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.

The 5300 has a nice compact design that is good to hold. It's very slightly larger and heavier than the 6111, but a little thinner. In our opinion it's the perfect size phone. There are dedicated music keys on the outside (play, pause, forward & rewind) and a camera key, so many of the phone's functions can be accessed without opening the slide. The volume keys on the side double up as zoom keys when the camera is in use. Clearly some thought has gone into the user interface of the 5300, and it works well. The display is outstandingly good. It's a high-resolution QVGA display (320 x 240 pixels) with 262k colors, and it is large (2 inches across). The slide opens easily with a spring mechanism to reveal the main keypad, which is nice to use and a good size (although the top row of keys are placed rather close to the slide). The 5-way navigation key is easy to use.

Obviously music is at the heart of the 5300 so let's talk about that next. The 5300 has a high-quality stereo music player that supports all the main digital audio formats: MP3, Midi, AAC, AAC+, enhanced AAC+, and WMA. There is also a stereo FM radio. The Nokia Stereo Headset HS-47 is included in the sales package and you can plug in your own headphones via the new 2.5mm Nokia AV connector which can accept regular-sized 3.5mm headphones via an adaptor.

A memory card is supplied in the sales package (size varies) and the memory can be expanded to 2 Gbytes (enough to store 1,500 songs). For more details www.phoneandbeyond.com
