Music has always been an integral part of our lives over the years. Infact our relationship with music is as old as the human civilization itself. So it was quite obvious that when mobile phones came into being, it manufacturers steadily added more and more music feature to them to crave out a special place in their consumer's heart. From initial simple melody as ringtones to polyphonic ringtones and subsequently to fully evolved media players – it has been an upwardly journey for music phones.



Being a global leader, the onus was on Nokia to win back the initiative in music phone category after Sony Ericsson's handsets rapidly started to eat up into their territory. Inclusion of popular brand name Walkman into their music phones seemed to work like a dream. Not to be left behind, the Finnish manufacturers too stared off with their own version of music phone line up – Xpress Music. The Nokia 5300 is one of the mainstay of this musical family, contributing greatly for the cause of Nokia's global leadership.

The triband Nokia 5300 is easily identifiable with its white patches with red or black elements. The slider has dedicated media keys on one side to bear testimony of its music playing capabilities. The handset's media player is compatible with almost all types of popular media formats including Mp3 and AAC. High definition sounds are produced on the integrated speakers or on the standard headset supplied with the Nokia 5300. However, with its 3.5 mm audio jack, you might like to plug in your favourite pair of headset. A2DP Bluetooth profile of the Nokia 5300 also gives you the provision to enjoy your music wirelessly. The handset's internal memory of 5 Mb might sound like a lot less for a music phone, however, you can always expand the phone's memory up to 2GB with external microSD memory card.

The Nokia 5300 is a great music phone with integrated camera, mobile internet and all necessary connectivity tools one needs in the modern world.
