 Worthless June 28, 2008
I bought this phone on amazon back in september. What it succeeds at is being a decent phone with the features that you probably desire if you are reading this review. It fails at what you need to use it for: talking on the phone. I really want to be fair with this review and give you a good idea of what I experienced, so I will talk about the things I genuinely liked about the phone along with another (longer) list of what I didn't like.
But my verdict is very clear: this device is terrible!
In summary--
The good:
-Probably has the features you're looking for a mid-range phone.
-Excellent music/speaker quality
-Intuitive interface. Very easy to navigate from my experience.
-Very easy to load your own music/ringtone to the phone if you want to load your own music.
-Got good reception most places, but not great. Call quality was good.
-Bright screen that looks sharp.
The bad:
-You can't hear the phone when it rings (exaggerating a little here, but it is very quiet) even at the highest volume.
-You can't feel the phone when it vibrates.
-You cannot hear ANYONE on the other end. Even with the volume turned all the way up. I'm surprised more reviews don't talk about this.
-EXTREMELY bad at filtering out background noise! Awful! Make sure you're in a perfectly quiet room when you try to call somebody.
-The camera is HORRENDOUS! I'm aware it is only 1.3 MP, but even for that resolution it is extremely poor. All pictures look grainy and out of focus regardless of lighting. It might as well not even have a camera. You're better off bringing a pencil and paper and drawing what you see.
-This phone is plastic and very poorly manufactured, It feels like it could fall apart in your hands. Very cheap looking and feeling (pictures on this site make it look better than it really is).
-Keys on the music player require too much force to press and are cheap-feeling, don't even bother.
-Screen scratches easily. Looks ugly to begin with, will look even worse after a week.
-HORRIBLE battery life! Even when just using the phone for talking, you're lucky if it lasts a full day.
On June 26, 2008, I finally said goodbye to the XpressMusic 5300. Or rather, it said goodbye to me. The phone exploded in my pocket, signaling that it had enough.
Nice phone, decent music player May 8, 2008
No IPOD, but works fine as a phone, durable. Music player is good enough, software from Nokia doesn't always cooperate.

I want to say this is a great phone and for the most part it's pretty good and it looks like consumers are fairly pleased with the phone. However, when I first got the phone, I wasn't fully pleased with it. The sound and reception was great. Music was easy to upload. Texting was easy to use and sent in a flash. Talk time and standby was horrible. It seemed liked it had all these awesome features but they battery wasn't able to keep up with it all. Playing games, taking picures or listening to music ran down the battery very fast. Even if I barely used my phone, the battery would get low. I thought this phone would be nice to have for my bus ride to work, but I knew if I listened to music on the way there, I wouldn't have much talk time left in case of emergency. I could've had a faulty battery...who knows. The shape and style was awesome however, the phone didn't seem very durable and the silver plastic piece where your ear would go was starting to peel off and I had only had the phone for 2 weeks! The slider feature was pretty cool although it was my first slider phone and it was easy to hang up on people if you're chatting and multi-tasking. I ended up trading the phone in for the Samsung Blast before my buyers remorse was up. I'm happy with the Samsung Blast, but I love my Nokias! If it wasn't for the horrible battery life, I would've stuck with this phone...
Not a good phone April 12, 2008

This may be a good music player but it is NOT a good phone. After 8 months of regular use the buttons aren't working to go through the menu options and it gets "stuck" on certain pages or options. This phone is Nokia, supposedly one of the better phones for reception, and the reception is terrible and it is not because service is strong or weak.
not very good April 6, 2008

The phone felt fragile. Not very good. It looks better in the picture but feels too platic like in real.
Returned it, Amazon handled the return fairly well.
