Awesome, Tiny, Phone
This phone is perfect for anyone looking for a small, lightweight phone packed with capabilities! I really enjoy the normal sized stereo jack, no need for special headphones now. The speakerphone is very high quality and produces great sound from mp3's and voice. Tmobile is what I use with this phone. Nice messenger support and email support including gmail and AIM. removal SD card, micro usb support, and even an FM tuner! Good battery life and display. It can also play videos you upload to it after converting to 3gp.
I upgraded to this from a 4 year old phone -- and it is so much better. I plan on purchasing a larger micro SDHC card (4gb) and bluetooth speaker headphones. This is replacing my normal MP3 player!
Only thing i would have added to this is the addition of a reflective mirror next to the camera so I can better take self portraits with friends.
great size 4 outdoors type person/battery life could be better
I bought this at full price at the Tmobile Store, in order to avoid 2 year committment.
I put a skin on it, and wear it in a very small leather gizmo that slides through my beltloops every morning, never gets lost.
Very good if you are a bicycle rider or walker, its there but you dont notice it.
I had the ipod shuffle, and the little sony music stick, they both died in short order. This phone plays nearly as well as the ipod shuffle. (I use my shuffle earphones on this phone).Hint, don't use the special software for transferring music from your pc, just follow instructions and do the drag and drop method, it is much easier.
The camera is 2mp, but not the greatest indoors. It takes very nice pictures in good light outdoors.
Can accomodate micro memory card up to 4gb (a good brand costs less than $20). That is a lot of music. Good fm player too.
You can get a little bit of internet for free with tzones/web to go. (cnn,espn, weather etc).
Can also add more internet if you want to pay, (9.99 a month), but have to have a voice plan with Tmobile to do so.(I only have prepaid)
Phone call voices and feature work great, as do the word program,alarm, etc.
Very happy with the little device, only wish the battery lasted longer. Have to charge it about every other day.
A little bit of everything on this, camera, music, internet, phone, extras.
Very popular device, search the internet, and a lot of accessories available for it.
Happy Days to you!
Another perfect choice from Nokia
I have been true to Nokias ever since I started using mobiles and every time I get a new one I am pleasantly surprised. 5310 is no exception to this rule.
5310 offers everything I expect from a Nokia - sleek design (slim and fairly light), nice colours (nothing too flashy), sturdy materials and easy to operate software.
The screen is just the right size to use the internet and the connection is just OK to suit my needs that is checking information such as weather, movies, rates of exchange etc. I wouldn't recommend it, however, for reading long newspaper articles, however, the letters are a little to small.
The musical part is well done (the mobile even comes with a pair of small loudspeakers which is a very nice idea in theory but nothing very practical in everyday use) and I can't help but appreciate the handy controls on the outside. This Nokia basically made my ipod a fashion accessory - why carry a mobile and an ipod if mobile offers most of ipod's functions?
There is also a camera - good enough to take pictures which will show on the screen to let you know who is calling and snapshots but their quality is only a little above acceptable so don't throw away your camera before you check it out thoroughly - and a radio, a nice addition (headphones, naturally included) although you should be prepared to recharge the battery quite often if you're addicted to listening all the time.
In short - if you're shopping for small, sleek, light mobile phone with all the basic functions plus some added musical ones, this is your perfect choice. It's hard to get anything better for the money.
