Positive, this phone is cool, can play musics, videos, has cool graphics, screensavers, has a voice command, music keys, easy memory card slot, & more.

Negative, can't play some videos, its dowloaded game is only Bounce tale & Snake 3, the speaker is in the back so you can't hear music clearly if its lying down.

Other, but if you want a phone that can be an MP3 buy this! I dare you.

Wow I can hear the mobile phone rings & hear clearly as I bought this 5130 at Carphone Warehouse, & it's nice & light, & big fingers work, the keypad is OK. I also like the flashing lights when it's ringing. Nice one Nokia.

Oh Katie did you manage to catch up with your Xmas. HAPPY NEW YEAR readers.

This is a very good phone. It has memory features up to 2 GB (memory card). The other features are also great & it's one of the best mobiles from Nokia apart from its look & screen size. The audio output is outstanding & it's a great value for money.

I should be Xmas shopping but instead I am here playing with the new phone I have bought for my youngest son, got a great deal on contact & although this phone maybe a little basic for some it will suit my sons needs perfectly. It really looks good & I am changing his wallpapers etc to give it a more boyish feel, he is going to be so happy to receive this in two days time. Worth the money, leaving more to spend on other gifts & stocking fillers. Merry Xmas All. Love Katie.

Fantastic Phone!

Good features for a low cost Music Phone. Though lacking an Active standby option, other functions of the phone compensates for the lack of this display option.

Loud Speakers are excellent even for a small phone even if it lacks the proper bass. The 3.5mm Audio Jack port is & added feature if you want to use your favourite ear buds, in my case my Genius In Earphones.

I have always been a loyal Nokia fan but this phone will ensure I check out the other brands next time I buy.

The main reason is the ridiculous battery life. With all the gimmicky lights & sounds turned off, the power saver on & the phone only being on standby the battery struggles to last 48 hrs much less than Nokia claim. As soon as you make calls or play music watch the battery level plummet. The camera at 2MP should be very good as my 3110 1.3MP was excellent. Well it isn't. The camera has a terrible autofocus & it cannot handle any sort of reflection. The quality of the inbuilt speaker sounds similar to my transistor radio of the 60's.

The only positives I can give are the looks, the size & keyboard. All very good in my opinion.

It's really a good phone, I love its features it so simple to use & very user friendly. It's a good phone easy to hold, light weight. Good speaker & nice sounds when you're using a headphone. I got mine with the updated firmware 6.65 & I think this phone can sustain an 8 gig memory. I am still doing my research.

Value for money buy. Very good phone. Its price. Great features however two drawbacks which I can see within first few days of usage.

- Long usage of camera making phone hanged (& will only work post removing & reinserting batteries as even reboot doesn't work).

- Image quality form camera drastically reduced within few days (lot of coloured dots coming in photos).

Whenever I purchase anything my first consideration is value for money. This phone got me pulling out my credit card after a demo presentation by the sales clerk. It has all that I need in a handy device. But its most impressive feature is the audio quality. I use a very high quality ear phone (inner ear type) & I must say the output is fantastic. Sharp, clear, bass & treble are great & I don't even need to turn the volume all the way up. There are a slew of features that if mentioned here. I would eat up much space. In conclusion, the 5130 Xpress Music is a great buy!

This phones design is good for its range & quite stylish compared to other phones in its range. It has everything most people need from a phone, its external memory is expandable to 8GB & has good applications. The usability is very easy apart from a few bits, it is difficult to insert & remove SIM card, & the screen has rubbish quality, in daylight it is difficult to see stuff on the screen & you need to hold the phone in a angle to see, even from comparing to other phones its screen is less brighter, because of this problem you would have to find a bright theme & the phone comes with dim ones. The Nokia 6300 has better screen resolution (16m) & this phone only has (256k). The screen is also smaller than it's supposed to be.

You have got to believe me. You got to buy this phone even if you have a N96. It's just awesome. It rocks. It is easy to handle, got so many features in it.

Description, all in one. You have an MP3, MP4, game station, PC in the 5130 XpressMusic if you go way too deep in it.

You must have to believe me. It is ever best phone for the user who loves music. Excellent output in comparison with Nokia 5310, supernova 7210, fast gprs speed. Fully automatic settings & easy accessibility to any feature. I just loved that phone & one more don't go for its look only, rather its usability is more than its look, it's cheap also so music lovers buy & enjoy.
