The Nokia 5300 XpressMusic beats the iPod Nano


Nokia has released a new phone that I find interesting, the Nokia 5300 XpressMusic. It can hold 1,500 songs on a 2G microSD card. It comes with a 1.3-megapixel camera, that's clear! (Well, it's a lot clearer than my current camera phone, haha!) There are dedicated music keys on the side of the phone, which is part of the phone's unique design and charm. The phone comes in two colors - black and red.

Why am I so fascinated with this phone? Because my cousin bought one and I instantly fell in love with this phone when she started to play mp3 songs in loud speaker. The sound really has superior sound quality, as the nokia website says. My cousin is also able to hook up her Nokia 5300 to her car. This beats the Nano!

This phone is also price friendly. You can get one for PHP 12,500. This is the same price range as the iPod Nano...

I am considering buying this phone. My old Samsung E-600 is frustrating at times. For some weird reason, it can't even do basic phone services such as caller ID unless I save a person's number twice. I love Samsung, it's cute and easier for me to use than Nokia phones, but this phone unit I have is not working well. Time to replace? hmm...

interesting! i think i wanna have a phone like that, too. i've always been fascinated on phones that have special features for music. my current phone can only store up to 12 songs tops. it's actually okay that i get to use it when i travel to and from the office. but lately, its been going nuts. perhaps its cause ive had this phone for a little more than a year? im not sure...anyway, im considering to get a new phone. this one's really interesting.

how about the cost? would you have any idea how much this phone is? (im too lazy to look it up on the internet. heehee) :)

seems to be a nice unit. looking at the design and technology, it appears that Nokia is trying it's best to be at par with Sony Ericson's Walkmanphones™. try checking out Ericson's new releases, i'm sure you'll find a better unit.
