've miss more than 5 miss calls especially outdoor.

                    LOL!
                    SE fanboys are just a bunch of jealous kids who can't accept the facts that their phones are no better than Nokia & Samsung.

                    let me quote some words from Mobile-review.com:
                    "Probably, after spotting the Walkman logo, some will imagine its sound-related marvels, but sadly these are only dreams and groundless thoughts. On every single blind test, the Sony Ericsson’s products ended up behind the Ultra Music and the XPressMusic solutions."

                    ROTFL

                        One word to the SE fan boys and girls": "3.5 mm". Hmm.. I guess that's about 5 words actually, but probably even you get the point.

                                just like the two people before me said: the backlight is not uneven it is PERFECT, and I don't have any problems at all with reboot, have you guys tried using the recommended .aac?
                                anywho, backlight rocks, gsmarena repeat your measurements!!

                                  really good review.. well done GA...
                                  well.. guess this fone was released in sep 2007.. and review cpl of days back.. looks like you ppl were waiting for a special piece from nokia, cos not even a single restarting prob is mentioned!!! lol...
                                  it restarts :
                                  1: whenever ear phone jack is connected
                                  2: if u get a call while listening to music...
                                  3: simply when u play songs[.mp3]..didnt check .aac btw.

                                  and moreover.. sometimes the vol keys doesnt work!!! need a restart..
                                  rather.. reboot.. cos it takes time to bring the phone to normal working condition

                                  thats all i noticed...

                                  and the speaker quality.. is simply... irritating.. lots of missed calls ever since i bought this.. guess why

                                    Quite a good phote. Bought it 2 days before this review. Backlight is NOT uneven. Music experience is very good, however phone restarts from time to time (it must be software failure for my recent N6233 had the same problem). No 3G is a drowback, but I don't use it. Camera is worse than 6233, but one usually uses his/her camera for taking photos, not a cell phone. N5310 is very small and light, screet might have been a little bigger, but still it's very sharp.
                                    All in all, I don't regret buying this one.

                                      1. why do you complain about the memory card slot being under the battery cover?? many other phones have that but you don't say anything bad about it (e.g. SE w890: http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_ericsson_w890-review-201p2.php# )

                                      2. the backlighting is not uneven at all, it must be your strange russian one because all 5310s I've tested have exceptional backlighting, even and clear, I actually though about that before I read your review

                                      your reviews are important for people buying a new phone, be more careful about what you say and be less arbitrary..

                                        "The sonic experience can be enhanced by an equalizer and a stereo expansion function"...where is the option of stereo expansion??
                                        what about restarting problem?? didn't u guys experience any restart while playing music??
