Rejoice Rogers music lovers, as there she is, the least beautiful -- though, rather affordable -- cell in the world, the XpressMusic Nokia 5310. Mobileincanada has spilled the beans on the upcoming release of this handset on Rogers, and for a purported bargain-basement price of $99 bucks, we're sure it'll find an audience in the chilly north. No word on when we'll see this lining the shelves, though we'll drop some hints as soon as we know more. Oh, and if you're hitting up the source for this, you're better off reading en français -- if you can dig that language -- as the translated site's a bit challenged.

Nokia 5310 is actually one of the best looking Nokia's currently in sale imo and thin! Would maybe get 6500c over this, but then it's in a different price range =)

"if you can dig that language". Awww was your high school French teacher mean to you?

the 5310 won't be launched on pay as you go, at least not in Q1 (or probably at all). It will be $99 on a 3 year contract.
The 3500 wil be $99 on paygo, which is still a pretty nice phone and price.

I think he was making an innocent comment about how poor the english grammar that site has. It makes it tough to read sometimes.
