The Nokia 5300 is the latest release of Music Phones from Nokia. Carrying the XpressMusic badge, this phone is built for music lovers with dedicated music keys on the handset rather than having to labor through menus to skip, repeat etc tracks.

The Nokia 5300 also has expandable memory up to 2GB which is a boot load of tracks, somewhere around 500, and with that sort of memory it starts to make an ipod look a little boring! The handset also has a 2.5mm audio jack to directly plug in your favorite set of headphones or, what’s even better is the phone is compatible with bluetooth stereo headsets for music without wires. Nokia make a bluetooth stereo headset that can easily switch between music and calls which also folds up to a neat size.

The Nokia 5300 is a very neat slider style phone packed with features and bound to be an iPod killer.
