I love this phone, i bought a case to protect it, and even so it scratches a bit but the plactic that covers the LCD is very flimsy and when i was pulling it off carefully the adhesive on one part was stronger that the plastic broke in half I've been really anal about taking care of my phone but i do admit the plastic is really weak otherwise i have no other complains the photo quality is also amazing

I purchased a Nokia 5300 Xpress Music phone 11 days ago. The screen broke yesterday, it was in my purse, it was not dropped or abused in anyway. The only thing that could have happened was it laying against the snap on my wallet. I found out my daughter has a friend with the same phone that also broke their screen with very little pressure. Thank God for the 14 day return policy at TMobile because I was able to take it back (had to argue with the employee until the manager instructed him that it was within the policy to return it w/a $25 fee for the damage). While I was at the store, a girl came in and she had the Nokia 5300, her screen was broken also (but still usable) and she said that this was her 2nd Nokia 5300 that had broken in the same way. Her brother also used his thumb on the screen to slide it up and it broke were his finger was. This is obviously a problem that needs to be addressed by Nokia or TMobile immediately. How many reviews saying the screen breaks too easily before someone takes notice?

THIS PHONE IS GREAT I HAVE NEVER HAD A PHONE THIS EASY TO USE, EVEN THOUGH I CAN PICK UP A RANDOM PHONE AND USE IT JUST LIKE THAT BUT ITS SO EASY TO TRANSFER MUSIC AND ETC, ITS GOOOD BECAUSE IT CONVERTS MUSIC INTO ''OPTIMISED MOBILE FORMAT'' OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT SO ITS VERY SMALL MUSIC FILE BUT STILL HAS GREAT SOUND QUALITY by using the earphones!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!,UNTIL YOU START MESSING AROUND WITH BASS THEN IT GETS FUZZY.... I CANNOT FAULT THE CAMERA I PREVIOUSLY HAD A MOTOROLA L7 WHICH WAS LOYAL BUT THE FEATURES JUST WERENT WHAT I LIKED ANYMORE WETHER AS THIS HAS RADIO,PROPRER MUSIC PLAYER AND I CAN EVEN GET A SORT OF SAT NAV WHERE IT PINPOINTS YOU TO WHERE YOU ARE AND ALL YOU CAN DO IS ZOOM OUT OR IN. ALL IN ALL VERY GOOD PHONE WITH AN AMAZING DISPLAY IT BEATS THE CRAP OUT OF THE DISPLAY ON MY 6 MEGAPIXEL CAMERA SO THAT MUST BE AN ACHIEVMENT BUT NOW THIS IS MY 3RD NOKIA IN ALL MY LIFE AND EVERYSINGLE ONE OF THEM HAS BEEN A SIC PHONE..... .

I was stupid enough tod rop my phone (just the once), and all my Numbered keypad button lights went out. I dont like the fact that you cnat get rid of the horrible pre-loaded songs on the phone. However for �120, its a great phone. The audio, video and image quality are all excellent, and the media buttons just make the phone even better.

Ive had this phone twice first time i was sent a replacement due to the fact that the memory card packed up, and the second time it had to go back due to the fact that the camera worked but you couldnt look at the file, also that it fell a short distance to the floor the lense cracked, dont get me wrong it is a lovley phone but when it goes wrong it goes wrong. all of the while that it is working it is a pleasure to have.

I had my first Nokia 5300 for 3 weeks, the battery life was extremely poor, when u turned it back, it would lose some of the settings, i.e time and date. I didn't realises until i returned the phone and rec'd another one that a lot of the options were missing. Although I like the colour and it's a good size, will see how it goes.

i have had this phone for about 2 weeks now and so far i am impressed for how much i would of had to pay if i wasnt on it with contract �120 is the 02 price,when i got the phone the first thing i noticed was the slide it was ok but sometimes you could hear it grazing together if you put a little pressure on it whilst sliding after having a play about with it i noticed the screen was really good almost as good as asmart phones screen which tend to be crisp and clear also the battery power is a dissapointment but i am still recharging and discharching the phone for maximum performance as i like to know i have a lot of power left for my music and other things the camera is good but it lets you down when recording videos only a 178 by 120 picture or something close to that region but i am very pleased with the sound quality out of the earphones but obviously sony's are designed to fit right into the ear for more bass and better quality of sound, another thing is the wid e range of music compatibility from aac+ to wma is a decent range of formats so dont worry about spending hours converting then transferring. overall i do like this phone and i just hope it lasts me a year

Cute design and size but the plastic material is way too cheap, the corner cracked the first drop (T_T) Camera is awful on this thing plus the MMS only limit picture size to 640x480! My old Samsung never resize photos before sending (same resolution camera) Speaker is better than average and I like the radio feature. The requirement of radio extension or head phone is a bit annoying though :( Overall, not a bad phone but I will not keep it around for long...

Well what can I say, dead impressed with this phone! Like a few people have said the battery life isn't that great, but I think that's because I've only just got it and I've been playing with it none stop! lol. Sounds quality is amazing and the camera is THE best I have seen on a mobile phone. Would and already have recomended it to people my best friend has already copied me after me having it for TWO days!!! The Nokia 5300 is an amazing phone and I don't think I have any more to say with out just blabbling on and about it's aswumness! Thanks for reading, God bless xxx.

Love it! I have this phone for a week now and it still has no problems. MP3 is great, especially in earphones. To some people who had this phone and says that it breaks easily, maybe its because you don't take care of it well, and it is not about the camera, its about the music! Good Job Nokia! Keep it up!

Having had the phone a couple of weeks, I'm generally very pleased with it. Being a proper grown up, was a bit concerned about the Tonka Toy looks (ask your parents, kids), and it does need taking care of to keep it looking good - I've found that the screen scratches quite easily. However, the sound quality through a decent pair of headphones is phenomenal (if you have the adaptor) and pretty good even through the ear drop ones supplied, and as a music freak this has been something of a boon - this was the main reason I plumped for this phone in the first place. The camera quality is also very good, but not exceptional, and all the other features do pretty much everything I need (calendar, calculator, games (very good graphics - think almost PS1!), good predictive text etc etc). If you want a music based phone it's fantastic, but very obviously aimed at the youth market.

An absolute dog of a phone..Kept mines for a couple of weeks during which time there was not one single day where I didn't have to re-charge it. Keep the music player on for even a couple of hours and watch that battery die. Quite a nice looker on the outside and the buttons for the music player were great. Sound not a patch on Sony Ericsson's Walkman phones though and the earphones supplied with the handset are terrible. Slide mechanism again isn't up to scratch. Somebody from Nokia needs to infiltrate Samsung's factory and find out how they do it ! It's quite cheap (for a reason) but I would still not reccommend it to anybody.
