"Itty Bitty Fun Phone!"
Pros: Super tiny, amazing sound, sharp screen, FM Radio!
Cons: Super tiny, confusing (for me) interface, terrible photo quality
Summary: I've always had very basic pay-as-you-go phones . So, my flashy new red Nokia 5310 came as a surprise. This thing is so tiny I thought it was just printed material in the box. It doesn't feel cheap though. Has a nice feel in the hand with some weight for such a little thing.
I'm also a PSP owner so I had to buy something else for music. (not funny) The Nokia sounds fantastic through earphones or with it's own speaker. How Nokia can get that much volume out of that small package and Sony can't make the PSP even be heard in a quiet room next to my ear I'll never know! And, you get FM radio that sounds great to boot! (only through the phones though)
I find call quality to be excellent! I have made and received calls from a variety of locations and never been disappointed. Much to the chagrin of my friends with different carriers who swear it's been my old phone or carrier that sucked.Not so.
The tiny screen on the tiny phone is amazingly bright and crisp. It's just fine for viewing tiny photos and tiny little videos as well as playing tiny little games. Just don't expect to be taking really good tiny little pictures with the camera function. It's amazingly horrible! I may be hypercritical here but, even my old Virgin Cyclops had much better photo quality. However, it is a music phone, not a camera phone and it does music very well!
My biggest issue with the Nokia 5310 is the overall menu layout. This may be due to my inexperience with "plan" cell phones. I'll probably figure it all out with no problems at all. However, there are a lot of commonly used functions that are buried deep within menus. I think I can rearrange them but, I don't know how yet.
Overall, I'm very pleased with my new Nokia.
