    just got this phone as my reward for staying connected with Sun Cellular for 2 years. but i had to cash out a minimal amount of money..

    the price of the phone itself here in the Philippines is roughly Php 5,500-6,000. not but for the unit itself. looks elegant. i got the red one but the blue one looks better (too bad they dont have stock the time i got mine) the battery can last up to 3-4 days without listening to music and about 2 days when listening. charging takes a long time. i dont know if thats normal. charging the 5130xm takes 4 HOURS!!! (my other SE phones takes only about an hour. contrary to the review on this site, it has a flight mode activation.
    this phone is for you if you want to have a normal call/text fone with an added xpress music bonus..

    feel free to ask me any questions that you have regarding this fone.

    ciao! ^_^

          Does those headphones with remote (like the AD-54 that comes with the 5800) work with this phone? ie the "forward", "reverse" "play/pause" button work?

          thanks

                  I'm pretty happy with mine. Great music player! I'm a bit concerned about battery power though.

                  From a full charge, I got about 3-4 hrs of music (using a headphone amplifier) at a moderately loud volume, about 1.5 hrs of talk time and maybe 200 incoming and outgoing text messages combined.

                  It's only the 3rd charge though, but I can't get more than a day and half out of it. How about you guys?

                      I've buy this phone for couples of week,I think this phone lack of something.The sound is great if u know how to set the equalizer propely.The camera is good,but the video recording is kind of low quality compare to my old handphone,Nokia 3110 Classic.The battery dont last longer if u open GPRS connection for long period of time.But,one thing I like,the design.

                        Chetan, 03 Jul 2009Wrong Info. has been posted in this SITE such as: Phone ... moreFlight Mode is not there in the original configuration...it was only added recently into the last firmware....

                        Also memory card support is 16 Gb and not 2 Gb...Even nokia has acknowledged it. Look at the compatible phns list in nokia site for the 16Gb microsd card and you can see 5130 among them. And please don't talk abt things that you knw little.

                            Im thinkin to buy this one after checking the next phones:

                            LG KP330
                            Motorola EM28
                            Samsung S3600
                            Samsung F250
                            and this one

                            Tell me if this nokia worth's it instead of the other phones, now i have a question, after checking the camera part of the review, there is some sort of a config on this cellphone to reduce the images resolution from 1600x1200 to 1024x768 to remove quality issues and not taking 'excesive resolution images'??

                              Overall Nice Phone

                                        At my phone, the lights effect work only when you are in the Music menu and for a short period of time. When the screen goes black, the lights also turn off. Is this normal, can it be configured?
