  • Hello symbian freaks, I have to bypass the security code on Nokia 5300, I'm trying whole day without success. I tried master code, by IMEI I think it's not working I tried 3-4 generators, I tried JAF, can't find the device... I tried to reset the setting by *#7780# and format with *#7370# I can't write * and # , but there's a trick when it's asking you for the password you can write 911 and click phone button and it's starting an emergency call you wait until it fail, and then you can write those secret codes, however it's not working too... I tried, NSS, but there's "Scan for product... Error!" Here is the log Checking Framework...Done. ->..pdginterfc.dll version: 1.0.479 ->....pdg4fbus.dll version: 1.0.1641 ->....pdg4mbus.dll version: 1.0.106 ->.....pdg4fls.dll version: 1.0.1164 ->....pdg4flsc.dll version: 1.0.0.58 ->pdgphonebook.dll version: 1.0.189 ->.bb5usbflash.dll version: 1.0.0.42 Reading Virtual USB device...Done. ->Serial: 9FB48804, HW: 0.0 Testing Interfaces... ->USB DKU2....Supported. ->USB CA-53...Supported.

I think the problem is I have to turn on the phone in pc suite mode, but I can't do it because I can't access it from the password that is required... Please any information and help is strongly appreciated... P.S I'm not talking about SIM card locking, but an phone locking

  • Still got this phone until now, in 2014 though I have an android and a nokia windows phone right now, occasionally I still use this phone brings back some good memories in my college life...

  • I am Suffering to the same case.

  • very good

  • I like this phone very much. Until now I still use my 5300. This is my first sliding nokia phone. It's been 7 years since I bought this but I never changed any of it's parts. Literally even the housing.

  • this mobile is very good then asha 305 i comporsmised this to asha 305

  • i have never seen a phone made with a perfection likemy 5300has hats off to n

  • u can get flex cable anywhere at just rs. 150 to 200..so buy it n enjoy with ur first ever phone!! I'm also using it since last 6 years!!

  • why doesnt it support whatsapp.

  • I miss this phone..this is my very first phone..a gift when i was already a freshman college at 2007 it last for about 3 years with harsh usage until the flex cable gave up:D then followed by my 5530 which still functional until now heres my pros and cons.. pros -clear and moving icons which i think other phones nowadays dont have -music guy friendly..easy to change stations,music. -good quality loudspeaker for a small phone -small..pocketfriendly -user friendly phone..slide to unlock.lol) -tons of compatible games..themes and apps.. -though 1.3 is just a front facing camera nowadays.but with a high resolution for a small screen still a good quality camera esp in night mode..(i compared my pics from my front facing cam of my android phone..5300's pic quality owns!) -good video recording sound and in low light even without flash. -good battery life..my friend's 5300 last a whole daytime with estimated 2 hour allocated in games and 1 hour music loudspeaker,and 4 hours in headphone(BIG HEADPHONE!..while mine drains fast within 6 hours standy by time..maybe due to usage abuse when its still new..hehe) -last..but not the least..very durable..threw and drop mine several times..texted while under the rain. even took video and pics! lol..but it still survived! cons: -red and white version..(my version)..red rubber part attracts dirt easily.i dont about the blue,,but the black color which came later resolved it. -no flash in camera. -cant play mp4..only 3gp vids..cant play movies -hard to change cover and keypads.. -large usb wire..tiny headphone jack..not universal.. -cant send games via bluetooth and infrared. -no "file man".. -cant play vid via music player its a very good phone..i remember my college life with this phone!now im already a professional.. Im hoping to buy a brand new of this even i have a good new android phone now..thanks nokia! :D

  • 7 years old - just got new shell for it at a market stall. Was the last 5300 in Europe, just before Woolworths closed. Bring back the days of uncrippled Star Trek technology..runs compass, biorhythm, blockz, supermario, operamini 4.4 with all the old functions... Lens fell out, but glued back, good photos. Screensaver & wallpaper, swf. Stereo radio with equaliser...

  • Please update the version.. To much hang problem.. I'm fade up of this fone...

  • I had bought this phone on 19.08.2007. This is the first 5300 in Trivandrum city with full black colour, as I had purchased the same on the very first day of its launch in the city. The handset has clocked total usage of 1216:34:22 till now.I strongly believe that this is the ever successful sliding phone introduced by Nokia in Indian market. I madly admire this phone and hence, I have no plans for upgrading to an android one. I had replaced the battery once and the cover has also been replaced once. I am planning to use this phone till its last breath. I love my 5300...

  • Go to Settings> Tone settings> Select Incoming call alert> Change it into 'Ringing' option (I think your phone is set in 'Ascending' option.

  • I'm still using this phone for last five years as a phone & pc modem. Till now i haven't a single problem on it. Thanks, Team Nokia for such a great invention.

  • I bought this 5300 several months ago. I really like it. But why is the ringtone or the message tone starts ringing in a low volume then it gets loud after 5 seconds of ringing even if i set the volume at max. Is there any fix for this? Or should I modify the firmware?

  • Yeah, it's my problem too on my 5300. I'm a Filipino too man :)

  • I have been using since 2006, still going strong with sweet music--a happy experience with nokia

  • I am using this phone 6 year's this is very good fhone...

  • I am using this phone for five years its good but its rubber casing is so weak

  • Can u say frankly is it so nice phone

  • I'm currently usin Nokia 5300 xpress music , i bought it , in 2005 , i'm using it from 7 year , it's condition so pure ,but i never will buy any latest handset ,frankly do u know why ? let me tell u it's headfone sound it's too awesome , i know that latest handset never will give me that awesome sound. . . . .

  • Am currently using this phone but i think it needs some modifications like wats app and other applications to make it modern and stylish.

  • i bought this phone in july 2007.. still it is working well with no fault.. i only changed its battery twice

  • I had this brilliant phone. It's nice to remember the times, when music went loud out of this phone, and when nokia didn't made shit, but after 6 years, phone broke, was some tears, but after 2 weeks mum bought meh the new one, and I have it now.

  • The phone is a saviour its nice

  • and plus, this ribbon cable thingy also can badly affect the LCD screen perfomances.

  • i think u should check the "LCD flex ribbon cable". it might be the main problem. many users do not realize its importancy. infact, majority of the slider kinda' style on every phone's brands or models had to face this problem sooner or later. ps: u can google it to get more info based on the parts name that i gave u above.

  • i still have this phone from years ago. its compact and reliable. when my smartphone breaks i go back and use it. i have a stylish all black one.

  • It keeps going off after 2 to 3 minutes. What could be wrong and how can I get help from the manufacturers?

  • I Buy This Phone 5 years ago but Music are so nice

  • Yes that's true

  • its a nice phone .. i remember good old days.. thanks to nokia.

  • this is the only handset, in which i got everything. i love my phone very much. it is mobile temple to me. thanks god, u r so great.

  • I have used this phone before and it was good. The price was pretty expensive when new in 2007. For that price, I thought I'd get something premium. The build quality was exceptional but the material used was terrible. You hold it, you feel like it's just a cheap plastic phone. But that's not what it was designed for. The software is good and the music performance was exceptional. Probably the best! I've seen many people still use this phone. This belongs in my hall of fame. A good phone ruined by a terrible material used.

  • Yoo man!! I'm really happy.....Its a very awesome phone....U knw frndzs, i was brought to 2007year....And interesting now have still parfms(2012).....Hip hip hurrrehhh....5300xprsss music ;-)

  • Been using mine for 5 years now and it still works as good as new :) Also the appearance looks new. People are even surprised to see that up-close it's not actually new xD Yeah I love my phone so much, I have no need to buy a smart phone. That phone has even fallen in water two times and survived with no damage. One time it fell on the rocks and I was really surprised that it finally got its display broken...but well, changed the display and everything was fine again. It's clearly an awesome phone for awesome people ;)

  • realy real good and stylish handset .my request to nokia company is pleas same 2 nokia 5300 releas another set pleas.this is realy beautyfull and with his feature also.

  • Battery backup is not such good .. Otherwise its best mobile. . .

  • Um using dis phone since 3 years.Its best phn but battery back is very low n internal memory is jus 5mb..otherwise its best phone...

  • I am using nonia 5300 for 4 years. Most of the function/feature in it are very good but its battery backup is not such good. It comes with BL-5B battery which has standby time not more than 3 days and its fully charged battery plays music player for 3 hours then it gets either low or off. I can not control its brightness. Its inbuilt internet browser is very slow than other 2G mobile. It is a thick and heavy and looks not attractive. The colours of its display are not as bright as in other handsets.

  • I have this phone for 4 years now and it really has the best sound experience on headphones , haven't met any other phone with this volume on headphones !. Srsly best phone ever made by Nokia. Now I'm using a N97 besides touchscreen and movies experience, I can't feel it like the 5300 on entertainment ! :D That's my opinion love this phone !

When I am texting while playing music in loudspeaker mode, the speaker don't play my tracks.. but when I squeeze the speaker part, it plays.. Dropped it many times already .. Do you think that the dropping is the cause of my speaker malfunctioning ? And also my original battery is functioning but lasts only about 5hrs. Pls answer . tnx. :)

  • i agree with dj

  • 5300 is a awesome phone i use it alomost 4 years and i dont have any problem with this phone until now i still use it and the only thing that will be broken is the case.

  • I have beeen using this unit since it was first released here in the philippines.. I did not experienced any problems with it until now that I have used it for about 4-5 years by now , I am facing speaker problem .. sometimes it has sounds and sometimes don't.

  • hi viewers this NOKIA 5300 XPRESS MUSIC is very nice in music hearance and the overall working of the mobile is veru nice and i like this mobile very much thank u nokia for introducing this type of mobiles

  • I like this phone because i like there internet speed .......................... and music sounds ................... there is any new edition

  • I am using nokia 5300, now almost 3 years. In dis period, i have changed d ringer & battery twice. But overall d phone is nice for its sound quality and durability.

  • kindly make a new version of this unit, i really appreciate it if Nokia will make a new higher version of nokia 5300. thanks

  • i like its sound quality

  • i like this model boz i never seen any defect on this mobile .and sound quality is very good.

  • useless fone because of the ribbon

  • Excellent model...i have used this mobile since 2007 till now..no problem till now..

  • Great phone only downside unable to increase memory above 2gb , highly recommend

  • i use this about 2 year. nothing wrong with it.i listen music all day beczzz speaker so loud. every time i put music on loud speaker my house shaking but everything perfect. but what happened i was cleaning my truck and i dropped on the floor and step on it the screen totally broke. so i bought sidekick slide i use this about 3 month and i hated its sucks. then i bought another phone htc window phone. its good but that phone frezz alot. so my next mistake was i bought nokia n80 its really good but it so so slow. so now im buying nokia n8. so u thing this better for me? plz!

  • It is really a awsome phone. I enjoyed while using it for 4 year. but one small problem is low storage. it is expandable only 2 gb. that's a draw back.

  • It was an awesome phone..i hav use it for 2and half years there is no problem with it

  • I had this phone for 5 years. It is a very durable and good performing phone. Music quality was good enough but lacked just a small "push" to be perfect. I enjoyed having this phone. Camera isn't that good but i was more for music. I no longer have it because the directional buttons stopped working and I couldn't get a quality casing to replace the rubbery thing on the cover which comes off with time. Still there though. I'll get it fixed and give it to my nephew or something. Thanks for reading... Ciao Ralph

Let me just add my experience with nokia here., plenty of models you introduce every year but this one is best of it's music edition kind, especially it's hands free. Request Nokia to do a Reincarnation of 5300.

  • i am using this phone last 3 years, truely ths phon is ausum in every stand. its slding is as new as i bought first time every features r available best phone i ever had.

  • This phone is very complete. I have been using it for more than three years(bought in mid of 2007) facing not many big problems. It serves best as a mp3 and taking daily snaps too. The phone is stylish and a value product. Rating is 8.5/10.

  • tis is the beautiful phone

  • Rafs,u seem a helping hand here. I went 2 nokia care. They told that CHARGING IC needs 2 b replaced. But after keeping me waiting 4 2 hrs,they told that its d problem of POWER IC & hence its "BEYOND REPAIR". I nvr heard a nokia set is beyond repair! Anyways I'm going 2 go 2 another nokia care,check there. I'm using this ph 4 2 yrs & its a sweetheart set. I'm not at all happy with the LIQUID LOCK excuse which they gave. I nvr expected this 4m nokia. But still nokia is d best. I just wish this bad experience not 2 happen anymore & my ph 2 b repaired. Plz comment & tell me if there is any other way out & what do u think in this matter.

  • and i forgot: -if you have 2gb card and very much mp3s (400-1.8gb) it takes 10 minutes to open music player :))(and this with last firmware , 7.2)

  • I had this phone for 3 years.The slide works perfectly.The sound quality is 7/10 ,pretty loud but don't buy this phone:)).The case quality is poor and the battery is very poor(1-2 days)

  • This is a good handset.But it have some problems. 1.remove body very carefully otherwise mic will removed from the board. 2.sliding is damaging very quickly. 3.it's sound is good but when volume is full it doesn't have sound clarity. 4.good handset but internal memory is poor only 5MB. *But one thing everytime this is a lucky phone to me.i'm still using this.

  • the 5300 is boring......the java game is JAR application

  • Go to www.nokia.com >find products>5300 and >5200 and compare and see by yourselves.

  • This phone is nice but has much problems like its memory is poor, music player gets hanged when ur MP3 goes upto 400, battery life is miserably poor. I am using it for d last 2 years and d good qualities are: it supports almost all applications, very nice to look at(slide), supports MP3,AAC,WMA,MP4, 3GP and all music formats etc. It can perform very fast and support 2gb(i m using in my phone from last year). It is more user friendly than any other nokia set in its price.

  • Go to nokia care and tell them ur problem. If u still have ur warrenty, then they ll solve it without any fee.

  • This is a great phone. It lasted me 4 happy years without a problem.

  • 5200 has VGA camera, 5300 has 1.3MP camera..=)

  • I updated the software version from 5.0 to 7.20 from Nokia Care 2 days before. But today whenever I put it in charging,it shows "CHARGER NOT SUPPORTED". I have tried restore/switch on-off/re-insert but it doesn't work. Is there any way out without going to Nokia Care again? PLEASE HELP!

  • Got myself this 4ne and I real like it. High resolution display - thats what I have liked most and thats what first caught my attention.Then came the sound quality which I observed after trying out different head4ne types. I didnt fall for the white colour so I immediately went 'housing-hunting' for a black cover. And man!!!....MY 4NE turned real cute and business-like. It now looks cooooooool!!!!! (Try it out guys. Only, just leave the buttons/keymat in their original grey. I bet you'll love the LOOOOK!!! Just go to the salesperson ask him/her to let you feel it and scroll thru it before you can digest the lousy comments from every Tom, Dick and Harry. THIS FONE IS REAL GOOD.

  • actually you you are the one who can only know the security code of your phone,but if you did not chenge it,the default number is 12345,and if you forgotten kindly coordinate to serviced center

  • 12345

  • I don't like the color of nokia 5300 handsfree. I want black hands free, but i can't find it in the market. Help me people?

  • what is the formate code of nokia 5300

  • If any one knows how to know security code.i forgot it.

  • well it depends upon the user, coz I have this phone for almost 2 years and still in good condition.. handle it with care! :-p

  • this is for the people who are having problems with the lock code. if u enter it wrong for 5 times, ur phone gets locked for 5 mins, then within this tym, if again enter the wrong code a few times, it'll get locked for 15 mins, and so on. so it's better to wait for some time and then enter again if u r sure of the code, if not, get the phone formatted.

  • i'm using this phone for almost 3.5 years, it's working absolutely fine, had to buy a new battery once, has decent battery back up though, the speaker was good initially, tends to degrade as it is a powerful one. the slide is the best in the world if used properly. there are some drawbacks too, it's mic tends to degrade and even if u get it repaired it'll be of no use as it'll come back to it's worst self within a month. overall, a very good phone to use for a year or two.

  • hi there? could someone tell me when EDGE and GPRS are in operation since my phone has both? thank you.

  • What is your problem??

  • This is a superb phone. Nokia 5300 is my first set & still now it is with me. It supports manything which other phone can't support. If you turn off your set connect it with pc its batery charge become low.

  • Good one i used it for past two years. still working good..music player is only big advantage for this model..

  • This phone is Rocking. The only thing i don't like abt this mobile is HANDS FREE. The colour of hand free is white and its to thick. When you put it in your ears, it looks weird. Rest everything is cooooool. You must try it

  • I've had this for 2 years now in Lilac. It's a good phone, easy to use, I like taking pictures and soon found that the memory is small if you don't buy a card. I have the picture quality on the lowest to save space. Good speaker, mine's on the fritz now though. 4/5 stars, the battery's hard to get into. Holds it's charge for awhile if you only text and don't talk on phone. Very customizable. If you don't have an internet connection, you can't send pics to your email. If you have an internet connection but it's not included in your plan, it's VERY costly. Overall, excellent phone.

  • ive been using tis fone 4 about 3 years now. the battery problem is really quite irritating bcoz u hv 2 charge it evryday.the camera isnt clear at nite unless when using the night mode which shakes quite easily.camera works okay in the day. the music player is really loud but if its put 2 the maximum volume the song will sound rusty,seems like the speaker cant withstand the volume.. the red rubber parts peels off after some time,so my fone has no rubber(the whole fone is white bcoz i peeled off the rubber thing) im changing my fone 2moro bcoz its starting 2 lag n restarts by itself.also,my sent messages automatically delete themselves when i off the fone. i repaired mine once bcoz the slide wasnt working.. pros:gr8 music player good design(though abit "plastic") gud camera(if nite mode is on) keypads r nice 2 press cons:vry laggish after some time rubber skin peels off quite a bulky n heavy fone low battery life

  • One thing for this phone that Music Player is great. The sound quality of this phone is amazing with original headphones.

  • Do you talk with your phone or not??????? I doubt that. I have the same phone but I strongly oppose your comment on the battery and you mentioned that you charge this after 4 days. Its incredible. But its possible if there is no phone call in your cell. Don't be excited. It's nothing personal.

  • is this fone available in dombivili plss i wanna buy it is it really gud?

  • it's nice to have my new fone i didn;t expect that this EspressMusic can satisfy the quality of sound. . . try it and you wnt rgret to get one kind of fone like this . . . . Tnx For Nokia

  • Dont think too much its good model

  • I have had the fone for nearly 2 years and have never had a problem with the battery - i charge it every 4 days and its gr8 - also camera is good and so is the video

  • Phones really good in camera n music. Not really good in battery.

  • I have had this phone probably about 2 years now. I like the features- the music player is good. I got a free adapter with the phone, which most phones don't give away, so if the headphones break you can just get new normal ones cheaply. The dedicated music buttons make it easy to use the phone as an mp3 player and the memory slot allows up to 4gb so you can fit quite a few songs on- plus the software has a 'mobile converter' which you can use to 'shrink' the size of most music files meaning you can fit alot more on than you'd expect. I had a 512mb card in there and about 300 songs. The calendar/to do list/etc are pretty much as expected and good as I think most Nokias are. However, I have had quite a few problems with the phone, although some were brought on by me being clumsy. At one point dust started to gather under the screen (I broke the screen cover off trying to clean it). After a while the phone started to lag- the screen would sometimes randomly invert the colours or freze. It would take a long while to do simple tasks. And the media player messed up so that it would select sometimes 20 sometimes 99 sometimes 200 of the 300 songs i had on there and I could only play the others individually by going to their file location- I have no idea why it did this! However, other times, it would be fine and as normal. It finally broke yesterday when i dropped it down the stairs (oops) and the screen 'cracked'so now I can't see anything. Overall, it has some software glitches, I think it probably trys to do too much at once and crashes. Also some screen issues. But a god phone feature wise and price wise. Best note: music playing Worst note: song library crashing/other lag and screen crashing 3/5

  • its already have been 15 months thst ive purchased this mobil,this mobil is very good, stylish,and very good music system.I really liked this mobil very much.

  • the camera not good at all...not clear...and the worst is the battery...everyday need to charge....and the MP3 also no good...

  • I have purchase this mobile nokia 5300 2 months back,now iam facing the problem in charging point.my mobile not getting charge

  • hi! friens, this model sound out put very gud battery back up very low i can"t send picture msg. picture option is n't there so don't buy this mobile take care friends....

  • I bought this phone on Feb'2008, it is nice phone, but you need to charge this phone everyday. Sometime this phone hang... otherwise it is ok.

  • the flexyble in this cell phone is easy to break., damn.

  • i m using nokia 5300 express music from last 1 year..i hve no problems wit d phone but encountered certain probs with password setting feature...

  • AS with all sliders, the biggest problem is the ribbon inside malfunctions from dropping the phone. It happened to me 2X. The screen will go blank, flicker, etc which are all signs of ribbon problems. The speaker half the time doesnt give a sound when i rec'd a twxt message. The case is plastic, hence, be forewarned, it can only take slight abuse and the phone is gone. The minute my contract is up, i am going to ditch this phone. The music and camera so far works well. The issue with this phone is mainly DURABILITY, and it FAILS!!!

  • I use this phone for one year now and I haven't encountered any problem with its camera.

  • hey.... a favour plz... i've heared that its camera has a problem ....is that soo........ i wanna buy it so plz let me know.....???? REPLY SOON

  • well i think guys!!!

  • one f da grtest fone i have eva used...!!! 5300 Rulz..!!

  • Hi,all frnd My fone have 1 problem is can not add internet sitting why please,tell me...

  • What means it doesn't work properly and it breaks quickly? I have this phone for over 1 year and it works perfectly. Not a single problem and I drop it on the floor a couple of times and it's ok, not even a scratch. I'm so pleased by the phone that I don't want to exchange it. It's very useful if you are a music addict :)

  • Its very gud

  • Your friend can have her own reason for sayin so, But from what I can tell I have been using this phone for the last 10months and still using it without any difficulties.For more informatio you can contact me on [email protected]

  • honestlly, this phone sucks. i've used his phone for 6 mnth, but it gone now anyway, the sound wasn't so clear, the camere waSn't good, adn the skin of th music player appliation really sucks. i'm sorry for nokia, but is just a good phone for the aspect, not for performance.:|

  • is there an anti virus that best suit this unit??? and if ever there is any isn't it down loadble for free???

  • can any one tell me how to use nokia 5300 as web cam with computer i tried mobiola web cam software but its good for none also tried software which works with 6600 to make it usable as a webcame

  • it was good.. know im having a LOT of problems with this phone.. not exactly the best choice....

  • Is that phone still populer???

  • why no hearing me in a call? but i am hearing them. pluss my screen is dark not lighting up but screen still is displayin stuff??

  • 5300 has wap2.0/xhtml, as html sites are viewed as wml. so it is not suitable for html at all.

  • Yes you can just go to profile and edit ring tone and go to where you have you music stored

  • Great phone, these other posters must have had a lemon. MP3 music sounds good and with adapter i can play on my ipod stereo. Speakers are loud though handset speakers for hearing callers can be low at times. expandaple memory is great. With a 6$ fix i can sync it with my mac and google calendars. Small and forget its in my pocket half the time. I drop it all the time and it works great a year and a half later!

  • can someone tell me why can't i put mp3's as a ringtone on my phone.

  • I bought this phone. I was pleased with all the features it had when reading the specifications but when i tried to apply my mp3 songs as a ringtone the phone refuses to do so. The establishments that sell these phone do not tell you that you have to buy your ringtones through the rogers website. Apparently that is the only way to get the phone to play mp3 ringtones. I find that it is making nokia look bad. I love nokia phones but when i got this one i felt that i was robbed and lied to. The phone is nice but that problem with applying mp3 ringtones is really not working. Nokia Please do something about that!

  • I hated this phone its sucks it looks stupid, battery is terrible, its really fat, and its mad cheep, I HATE nokia

  • There is one big problem with this phone,the battery only last 1 day,and I do not use it a lot.

  • my phones mp3player is not working what is the problem ?

  • this phone is easily infected by viruses mine is "GONE" already

  • its the best phone i eva had,ive had it for 2 years and it neva let me down!!!!!!!!! gr8 phone, i hope nokia makes more of thees phones!!!!! mwa

  • gud fone, big buttons, screen size oso ok, but camera sucks...battery weak...

  • ang mahal naman niang 5300 nio .. maxado nang luma ang ganian model ang mahal padin.. mga gawen niong 6,000 na lang ang brandnew..

  • i love this phone but if u get it be prepared to have a lot of problems with it thats why tmobile does not sell it anymore. it breaks really easily even if its in your pocket.

  • Ya lor~ I love dis model very much!! I treat it as my precious...

  • in reply to sergio ramos maximum memory card u can use is 2gb. of course sum ppl have succeeded in using 4gb cards... but do it at ur own risk. in reply to [email protected] 2 icons missing: yeah only the first batch of nokia 5300 had all twelve icons. from the next batch, the last 2 icons were relaced by a single icon... that is ur network provider icon. in reply to Anandakumar low ringing volume: yeah dis one annoys me too. this feature was introduced in some of the s40 phones n i'm one unlucky person among many to have got this feature. the ringtone will start with a very low volume and reach the maximum volume only after 5 seconds, by which time i'd already have picked up the fone... this was introduced by nokia to protect our ears as 5200 and 5300 had the highest loudspeaker volume designed by nokia. really stupid... of course the record has long been broken by 6233.

  • In reply to sab @ 2009-05-07 11:32 from tV0T yup... some of the units have these problems... just upgrade your firmware. the latest version is 7.20 (RM-146). it solves most of the software problems. for info on how to upgrade firmware... use google... :-)

  • @ SETHURAM... some themes available on the net come with ring tones and sms tones. for those themes u need to reset your ringtone (the one that u want to use)... themes are also available without ringtones... so in that case, your ringtone eill remain unchanged... hope this solves your problem...

  • hi there... in back. i've had this fone for 2.5 yrs. till now i have'nt been able to find an upgrade to this fone where music n other features are concerned. im using creative ep-630 headphones with the adpter provided in the pack... n i swear i have'nt heard a single fone in my life with such splendid music quality. upgrade ur firmware to version to 7.20 (RM-146). well after 2.5 yrs... pros: 1.superb superb music quality... uncompared n unparalleled. 2.superb display... it actually has the biggest display in s40 series. its actually 2.1 inch contrary to 1.9 inch as specified in websites. 3.practically millions of themes are available on the net compared to hundreds of themes for other fones. 4.UI is fantastic. cons: 1.need a larger memory card. 2gb is just isn't enuf. 2.cam quality very poor... need a better cam (3.2mpix) wid flash preferably. 3.battery.... need a better back-up man... just 1 hr of calls drains this fone from full to nil. 4.there's no point in having side-mounted music keys if they don't work when keypad's locked... 5.need a slimmer fone... so i'll be purchasing nokia 5330 next. all those ppl looking 4 an upgrade go 4 dis one. its got talktime of 7 hrs... etc etc. i don't want an s60 fone. s40's super fast n i love the features... n im addicted to themes. no giving all those n-series fones a damn... i'll be back... byeee... rock on!!

The one icon that was lost was the instant messaging and not sure what the other one was it was in the bottom left corner. I have had both phones unlocked to be able to use with at&t and I have never had any problems with them, they are the phone that I prefer to use if at all possible.

  • Also The Another ProBlem Iv Thiz Phone Hab Ribbon problem..........Which Iz Very common in samsung phones but nokia Is Still better thn Samsung

  • Bad quality... noisy photos, but you can still see what you captured.

  • This phone is great, for the low amount you would pay... the only small problems i had was that the keypad light stopped working after 1 and a half years, the sound is really loud but tinny quality and the operating system is not as userfriendly as id like. ...but after 3 good years of bashing it around, I dropped it for the last time and its finished =D... good strong phone but wouldnt buy another, because of the low tech.

  • yo i am with u. nokia's r the way to go. the first hone i ever had was a sagem and everyone know's that it is bad. so i bought this phone and nothing wrong has happened yet. NOKIA's for the win!!!

  • this phone worked for a while but, after nearly 2 years, the screen cover has broken in 2 places and the lcd is leaking around the top of the screen and bluetooth has stopped working which is so annoying. i definately wouldn'y buy this phone again, and i dont think nokia have thought about durability or battery life enough, but it looks nice and the music buttons certainly are a nice feature.

  • i hav been using this fone for more 2 yrs n the bat is no that good i have to change it n the casing is fragile but i wont change it for something else i luv my fone its sound is great

  • Really? You guys liked this phone? T-Mobile has replaced mine 6x. Mostly the buttons stopped responding or reception crapped out. They say the 'Slider' has several issue. Never had a problem with the screen or radio. I hear the 5310 replecement is better because it it is one piece, no slider.

  • ya , get a card reader, put your M2 card in it, and connect the card reader in to your pc, and then run anti-virus. for more save your M2 card , format your momey card....Thanks...

  • really the nature of the sound in nokia 5300 is aamazing yaar>>>i have been using this fone for past 2 years,till tha date i havent face any poblem in this fone ya.its really nice nokia is the best

  • i have used this phone for a month...totally hated it so i sold it to a friend...battery sucks like hell,doesnt even last half a day if u listen to music...NEVER BUY

  • Sound is too good, but very poor battery life. All I can say is search for other option rather then buy this phone.

  • I M using 5300 since a year. Its a very nice cell & i think that everybody should buy. The only minus point is that it is a bit heavy & u should handle it with care.

  • loud speaker problem, just change it with another one the original one costs only 15 pounds here in egypt and it's the same of n73 by the way so it's very affordable, you can install it yourself , see how to disassemel in youtupe, it's very easy and you can solve any software probs by updating software via usb, go to nokia.com , and follow the instructions, good battary can last half a day with misic at it's loudest level and loudest level in eqalizer with light on mst of the time , but , take care of music keys , cause if it is broken you will lose the option to control the music player while doing anyting else like games.

  • Nokia has very good phones and the awful ones... this Nokia is probably the worst I've ever had... Too many software bugs and flaws... It's not worth the features it has. Is a nice one if used as a music player, but the battery consumption will be fast...

  • yes you can. just go to www.mobile9.com and get what you're looking for

  • am i able 2 down load music videos with my nokia 5300? sum 1 please help me out.

  • hi i am using 5300 for almost 1 year its loudspeaker is not working fine from the day i have purchased its sound is not loud as it should be being a music express phone

  • howd u fix it?

  • how much u want?100 gb

  • never change the keapad only original ones works fine you can change the housing only, take care of the music keys it might brake if you press it very hard many times, 2gb card works fine even if it's copletely full sound is awsome according to the head phones , the phone gives it all it's power exactly like computer , try a good computer headphones and you'll hear the same sond and the same bass like winamp, it's like an ipod. cam is good without zooming the pics are uup to 1280*1024 and this is good for any one say it's camera is bad, thats pecase the scratches and the dust on the back cover, try to remove the back cover and clean the camera lens and take a photo and you'll see the difference, i have like 1000 games with j2me and s40 ( jar, jad, sis ) and it's 320 x 240 so all the games works fine, update the software via your usb cable and it will remove all problems. it's on'y proplem that with my 2gb memory card it takes about 3 mins every time i replace the battary yo update songs library , and also when you chose a song from the list for the firist time after replacing the battary but the second time it works fine, very good keas and slider, screen, perfect sound, good, fast camera in the light but night mode is too slow and it's only for very still pics, it makes a much better light but very slow video player plays most of mobile vids, eqalizer is perfect, it can blow your ears , it supports many animated s40 themes and scran savers and this awsome, buy it but if you can get 5610 it's way better :) and 5310 is better in music but not in the camera cause it spport up to 32 gb memory 5610 spports only 4 gb .

  • I Had been using this phone for like 8 months now and right now I am using a Sony Ericsson K800i. Not a bad phone. Great music quality. Nice screen resoloution. The camera aint that nice. Well it snaps a bit better quality pictures with night mood on. Otherwise when the pictures are transfered into the computer(snapped without night mood) it becomes worse. The phone never let me down. Initially a very great phone for regular usage. And out of 10 I would rate it 8. -Thanks

  • how can say it is good because i have never use such cheap phone

  • Hi all, i have been using this phone for a year now and must say it is a good investment. Battery life is decent, build quality is good, It works just fine even though it has fallen down a few times. The quality of the music is good enough for someone who isnt too fussy. The camera is okay for a 1.3MP, when i tramsfer the pics to my PC it looks eevn better. Havent experienced call drops except in places where th e signal is weak. i can carry on a conversation in a lift as well. The slider works fine and has never creaked or groaned on me. The only con I feel is that the memory card is not hot swappable and the back cover is annoyingly difficult to remove. I transfer data to my card in USB mass storage mode as I feel that transerring to phone first is a little annoying. I have wanted to buy a smart phone for some time now but cant get my self to stop using my 5300. Its a good phone. dont think twice before buying it.

  • To delete the virus change the properties of that file using moby explores or ur desktop or notebuk...while changng properties of that file select writable...and then save d setngs... Then u wl b able 2 del tht virus..enjoy

  • what the hell. this thing only takes 2 gig/?

  • I recently purchased a Nokia 5300 and it has the best camera ever. I think the internal memory could be slightly larger rather than being 10MB only. It can hold up to 15 pictures with the internal memory. It's perfect when you buy a 2GB memory card.

  • is it still available on the market?

  • does anyone know how to delete a virus from the nokia 5300? i have 2 folders on my memory card in the images folder that i am unable to delete.. if i try to delete it will say "Cannot delete file: Cannot read from the source file or disk." and if i drag it to the recycle bin.. it will say "Cannot copy file: Cannot read from the source file or disk." i'm not sure if it is a virus.. but it is very bothersome my screen also turns white sometimes when i slide open the phone... and my speaker doesn't work either when I slide the phone.. i have to use loudspeaker instead i've had this phone for almost 2 years now and im not sure if it is going broken already.. can someone please help? thank you =]

  • Actually, I don't think it is Symbian.

  • I've been using this phone for about a year now, so I've got my own opinion about it. The camera is pretty much good enough to get the main subject of your shot as long as you can get close enough to it. I feel that the camera's zoom gets too blurry after you zoom though so the more you have to zoom, it tends to be harder to see your subject clearly. It shouldn't be used as a main camera (or as a substitute for a digital camera) The speakers are pretty damn clear, loud and nice. Definitely a fairly good music player. The buttons are quite good and easy to use. I haven't had any problem with them at all over my year, except when I changed my shell for the first time a few weeks ago, the new buttons that came with the new shell felt very tight and it was hard to press. More so the keypad, so I asked for the keypad to be changed back to my old one. The side buttons are quite useful, but be careful if you're in school and you don't want your music to suddenly blast out through your speakers so make sure your phone's locked =P (not that it's happened to me before) - however I should add, and I have no idea how, but my play/pause button became lose and I had to get that fixed. Battery life is a little bit short for me. With the new-ish battery I bought recently, it can probably last a little over 2 days (I switch my phone off when I sleep) before it needs a recharge.

  • sympian??

  • and yes its sympian s40

  • perfect user interface, perfect sound with big headfone, super bass according to the headfone it really has very good sound chip and player and battary is fair enuf 4 music good camera,i got it used with bad loud spaker but it's original one is fine, but remember its amazing in music and it's software is very nice and you can instal whatever you want, it's really nice music fone. with good camera

  • this phone so friendly.. easy to use..

  • features are almost same but the resolution of 5300 is quite good (240 * 320 aganist 128 * 160 of 3110).screen is also little bigger in 5300.actually 3110(around rs4400-4700) is the cheaper version of 5300(around RS 6000)

  • u can copy paste songs by selecting usb mode.installing pc suite is necessary if u want to convert music file into some other format(like from mp3 to AAC)

  • well,i'm still confused to transfer music to my phone.. is it very necessary to install the pc suite before i transfer my music in pc to my phone?

  • what about the sms?? antbody using this phone would recommend this phone to a heavy texter?? please let me know

  • My advice to those who want to buy this phone: If your clumsly, forget it. Slide phones suck in terms of durability.

  • Best speakerphone I've ever had on a cell phone. Great call quality. Camara is also excellent. If you're looking for a solid good quality phone this is it.

  • best in it is camara n music if u hav a craze of music den gooooooooooooo for it muahhhh

  • this mobile s coool

  • ..5300 is so great!!! ..sobra!!!iv had the n series,n73,n70...but noth8ing compares to the 5300 that i hv its small,2G memory,nice slide design..galing!!!

  • yes. it is worth buying

  • how much did it cost?is it worth buying?

  • I bought the NOKIA 5300 around 4 mnths back.... I am big music freak.... And i consider myself very smart and lucky to have bought this sexy phone!! Brilliant music play!!! Its speaker's sound output no doubt is unbeatable by even SONY ERICSSON mobiles known for their music... Processing speed is also gud... The earphones also provides u sound equivalent to a 120 mWatt Headphone... Only backdrop being its battery backup... It doesn't prove to be enough for such a great music phone.. In short.... The mobile phone is..... EXCELLENTTTTT!!!!! I just love it. . .

  • this phone battery very s*ck! it less than one day.. urghh

  • great

  • well this phone i had it for about a year and a half. well it is bulky it as fat and its falling apart. i have a memory card in there but i have like 200 something photos and whenever i try to look at my pictures it takes a long long long time to load them or even when i try to use the camera it takes 5-10 seconds.

  • this phone is bad luck to me, this phone has very poor water resistance. very poor service in kolktata because. duing the warrenty they have refuse to give serivece. saying that warranty is void

  • annoying phone - feels like its falling apart in your hand, not very user friendly. Awful slider - Rubbish.

  • I think you have bought a fake phone it may be used before so you should check it. I think this phone is great but the only disadvantage the ear speaker fast crash and you can not here the other side and it is not symbian

  • i love this phone! i have mine for almost a year now and i already lost one but i still chose to purchase nokia 5300. i love has it works. i believe that it has everything i need, from very fast pacing of all system to radio and its superb music player. camera is quite good as well although it only works best when outdoors. am planning to have an upgrade and save my N5300 as my back up phone. =)

  • i miss my nokia 5300 so much. this phone is very popular in our school. even though 1.3 megapixel lang sya eh ok naman ung speaker. i will miss the sliding mechanism coz it so smooth and the price today is just 6000 pesos below here in the philippines.

  • Not only have I lost my IM icon, my camera will only allow me to take a picture about every couple of days and then only one. It automatically goes to stand by. I have misplaced my book so I can't troubleshoot. Can someone please help me.

  • yea you can install msn messenger on dis fone..... just make sure you have the correct aplication wid proper screen resolution. den it'll work fine. i too have it installd on my 5300. hapy surfin dude !!

  • can you get msn messenger on this fone this is a big concern for me i want it on there??????????????

  • i think 5300 is one of the latest nokia that i've ever had because it is handy,small, and most of all it is slide up cp

  • The sound and the quality of coulour is marvellous on this phone. The slide is good as well. But the problem is the battery. It doesn't rest more than three days without listening music or taking photos.

  • ..my classmate has and it looks so awesome but..the speakers are on the back of the keypad, so texting while listening to music gives a poor sound quality. It's price is so resonable..

  • i hv been using this fon fr over a month. the full-black one. i feel its slide is a little loose than those of the red-black ones. i regret buying this phone coz the battery life lasts lesser than a day.Even lesser if i hear music or radio fr may b 2 to 3 hours. is the quality of nokia 5300 like this. or just that my luck was bad? anyone please help me with ur comments...

  • I think i know that story.. >:D

  • thats good...still remember the story about boy naughty?=)

  • i have been really fasinated with this phone since god know's when i dont no why i like it so much i have never even used it i just think it sounds awesome and looks bloody good. i have the sony ericsson k800i at the moment and i would drop that for this fone anyday lol hopefully my fone breaks or something so then my mum will let me buy another one (this one!!)

  • NO i do not recommend to get it , the sound if it's loud , it comes out distorted and not clean , and the phone itself doesnt handle much . not worth your money seriously

  • to all asking why the phone slow? the reason is simple, becaused the internal memory is only 5MB, even you expand your memory, it cant help the proccesor of your cp to be come faster. try and chek out the specs of 5300 and compare to the 5320 and youll see its nothing.

  • i love dis cp....i love it coz ,,,,the speaker is very loud,,,,,,,,so u buy,,,,dont 4 get,,,nokia 5300 is the very beautiful cp.,>':'

  • THE phone is bloody awesome.AND i jus love it.but i feel that the panels on the phone arent so good becauz my clack panel is not in good conditionn but stilll this phone is really bud

  • The black looks awesome .. i have one & to answer the second question ... Yes u can access internet on the handset .

  • my nokia 5300 wont turn on its been charge since the night before!why wont it turn on

  • pls have been using this phone for queit somtime now like 6months ago but since i got it the radio is not working even wen i put in the headset it doesnt still work.pls what can i do to this

  • WHICH 1 LOOKS GUD red or black? n can we use internet on this ph? n messengers too?

  • does its video capturing good?

  • Battery life is so good. I charge it after 2 days while listen music using headset. If u just take the calls and send msgs then the battery backup can even go to 3 days. Believe me friends!!!!

  • Hi friends! I'm using this one from almost 8 months and I think I really got the value of my money. Its too cheaper with almost every feature I want. Camera quality is best in its class of 1.3 MP fones. Sound quality is really awesome and loud. Cool sliding design. Very fast OS from Nokia. Very fast bluetooth. But I advice u to convert your songs to aac+ instead of mp3 as it is much better. Overall a best phone in its type. Nokia rocksss!!!!!!

  • So nice phone and i like slide phone and this phone system is so good

  • this phone is very useful especailly for music listening but one thing my phone get lock up an i don't know the security code for the phone an i will like to used my phone.

  • i think this fone is great the only problem is that if you're listening to its mp3, the speakers become hot after may be 40mins...is that just normal or does it mean my fone is broken? by the way, i.ve been using this fone for 8months now and i haven't experienced any problem and i also think its better than nokia 5310..:)

  • good thing about this phone: 1. Loudspeaker, clear music both on headset and speaker. 2. 1.3 camera. 3. user friendly. 4. the design and slide is cool (most specially if you buy the black 5300). 5. up to 2 gig memory card. 6. you can also use this as a storage device or a usb. Just bring its data cable. the rest is up to you.. The bad thing is 1. poor battery life. if you are addicted in playing music while you are on the go you cannot really enjoy. you always need to bring its charger in case battery is drained. Take note charger for nokia 5300 is its LIFE. it only last for only 1 day for me. and you cannot use it for phone conversation since you have used it as a mp3 player because it will be drained easily. 2. i am really a music lover person so i dont regret buying this i love using it in a loud speaker while playing music but after a month its speaker has a minimal problem. Music becomes low while you set the volume setting in 50% you need press he phone to hear the sound better for 50% then try resetting it. 3. i also encounter minimal phone resetting and if you have tons of mp3's stored on you memory card updating music is long for you to wait just to be added on your play list. 4. There is no mark function in music library. you need to add 1 by 1 to favourites track. But all in all its very usefull. but for a music lover like me its battery is not that good enough. you cannot use it if it always needed to be charged. i hope my info's will be a good help.

  • hey yo all..great phone....i hv ben using this phone for about a year n half and its awesome...i had a n70 before this n thats a bit slower...though wen i have a lot of songs in da memory card,the music updating takes a lot of time whereas n70 music takes very less time...but still the price is worth it.......I love this phone and no plans to change it

  • i have this phone, and verry good...

  • well.. this had been my longest fone ever and i think it's nice.. the music features are so freaking me out.. haha.. outrageous.. i love it..

  • well i've been using this mystro for about an year now,and i think it's a very very good device,if your'e a muzik freak like i am.thanx to nokia for their good work.

  • i have it for 2 years and its a really really good phone

  • Its a good phone.but the problem is sometimes it doesnt indicate signal.but any way its a marvelous phone

  • I have Celone connection and nokia 5300 mobile. I have some problem when i change my sim with other mobile i loss two rupees. What i do. Wise is "conform sim service " option in this mobile?

  • I have Celone connection and nokia 5300 mobile. I have some problem when i change my sim with other mobile i loss two rupees. What i do.

  • yeah right...

  • yeah right...

  • yes

  • Shall We Save MSG In Memory Card??...

  • i've been using this phone for half and year. At first it was good and so cool to take with and it also has good sound quality but so far in these days i've suffering from the problem that most of the time when calling it doen't give clear sound and some time it gets hanged when connected through usb . but most of all it is better phone to buy for students who wants style in a low price.

  • ive had the nokia 5300 for a year and a bit now and its hasnt broken so pepole that have it for less then 8 months are really rough or something

  • absolutely amazing phone. I was using this one a year until it was stolen.

  • i'm on my fourth of this phone. the speaker starts to breakdown after 3 or 4 months. you can't do texting while listening to music of the volume fluxuates. it is a fun phone before the problems start though. 4/10

  • this phone is greater on music quality, and it has fast menus and customize shortcuts. but it's a worth of money cause it doesnt last long, like 8 months at max. this phone has much software problems and the buttons have very poor endurance, it damages easier. The battery hang on less than a day if you are constantly listening to music.

  • before 4 monthes i bought this phone.it is very cool and strong.it's music quality is greater than nokia n73.it's browser is faster than nokia n73.it screen has no stretch.i am fully satisfied with rhis phone.but if it's operating system would be symbian,it would be much better.

  • You are right Priya... But you can't get the 2 pixel at this rate right?

  • 5300 is my first mobile.... I bought the black panel model... In showroom itself this model impress me to buy... The features are really good and awesome... At this rate this model is very cheap... But some times it irritates due to some software problems... Otherwise good. I rate 8 out of 10 for this model

  • fantastic phone. i accidently let virus in der but still worked. very strong and unbreakable. Ive dropped it so many times and never got damaged. if i smashed it on the floor it wont make any scrathes. im alos intrested in my music and dis is da perfect phone 4 begginers and experts. very easy 2 use. very cheap. ive had da fone for exactly a year. i really recomend dis fone no complaints 10 out of 10 for performance.very gud. and a gud camera.

  • Well...i have been using this phone for like 9 monthz and its giving me a pretty good service! the sound quality is mind blowing. But i am a bit dissapointed about the camera of this phone....its quite awful. but in overall...i would rate it 7 out of 10. Am planning to transfer into the new Nokia N79. But i sure wont sell this phone out! Cheers!

  • I can say that this phone is my partner. i have it for 1 year. I like every thing on it exapt the camera & the design becuz it looks like 5200 and i hate it. Music is great & even the radio

  • some body tell me about the music playback time.and is there is visualization option in the mp3 player like n73.

  • This is my first mobile phone. And i have to say its excellent. Its got a bit of everything. The design is a bit cheap, because its made of plastic. But the slide goes really nicely. And there are so many nice features! Until now (2 years) it hasnt showed any kind of problems, no freezing etc. Im a bit disappointed about the camera, because the quality of the pics could have been better, but with 1.3 megapixels its obvious that it cant do shots like with my camera. i am really happy with my 5300 and i have no itensions of buying a new one :)

  • If ur phone has enuf memory 2 store the data u hav transferred, it gets saved into phone memory..check the "Received files" folder after data transfer.. else it goes directly in2 memory card...

  • If ur phone has enough free memory 2 store the data u hav transferred, the data gets stored in2 phone memory..check it in "Received Files" folder & then move it 2 memory card...okkk else it directly goes in2 memory card..

  • yes u go into blue tooth setting and choose the folder u want to save ur things ,that will do solve your problem..

  • for nokia 5300 mobile 1.3 megapixel camera is not enough its better to have 2+mega pixel thank you

  • only 1.3 mega pixels are not too good .this can be worthed if it will have above 2 mega pixels..................... thnx. . . ))(( . . . .

  • I've had this phone for about a year and a half now. At first it was good, but after a while the screen started to build dust under it. I can't stand this phone anymore and I'm waiting to buy a new one. Possibly looking into the Samsung Gravity

  • i like dis fone....has a gud display, nice cam [thnk of d tym wen twas 1st released b4 criticizin], n easy access 2 d music player. d overal looks s also nice n kinda sporty. bt u cnt stay updatd wid electronics as ders a new launch almst evry mnth.... i'm using it since a year nd a haf nd nvr found ny problm in dis fon whatsoevr xcept 4 d music library now takes a lil more tym 2 gt updated. something unique bout dis fon is its sound quality on d speakers...java apps working fyn on dis handset. jst b aware of d resolution of d apps u r loading! bt d battery lyf of ds set is nt impressive. after usin it 4 1.5 yrs, nw im havin 2 chrg my 5300 twice a day...

  • the nokia 5300 is good but the casing n the battery r too fragile!

  • I bought this set 2nd handly several weeks ago. I previously used 5200 and I noticed that my 5300 doesn't have clearer n louder sound compared to it. Then I also noticed that it is hard to install java programs, especially games. Somehow most of the time it just freezes. The camera also dissapointing, coz when I use the zoom, actually I reduce the size of the pics. Other than that, I love the design n the sound. It can also can handle 2gb. Cool!

  • Hi my frnd.i want to coment on saniaz view. U r the firt person who liks ths useless fone.take care bye.ur brother azb

  • Well I use the nokia 5200, but wanted a better camera so i decided to get his older brother 5300, to be honest 5200 has a good camera comparing to others SE Phones with VGA(640 x 480) cameras, but I think only the 5300 gots what i want, it loks like a nano Ipod... LOL

  • Tnx for sharing.I wish if i cud try. Alas,im gnna sell dis unit. Bye nokia forum. One day ill be bak i m sure.

  • This phone is one of the best phones I have ever owned. It's pretty simple, but navigation between features is really easy. I like timed profiles, so you can say "Yeah, I would like my phone to be silent until 5pm when I leave work." The Nokia PC suite works beautifully especially if you have bluetooth on your computer. You can type new messages and reply to incoming messages on your keyboard while you're doing other things. I could go on and on for how well this phone works. I'd like to try a new phone with gps, touchscreen, wifi, and all the new hip features. It's hard for me to do so, because I like my 5300 so much.

  • hi 5300 users... i'm back well i've been using dis fone 4 2 n a half yrs. ITSSS SUPPPERBBBB got no probz at all. there's sumthing i'd lyk 2 share. i've been using sony hpm 70 headphones wid my set. but recently i bought a pair of PHILIPS headset. MY GOOODDD its mindblowing maaannnn... just try it. my one costs just about rs.350 in india. i've been comparing my 5300;s music wid n73me,sony ericssons,n95,n81 etc etc. 5300 beats dem all. another thing... i got da idea from n91. its default headset is a PHILIPS headset, not a nokia one. hehe. so i tried my luck. hey man. try it. IT ROCKKSSS!! in an empty room try listening above volume 5. its will blow ur eardrums out. the bass effct will shake ur heart. PHILIPS !!

  • i have this phone for 2 months now, its a good phone but i have seen nokia 5130 xpressmusic, now im thinking of selling this and buy the 5130, almost same features but the design of 5130 is very hip and young.

  • ITSSSSS CRAP! Dont get it. It breaks easyy. the speakers bustt. its honestlyy one of the WORST phones ive ever gotten.

  • I'v had this phone for a year, i loved it. I accidentely dropped it, and then it wouldn't get signal anymore. I called tmobile, got it replaced. Now my phone keeps losing signal randomly again. With NO DROPING of the phone itself. Like i would be talking to my cousin, then it would just drop the call. Or it'll be fine before school, then after school i whip it out and i have no bars till i restart it.

  • This is the best 4n i've ever had in music express. But i've got a problem with the videos they make the phone to be low. Is it normal or what.

  • himanshu.. just go in music player..options..music library n then update da library..then u can listen to songs on music player. ahmed

  • i bought this phone for $179 and had it for about 4 months before selling to my sister for $100 now i have a 6300 and would do anything for this phone back it is the best phone for sound

  • I have being using my 5300 for the past one year and I haven't had any problem. The gprs on the phone is fantastic. The people that has any problem with their gprs settings should visit their service provider.

  • Im thinking ...wat kindaa dum...ss u r .U hv chngd ur cellphn parts so frequently.It wud b smart if u wud chng ur model whn u wer havn probz. Pity for u....

  • it a very bad mobile. becouse when i use internet by the phone with pc like a modem it automatically restart randomly. its performence is good.

  • the specs are good,I have it for allmost one year and a half and the only thing I can say is that this phone is the worst phone I had,not because it's stupid or doesn't do it's job well,but because since I bought it i had to change 5(FIVE!!!)displays,6(six!!!)chassis,2batteries,2­speakers,1microphone and the headset fell apart.Now someone tell me how can this phone bee built for dinamic,active,young people,and bee that breakable.before it I had a SE K750 and didn't have any of theese problems.I'm very dissapointed of NOKIA.

  • i'm very conpused for take the gprs..if i take gprs always failed and if i have mms i cannot open the mms..are u have sollution for me??? thankz

  • I've had this phone for more that a year, i had it repaired twice, camera works fine as long as it's daylight, capturing videos isn't as good though. Music player's great, drains your battery though if you use it all day. Memory's expandable up to 2g, expanding it more than 2g's might cause you problems cause the phone's internal memory can't store as much. Physically, the 5300's kinda bulky, you'd be left w/ light scratches on the keypad as well. Overall I'd give this phone a 5 out of 10.

  • Not every1 is eligible to read my post...lyk ur not.

  • on 5300: i like this phone sooo much! so much that bought it again (after I trade my first to a sony ericson phone that never did well unlike this one). i love how the music plays on it, loud and clear. i also love its menu options and you'll definitely love it as well if your more up to music. on the other hand, the 1.3 MP camera on this phone and video are few of its mark down. also, its too bulky for a tight-fit jeans. but as a whole, i give it 4 out of 5. =P

  • the speaker does not spoil fast.it was just your problem

  • Please tell me, How long really the stand-by time is? How long really the talktime is?

  • Sliding phone always sux! Gvn u spkr prblm,hearing n so on.these r natural. aftr usn 6 mnths,im getin prblm with da earpiece.

  • Nokia 5300 is too good.

The nokia 5300 is 4 sale here at 6,000 pesos brand new.. that's around 90 euros.. thats a very cheap phone dedicated media keys, very loud speaker and good 2 inch qvga screen.. also the width of the phone with the help of the rubber housing is very good in the hands..

  • can i transfer MP3 files from my computer to this phone like transfering some ring tones?

  • Go for Nokia 5310...its is gud than nokia 5300....in all the features

  • No it will not support.SIS file....It will support .NTH file.........

  • Yes, you can surf the net...But you need to make the settings and settings will be forwared by the operator itselfs....

  • Thats really gud..if you have filled this much data..But what i will suggest you is to empty some of the things...and now dont add more data..coz it will harm your card...

  • Your phone needs a software updation...coz what ii think so is your mobile has been attacked by a virus..so make a software updation

  • See the problem arises when your phone needs a software updation..so go to the nearest nokia care and make asoftware updation on Your mobile..surely it will be fine

  • Im gonna buy this phone in december and i wantto know if its gonna be worth it?

  • Tak a look@da gsmarena review of 5300: "The music sounds very nice from the integrated loudspeaker and there is a certain bass element to it. Even at the loudest volume levels and you can hear virtually no cracks or creaks from the speaker. Listening to music with the Nokia HS-47 headset provided in the retail package of the phone is entirely a different matter. In reality they do their job on a satisfactory level, but it's got to be mentioned that the Sony Ericsson Walkman headset kits sound noticeably better. We did a rather subjective quality test purely out of curiosity and let us tell you our opinion on music quality with the Nokia 5300. When we played one and the same song on the Nokia 5300 and a sample Sony Ericsson W900 which we had available at the time, the head-on competition was indeed lost by the Nokia 5300 when using the original headsets supplied with the respective phones. When we used a third-party full-size stereo headset on both mobiles, it turned out that they sound pretty much the same with no noticeable differences in quality or bass frequencies. That was the case though before we turned on the Walkman MegaBass preset which really made the W900 shine. But after playing a little bit with the manual equalizer on the Nokia 5300 we managed to achieve the same results by gradually gaining up the low and high frequencies. So in the end, it turns out that Nokia 5300 is a pretty good match for a Sony Ericsson Walkman handset when used with a regular stereo headset."

  • If ur lookin 4 a mid range phn havng almost all multimedia features,dis phn is meant 4 u. *MUSIC *VIDEO *CAMERA *CONNECTIVITY *STANDARD USB & HEADPHN *RADIO *GPRS,EDGE,EGPRS Wat else u want to gt?

  • is this phone any good

  • On standby mode,press: *#7780# It will ask:Restore default factory settings?Confirm yes. Dis will format ur phone.Not memory card.

  • Is the Nokia 5300 a symbian phone.

  • use memory card reader to format or using phone go to memeory card options click format memory card

  • can u tell me hw to format this phone....?

  • Card slot microSD (TransFlash), up to 2GB

  • my 5300 dont have sounds on the speaker but has sounds in headset what should i do to bring back the sound in it's speaker?

  • memory card over 2GB (4... or more) work with this phone?

  • K750 sounds gud with megabass eq and sony headphn. 5300 performs awesum with same headphn though lacks megabass,bt ensures gud bass. Bt 1 thng is clear.K750 really provides gud quality camera.5300 is no match in dis respect. Iv used both :)

  • yes haider you r right the k750i sound is much better than n5300 even is the n5300 works in 4-5 volume and k750i without the megabass it is much better that stupid man is telling lies

  • no its not good to change your k750i to n5300 becoz the sound is not clear as k750i its noting compared to k750i and even the camera is even very bad the k750i camera is great its like digital camera the k750i has more features so go ahead and buy k750i instead of n5300 believe me the only thing that the n5300 has is that it has louder music but its not clear but the k750i is too clear but a little little little differnce in the loudness but he k750i mobile if u hear it in the earphone it is dam dam good .

  • don't tell lies the sound is not good , it is also nothing compared to sony ericsson ha , and the sound is not clear unless you slide the mobile and u hav to press the mobile then the sound becomes loud or somtimes the sound is not loud .

  • I've had this phone for almost two years now and absolutely love it. The speakers are super loud I recieve all calls and messages. The camera is ok but not terrible and the battery still pasts me for almost two days with me testing and talking I LOVE THIS PHONE!!!

  • I am going to say 'no'. This phone is cute, great for music...but it just doesn't last! I took perfect care of my phone, NEVER dropped it, got it wet, or anything. Right now they are sending me a third phone, because the first two just broke down! After several months they would start randomly turning off, not sending messages, and just not working. It's very frustrating and disappointing- TWICE already!!!

  • i agree completely Brian the camera i actually very good for just 1.3mp and it is very loud when playing music on the loudspeaker. It's a great buy...however, if you plan to keep your phone for more than a year look at some other phones because this one tends to get down after about year or just purchase a new battery and hope for the best.

  • i had mine over 2 yrs. still theres is no problem except for the battery, but its my fault using different charger on this handset....just follow the manual and nothing bad is gonna happen.........

  • Friend for bass you can change your equalisar as 7-8-4-8-7. By changing this type of equalisar you'll get loud with bass it means a better quality sound. [email protected]

  • Hey man - I had the same problem. I record howard stern in the morning off Sirius then listen to him in the afternoon on my phone. I was SO PISSED that i could only FF by 5 seconds, when sterns' show is 5 horus long. You can set the skipping distance for how fast or slow you rewind/fast forward. for those audio books, you can choose 10 minutes, then once you get close to the area you want to be in, just go back and switch back to 10 - 15 seconds to find where you where. To set the skipping distance for fast forward or rewind: Choose Menu. Choose Fun & Apps. Press Media. Press Media Player. Select FF/Rew interval here you can choose 5, 10, 20, 60 seconds, or OTHER. in OTHER you can put any time distance. Good luck!

  • The nokia 5300 is a great music phone with very high volume and low price. It has every feature you need on a phone. And the camera displays brilliant and there are loads of themes out there!

  • i have this phone in red and white and the style of the phone brilliant. It has every feature you would need on a phone. I have had no problems with the phone and i have found it very user friendly. it is a great music player and i would recommend it to someone that wants an very good music phone with a low price from just 99 euro!

  • hi....can ne1 tell me whether we can save text messages in the memmory card?? if yes what is the procedure.....

  • i'm confused on which phone to purchase between the 5300 and 5310 they are both unbelievable

  • Try this! Set the equalizer to this setting- 4-0-0-0-2. It will work wonders. And also turne the "stereo widening" off. Hope it wil hlp!

  • hey guys do you know what is the best arrangement of the equalizer of 5300? i do listen to RNB and TRANCE musics thanks guys....hope someone can answer this question....

  • Yes

  • is usb of mp4 china compatible to 53oo

  • How many contacts could be stored in N5300

  • Yun, Thank you very much. I think I'll give a try to this phone then. ( Well, if not satisfied I can always take it back, but I think I will ) Tks again and namaste. Tks everyone aswell for the opinions and help. :)

  • Seriously, do NOT drop this phone. The second time I dropped it, my screen was fried. When the display did start working again, it as all grainy. Eventually it corrected itself, but it would always flicker and I would have to move the top bar of the phone a certain way in order to get the screen to show up. I dropped my phone a fourth time (it fell on a carpeted floor), and now it's completely out of commission. The top and left navigation buttons didn't work (which were essential for text messaging and activating my active standby). At this point of time, I have absolutely no display on my phone. Thank god I can still switch in between profiles (after having memorized which profile was which and how many buttons I would need to press in order to select the desired one). I don't recommend you get this phone if you are somewhat careless with your phone.

  • Does the 5300 have very loud ringtones and sms tones? Someone with a slight hearing loss needs a Nokia phone. If this phone is not the right choice,please tell me what is.

  • I love trance music 2 and i got my 2gb card full of it!The 5300 is a really nice fone 2 listen 2 music.Overall saisfied with it. ts not lagging with the 2gb as some said before. Neither does it freeze!The only thing i'd say disapoint me is the 1.3mp camera.What u doing Nokia guys?!?!?!!??Would have surely been a great fone with a 2.0mp camera.Could u gys just tell me whats the diference between the express music (black 1) and the others??Coz i cant find the diff.I bought the blak 1 coz i found it really much more gud lookin :o) Cheers

  • don't ever drop it!! the screen will crack

  • I'm becoming more confused on which to buy, but that's not bad because I'm gathering and learning more information about everything. I love Trance music and I'm aware that, if I really want to hear music ( really ) decently I'll need to buy an Mp3 player ( or Ipod, or whatever ) in the future. But for now, I'd like to have a good phone all around, with good music ( and loudspeaker music aswell, not only phones, but that is only to show music to others, little show off lol ) And I'm also thinking on passing by all the photos, contacts and v�deos from my old 6600 to the new one ( being Nokia or SE ) Tks for all the help Antik. Keep them coming. I'll buy a new one untill the end of the week ^^

  • don't say stuff u have no idea about! did u modify 5300's equalizer? just arrange it from high-to-low in left-to-right direction and FEEL THE DIFFERENCE! u will get the SAME BASS as SE's MegaBass. Oh, i HAVE W850i and 5300 so i DO know...

  • Nokia 5300 and SE W580i are almost same when it comes to sound quality but u must use 3rd party headset and ditch the bundled one (HS-47). I have had the W850i and now i have 5300, and without any doubt the sliding mechanism in 5300 is FAR SMOOTHER than in W850i. Also, i heard w580's keypad is a bit unreliable and breaks off after a few months. k550 is not a music phone and it sucks.

  • Thanks for the help, Forhan. I'll search for those mobiles in Portugal ( W810 and Nokia 3250. The review of W8810 is from 2006, maybe k550 or W580 are better now, don't know ) PS - I can only spend around 100� ( Those SE that I've mentioned are 100� here in Portugal, while 5300 is 80� ) Tks again. :)

  • so dont drop it your screen will go out let me tell you

  • Cm on guyz!I cant get bass with nokia!SE is the King here.1ly 3250,n91&n81 provide bass.Others are *******.

  • U can buy w810/nokia 3250.U will b benefitted.

  • If u consider the bass,5300 is da weakest1.Go 4 sonyericsson.If u choose nokia,then kp in mind,there are 1ly a few models dat can satisfy ur ear with bass(Not megabass!Just bass): 3250 n91 n81

  • phone is not that great,according to me.the phone which i had no great features.but its good for ruff use.

  • And btw. Music for me = trance ( I hear everything, but when people talk about music, they don't think about the bass, or drums, or whatever. I think this should be specified ) I don't know how the music phones can be with trance music, or even chillout. Tks ^^

  • Hey there. I really need to buy a new mobile phone ( my Nokia 6600 has the joystick broken and I can't go down. I had the phone for 3 years, it was ok ) I don't know what to buy ( I'm a music listener, everyday.. ) Nokia 5500 Sony Ericsson W580i Sony Ericsson K550i Maybe I'll buy a MP3 player after ( I don't know ), but I would like to have a phone that has everything in one, and it's ( at least ) above average in terms of sound. Tks in advance. :)

  • i have had this phone for...6-7 months and i kinda dont like it. the camera sucks lots of ass, like you click the OK and it takes about 3 seconds to take the pic, way annoying. its basically made for music playing, and the speakers are nice for a phone. if you want to try it, go for it, overall a good phone.

  • yes you can surf the web

  • have you tried nokia 5310? what can you say about its specs compared to this phone(5300)

  • hey this phone rocks! i bought this phone a month ago and man i am so satisfied with it's performance. it has a shorter battery life tough.. nokia rocks! n_n

  • yes, capable of 2gb a little bit slow in updating music library.

  • I have this phone and i like it, but i wounder if i can put 2GB? is it fast with it?

  • firstly lemme tell u dat i've been using dis fone for about 2 years now. nokia 5300xm is a SUPERB SUPERB fone man !! IT ROCKKSS !! pros: 1.superb speed... u can move from one application to another,one screen to another really fast.i hated the old nokia nseries for da slow bragging speed. 2.s40 OS. compatible with ALL Themes, ringtones,wallpapers, screensavers available on the net... my nokia 5300 worked wid many themes that were "corrupted" on my friends mobiles... like 6233,6300etc. 3.superb cam for 1.3mp.At rs.6k dont expect better pal,& its faaaaaaaar better dan da other cams on my frndz mobs of da same price. 4.SUPERB SUPERB MUZIK!! All u need to do is BUY A SONY HPM-70 HEADSET n connect wid ur 3.5mm adapter.IT BEATS ALL SE WALKMANS HANDS DOWN !! 5.SEXY SEXYYYYYY DESIGN.i once dropped it from terrace to two floors down,it did'nt even scratch itself (i had a crystal cover though). 6.the display is really GR8.superb contrast,resolution,colours.Its a treat to watch photos on such superb display(dat was da reason i hated sony, i mean wats da point in having a hing-end cam wen u hav a low quality TINNYYY display). cons: 1.the supplied headset could've been a bit better,lyk da ones wid nokia 6233. 2.battery suckkksss man... dis one let me down. tips: 1.read again wat i said about da SE HPM70 headset,u wont find dat info easily. 2.if u r looking for an upgrade FROM nokia 5300,go 4 n81(2gb,u wont need 8gb man!!)
