"Once up and running, GREAT phone!"
Pros: clear loud call quality; great music functions; slim and sturdy
Cons: three different computers could not read phone; not 3G; no flash with camera
Summary: PROS:
* Fantastic music player (it plays with a 4gb card perfectly)
* Great call quality
* Small, thin, but sturdy
* I've always owned nothing but Nokia phones (most recent being 6126 and 6230). The 5310 reminds me of the 6230, but with better graphics, more memory, slimmer, & sleeker!
CONS:
* Not 3G
* problems with computer reading the phone (see above)
* as an unlocked phone, hassle to get network options up and running (e.g., texting, MMS, MediaNet)
* no flash with camera, hence, only takes good pics in bright lighting
* headphones that come with phone are crappy (i.e., don't stay in ears well; differing length of wires on right and left side)
I bought the blue phone, unlocked, and am an AT&T customer. It took a few phone calls to AT&T & Nokia in order to set up web access, text messaging, and multimedia messaging. After HOURS of tech support from Nokia, three different computers have been unable to read the phone either via Nokia's PC Suite or other methods. I ended up purchasing a MicroSD Card USB Reader/Adapter (about $16 at BestBuy) and loaded music and pics onto the MicroSD card using this method. No problems since.
Other than the initial problems getting everything up and running, this phone is a mini marvel! Highly recommended (if you buy unlocked and are patient with set-up).

I bought a factory unlocked 5310 and it worked fine with my AT&T sim but customer support hasn't been able to figure out how to get the MMS or the web working on my phone. Regular texts work fine, just not MMS. How were you able to get the web and MMS working?

Hi,
Would you be able to specify how you setup the phone to work with at&t? I was not able to do so, even after many calls to both Nokia and At*t
Thanks!
