Design
The 5300's slider design features a large display that sports an impressive 240 x 320 resolution and support for over 200,000 colors. Even with the slider closed, the 5300 features great music and call control. There are music control keys on the left side and volume adjustment keys on right side of the phone, while a stylish five-way center button resides just below the display. Slide the phone open to reveal its easy to use backlit keypad. The phone's 1.3-megapixel camera lens is discreetly housed on the left edge of the phone. A built-in mini-USB 2.0 port is provided, as well as Bluetooth stereo headset compatibility. The built-in hot-swappable microSD memory expansion slot is compatible with cards up to 2 GB of capacity.

Calling Features
The 5300 supports polyphonic ringtones, as well as MP3-based ringers so you can load your favorite sound effects and music clips to alert you of incoming calls. Plus, with the phone's picture and ringer ID functions, you can assign pictures and ringtones to your most common callers. For when you need to be discreet, there's also a vibrate ringer mode. Meanwhile, voice activated dialing makes calling your friends, family, and associates as easy as saying their names. The 5300's built-in contacts list and phone book will keep track of all your contacts with its ample storage capacity. Lastly, there's an integrated speakerphone for talking hands-free, and the phone's Bluetooth connectivity means that your favorite Bluetooth headset is fully compatible (for music listening, you can still use your favorite wired headphones with the Nokia 2.5mm AV connector, sold separately).

Other calling features include compatibility with T-Mobile's myFaves service, which allows you to call up to five of your most common contacts--on any network, even landlines--without using any of your minutes. Learn more about myFaves.

Messaging, Internet and Tools
The 5300 is a mobile messaging and Internet powerhouse. With support for the MMS (multimedia messaging service), the phone can send picture and text messages, and when coupled with the phone's powerful camera, MMS opens up great opportunities for robust messaging. The phone ships with a built-in email client that supports POP3, IMAP, and SMTP protocols.

Getting on the Internet is easy with the 5300. It supports the GPRS data protocol, as well as the high-speed EDGE wireless data service. When used with your carrier data plan and the phone's USB or Bluetooth data capability, the phone can be used as a wireless modem for laptops and PDAs. The phone is bundled with a mobile Web browser, too, offering hearty Web browsing abilities right on the phone. Meanwhile, T9 text entry, a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit--a plus for mobile email and text messaging users.

The 5300 supports PC synchronization via USB or Bluetooth, which means you can manage and synchronize contacts, calendar and other data with your PC. Nokia's PC Suite application makes this process a breeze. A number of handy software tools are bundled with the 5300 including a voice memo recorder, a calculator, a calendar, a to-do list, and an alarm clock.

Imaging and Entertainment
The Nokia 5300 can hold over 100 albums worth of music (approximately 1500 tracks) on a 2 GB microSD card. Thanks to dedicated music keys, you can easily control the playback of music while simultaneously enjoying other functions such as texting, browsing, or taking pictures. For an even louder groove, you can plug in your favorite headphones or external speakers with a 3.5mm headset jack by simply connecting them to the 5300 using the inbox adapter. The 5300 can swiftly transfer albums and music collections to and from a PC using a standard micro USB connector or Bluetooth. When traveling, you can use the Nokia Wireless Audio Gateway (sold separately) to stream music collections and favorite playlists wirelessly to any supported stereo from the 5300.

No one-hit wonder, the Nokia 5300 also comes with the latest messaging functions complemented by a 1.3-megapixel camera. The camera features a selftimer, an 8x digital zoom, and can be used to capture video and view video playback. You can even view video playback in landscape mode, and the volume keys double as zoom keys when the camera mode is activated. And don't forget about the games! The phone supports Java gameplay and other Java-based applications.

The 5300 also sports an airplane mode feature, which allows the user to safely use the non-wireless functions of a phone (such as music, games, or organizer functions) on an airplane during flight.

Vital Statistics
The Nokia 5300 weighs 3.76 ounces and measures 3.64 x 1.90 x .81 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 3.20 hours of digital talk time, up to 223 hours of digital standby time, and up to 12 hours of music playback time.

Customer Reviews:

Back cover of phone is not covered by warranty........2007-11-21

Just to let anyone who is interested in this phone...the back cover is not covered by your warranty with T-mobile. So, if you just happen to lose it or break it, T-mobile will send you everything else (the phone itself, charger, etc), but without the back cover. Don't ask me why they don't cover it--I thought that was pretty weird b/c without the back cover, the phone is nothing! The battery will fall off! Also, the manufacturer doesn't carry it either so, thank goodness for ebay! My phone is functional again! The guy from Nokia I talked to said that I should have called them first (the manufacturer)to repair it, b/c they replace everything, but check first anyways before sending your stuff to them.

The phone itself has been good to me though, but I do wish it was a little bit slimmer. T-mobile customer service is questionable though.

great phone overall--speaker problem.......2007-10-30

I have had my phone for close to a year now. I traded in from the Razr to this phone because I was told it has a better signal that it's motorola counterpart. Not the Razr but the product with a lot of the same to offer.
The only complaint I have at all is my speaker doesn't work properly which results in missing calls or not able to use the speakerphone.
Aside from that, this phone is awesome!

Wished The Voice Recorder Had More Than A Minute.......2007-10-18

I just received the Nokia 5300 a few days ago. One thing I found out was that the voice recorder could not record more than one minute. It looks like it can, but after talking to Nokia twice over the phone, recording more than a minute was not available for this phone. Didn't make sense to me that you can choose the miniSD card to put your voice recordings on, and not be able to record more than a minute. Plus, you can record while talking on the phone - but only for one minute!

Everything else about this phone is great! I do highly recommend reading the pro's and cons of other reviewers. I have a Microsoft Vista laptop and it worked great with it - for those wondering if it will work with Vista.

Don't buy this phone!!!!.......2007-09-29

This phone has horrible reception with t-mobile. The only thing I like about it is the music player. I use it at the gym and the volume is great it's easy to use, but sucks if you try using it to talk. I could hear the person on the other line saying hello repeatedly as I screamed can you hear me now?!! I've read other reviews where people said the reception was great but for me from the day I got the phone it wasn't.

pretty good.......2007-09-10

This is not the best phone ever made. It is not the worst phone ever made.

It is above average in nearly every regard. My faults with the phone are:
The slide mechanism isn't very smooth.
It's only a triband: 1900/850/1800 which means its next to useless a lot of places outside the country.

Favorite features:
1gb of memory standard. This was the highest memory sold with any major carrier phone when it was released.
Easy music and camera controls.
