Highly Ranked

I've had this model in the UK and here are some comments:

- All round this I'd say the phone is very good at doing the basics of any phone but as a music phone it some issues still.

- Sound quality is excellent when the earphones are replaced with standard issue ipod earphones, but the supplied earphones are poor. The great thing is that phone provides a standard headphone jack, allowing you to use virtually any headphones, something that many phones don't. Radio is very good.

- Album Art is a real problem if thats your thing. I have tagged mp3s that work perfectly in iTunes, WMP , iPods etc. However the chances of the artwork showing up on the 5310 are a bit hit and miss. Check Nokia forums for a further description of this issues.

- Dedicated music keys are really useful for getting quick access to music, however the ease of navigation in the "sort by artist" screen is lacking. Basically if you want to drill down to an artist beginning with "M", you've got to manually click down through ALL artists from "A" to "L". You cannot even press the corresponding letter on your keypad to quickly skip to "M". This is majorly frustrating when you have a reasonably sized music library. I can hardly believe this oversight from Nokia!
