Nokia 5300 Black in-depth review - Introduction & Design

IntroductionNokia has been pushing their high-end N-Series "multimedia computer" handsets in the United States over the past year, going so far as to open flagship stores in New York and Chicago where consumers can purchase the devices unlocked for use on T-Mobile, Cingular, and other GSM networks.  The Finnish cellular giant's business devices have also been gaining a little traction here in the states, with the E62 holding a place down in Cingular's smartphone lineup.  Now Nokia...

Nokia 5300 Black in-depth review - Features

FeaturesMusic is the main draw of the 5300.  Nokia's music player arranges your tracks in iPod-like fashion, letting you browse according to Artists, Albums, Genres, Composers, and user-deinfed playlists.  Songs can be loaded direct from a computer via USB or bluetooth, or using the included mini-USB cable.

Nokia 5300 Black in-depth review - Messaging, Internet & Connectivity

MessagingMessaging on the 5300 includes SMS and MMS as well as IM support for AOL, ICQ, Windows Messenger, and Yahoo!; Email is not supported by a dedicated client, though T-Mobile's T-Zones service does provide a very rudimentary email service accessible via WAP browser.  As such, the 5300 is just fine for occasional messaging, but certainly not the device for anyone who needs mobile Email on a regular basis.  Text entry is made easier by Nokia's predictive text input system, which...

Nokia 5300 Black in-depth review - Conclusion

ConclusionI've always been a fan of Nokia handsets.  They're generally built to high standards and feature attractive, logical menu systems, and solid features, even if they're a little less trendy than their competitors when it comes to style.  The new Nokia 5300 XpressMusic for T-Mobile brings a little bit of flair to the Finnish phone maker's sturdy style, combining a sporty color scheme with rounded edges, external media controls, and an easy-grip rubberized exterior.  The...
