> Nokia 5310 Music Xpress - The Force is strong in this one
Bookmark topic
I bought a Nokia 5310 a few days ago.
I know, I'm an SE fan yada yada! I'm not about to jump ship, SE is still my favourite phone OEM, but just lately I was looking for a dedicated MP3 player that could display images, music videos and mp3's.
I was looking at a Sony NWZA826KB, 4GB, QVGA screen, Bluetooth A2DP.
Then I noticed the Nokia 5310: It has 1GB memory card (but expandable to 16 and probably 32GB), QVGA screen, Bluetooth A2DP. PLUS it has a FM radio, and non music features such as phone, internet browser, camera, games, flight mode (to save power when in "dedicated mp3player" mode), 3.5mm headphone socket, and I already have an 8GB microsdhc card to put in it.
The 5310 also has nice big dedicated music buttons that make it even more like a dedicated player. I was also looking at a W610 ($180), but in the end the 5310 is much smaller and lighter and has a 3.5mm socket.
Price of Sony player: $229
Price of Nokia music phone: $229
So I got the Nokia! It's pretty much the same size as the Sony player, but a little heavier (58g to 71g).
It makes quite a nice little mp3 player.

I didn't get this for use as a phone, but as an internet capable mp3 player.
It runs Opera Mini just as well as my W910, but the screen size is much smaller. 90% of my internet access is through my main handset (atm the W910). It's just hanndy to have internet capability on a dedicated mp3 player.
@Muhammad-Oli, don't worry, I'm still very much an SE fan.
s40 has some advantages over a200, but I still much prefer SE overall.
@qvga, I was never a Nokia fanboy anway so I wouldn't be going back.
You know, just because I generally prefer SE UI and design, this does not mean I am an SE fanboy
I get tared with that brush because I dare to argue pro SE stances when I think it's warranted. Just because Nokia diehards don't agree with me doesn't mean I must be a fanboy. I'm capable of recognising the good and the bad on both sides of the fence.
@GUCCI.011, I like the 5310 because as a dedicated mplayer it rules, with A2DP, games and internet, 3.5mm socket and large dedicated music buttons. Keypad is excellent which makes adding playlists or browsing the web a pleasure.
However it's s40 has some serious disadvantages compared to SE A200. No bluetooth in flight mode sucks, no task manager, can't minimise java apps. Physical factors against the 5310 - the screen is way too small, the headset is too bulky.
There is not a music phone anywhere (even W890) that is smaller and lighter. It's an absolute gem as a music player. However the W910 is a much more flexible phone. Even say a W610 which competes with the 5310 is a much better option for a feature phone that needs more than just good music features.

But you said W910 was a very capable MP3 player. How does it compare to 5310, in sound quality

I've used both these phones aswell, the nokia has the edge in sound quality, More dynamic/punchy sound and goes quite a bit louder than the w910i
