Not stereo in FM

Why my Nokia 5300 has only mono radio FM? After setting "stereo" - the "mono" music in radio FM play...

Poor slide construction

After 18 days of light usage, this phones connectivity between sliding halfs became intermittent. A real pain, and the carrier would not upgrade or change phone in any way! Junk.

Really poor quality

I purchased this phone in April 2007 and was very happy with it. It has plenty of features to lure me in and I like the slide design and the leather case. However, one day after church I looked at my phone and it had some black spots on a white background as if the lcd was destroyed. The phone functioned but is pretty much unusable without the screen. So I was suckered into believing there was nothing I could do about it (this happened in december), so liking the design, I bought a new one.


The replacement broke during a class at school last week. now I am really upset. I would recommend not buying this phone. Even if you take perfect care of it, you are looking at less than a year before it breaks without your help.

2 out of 3

Piece of crap - going in for it's second repair in less than five weeks - Nokia will not replace it and call centre would not escalate me higher than supervisor - save your money -stay away from Nokia phones - phone sucks and so does customer service when something goes wrong.

Has some flaws, but a great mp3 player and good signal

I like this phone for the mp3 player, the sound is great, it gets great signal, the camera takes lousy pictures inside, even with good lighting, it takes ok pictures outside in daylight, not a big issue with me, I bought it for the mp3 player, I like that it has an organizer with a calendar, I've heard that it is a fragile phone and I haven't had it that long so I will be careful with it, I ordered a clear case to protect it and never put it in my pocket, just the belt case, the mp3 has awesome sound and holds up to a 2 gig SD card, I bought this from t-mobile and found out they have crippled this phone from downloading 3rd party apps, so the software from Nokia does very little except it will rip CD's directly to your phone and that is a good feature, I like that you can put gifs as your wall paper and screensaver, the battery seems to drain pretty fast but I have been using it a lot seeing it's a new phone, I just keep a charger in my car and office, it should have come with a regular headphone jack not the smaller one that it has, you have to use an adapter that comes with it, I bought a pair of Body glove headphones and you have to use the adapter from the body glove to so I have to plug in 2 adapters than the headphones, then the function button on the cord won't work, average phone.
