The Rokr E8 has a well-stocked feature set. Besides its music player, there's a 2-megapixel camera with good photo quality, full Bluetooth, an FM radio, 2GB of internal storage, and a "talking phone" application. There's also a full HTML browser, though Web pages don't look great on the (relatively) small display. Still, it wins this round by a nose.

The Rokr E8 and Nokia 5310 are fairly even in terms of features, but the E8 offers something extra that makes a difference; specifically, the music player is more robust and the phone has more internal memory.
5

The features on both phones are pretty identical. Both have a music player, and both have a 2.0-megapixel camera. However, the Rokr E8 nudges out the Nokia 5310 because its music player is just better.

The 5310 offers a comparable features set, but its photo quality is inferior and its internal memory is a dinky 7.3MB.
3

As a music-centric phone, it's pretty disappointing to learn that the Nokia 5310 only had 7.3MB of internal memory. Sure, there's an expansion slot, but that's still pretty pathetic. Also, there's no quad-band support.
