Pretty good!

I've had my 5300 since March.
I'm not the careful of people with my phones and I've dropped it repeatedly (oblivious not on purpose), despite this my phone has continued to work well up until recently when I began to receive no signal where ever I am. I sent it back to 02 to be repaired and when I got it back, although the signal worked slightly better it still continues to fail for long periods of time.
Despite this, the phone itself is excellent. The quality is great and it's really easy to use!
I love this phone and imp quite upset to have to buy a different on because of my clumsiness!
Okay Smart Phone

This is an okay phone. It is butt ugly, but ugly and beauty are in the eye of the beholder. The music features work well for those who have their music as many short tracks. However, I like getting 10-15 hour audio books (wma format with Digital Rights management). The problem is that the music player views these as one track (a 15 hour track). If you are half way through the book, and you either shut down the phone or accidentally go to the next track (which I did this morning with the phone in my pocket), I has a 5 second fast forward mechanism, which makes advancing 7.5 hours SLOW and TEDIOUS. GRRRR! That is my biggest grip with this phone. There is a way to edit fast forward for the media player, BUT NOT the music player.
I think for most people, this phone will fit or exceed their expectations. For me, there are serious flaws, but overall I like the phone at the price I got it ($30 from T-Mobile). I am not willing to spend lots of money for phones. I considered getting a "free" Blackjack by going through Let's Talk and changing to AT&T. But the AT&T plan is more expensive than the comparable T-Mobile plan (a family plan with 4-lines) plus the activation fees. I look at the total cost of running a phone for the cost of a phone, especially since these are usually 2-year contracts we're talking about.
The other features of the phone are nice. I'm sure in the next year there will be many inexpensive smart phones coming out. My advice, know what you want before you buy. Especially if you're with T-Mobile, because T-Mobile cripples the software API on their phones so you can't download third party apps the way you can with some other phone companies (or, as in my case, write some of my own apps for the phone). See if the phone will really fit what you want it to do.
overall good (shitty speaker)

I love this phone. I got it or my birthday. But just recently it broke. I am now really depressed but I do have to agree. It was my fault it broke and it is a great phone. You just have to be careful with it. I really hope I can get another one like it. I miss this phone =[
