The phone is good really, s60 3er, you can run sis & sisx application, music are great, what I didn't like in it is the poor camera 2 mp.

The battery are week, I think it can't handle a phone like 5320, you know the 369 Mhz process, the big ram, the phone need a better battery not that junk BL-5B, that was a stupid move from Nokia : (.

The phone made by poor plastic.

If you want s60 Operating System, you don't want ngage game or s60 3er application than go & buy a 6303 this will be better for you,

if you can't handle the s40 Operating System, & want some more from your phone get a 5320, it is my phone I am happy with it :D.

- Excellent design.
- Cool features.
- But the body had to be stronger.
- Display could be larger.
- The most weak part is the battery.
- I love my 5320.

This phone is one of the best phones ever released by Nokia. It is really cheap for a normal person to buy it. It is also having a superb sound. You can understand it when you listen to it. Actually I am a Sony Ericsson lover but it is exceptional this phone. I really love this phone, that's all!

I've had this phone 5 days, & recharged it twice already. But what can you expect with a phone that does so much?

- Reception is sweet (3G appears better than GSM).
- Navigating around is very intuitive.
- Hooking up to audio equipment through 3.5mm jack is so sensible!
- Bought a new Pioneer DEHP65BT head unit cos the Bluetooth connected to it in the store easy as.
- Surfing through Windows XP (desktop) is easy.
- Surfing through Xandros Linux (Asus Eee 4G) fairly easily (after reverting to the normal Xandros desktop).
- Setting the alarm is awesome cos it shows how many hours you have to sleep until the alarm goes off.
- Texting satisfies me (some handy left & right navigation through inbox, drafts, sent & open texts).
- Texting through the Nokia PC Suite is a pleasure (not sure you can do this through Linux).
- Exporting my texts to CSV format is fine with me.

I am so going to enjoy listening to all my music through this thing when I buy an 8GB microSD card! If you're comfortable with GUI's & want all these features, you're gonna love this phone!

Pity it doesn't have a little LED to flash when you have new texts waiting! As for the games, pdf, web & other features. They are probably awesome but just too scary for me!

Paid full price for this phone, & I don't see how I am gonna regret it. As a Computer Systems Engineer I doubt you can get much better for the price.

Hi! Bought this phone in October. Got a blue & black which is fine. Everything works well till now except music player & real player. Music player works well but when I keep forwarding the songs for some number of times it gets closed & I have to start it again. & the real player makes my phone to restart by itself when I open video files that too happens when I open the real player after some days without using it. But nothing to worry about these because they take less than a minute to do these. May because I installed lots of cracked applications so have to update my software to see whether it gets better. Other than these everything works well.

- Design, fine glossy surface but the music keys in the side seems to be dancing :P.

- Music & video, very good, I installed smart movie & Divx player to play avi files.

- Camera, looks good when you see it in your phone, but not much clear in PC, because its only 2MP la!

- Video, change your settings to high quality videos which takes more size for videos but you can get mp4 videos. Its good with a 2MP camera.

- Office, I updated my phone software without backing its contents so lost the license file which is needed to create new docs, xls, ppt, etc. But it opens the files :).

- Games, gaming (java, symbian) is good, I played ngage trial games, they too good.

- Memory, I got 1GB card which is enough for me, & it got 140 mb internal, 85MB free executable RAM, it got a very speed processor which everyone will agree.

- Internet, net usage is good, I used it only once have to try it again.

- Applications, you can install java, symbian applications easily.

To know more about this phone search about it technical specifications in Nokia forum.

Overall, very good phone for its value :). For any doubts post here! & it doesn't make any problem while sending messages or during calls.

5320 is really great phone with required featured like Symbian OS, Music Express & N gage. It is Smartphone so that you can add multiple application in this phone as it is having 140Mb of internal memory & you can upgrade your external memory up to 8GB. Its performs well when multitasking as it is having 369 Mhz process with good management of RAM. Battery Life is also Good. You cannot buy any other mobile with such feature in this midrange price.

Hi guys got this phone 2 weeks back & upgraded for 4GB card. It is good phone with a small but bright display, decent loudspeaker, good processor phone, & good amount of ram which makes multitasking excellent.

In fact it has loads of features with such low price product, usability also is cool but keypad is bit cramped it could have been bit spacious like Nokia E50 or Nokia 6233.MP3 playback is good & ahead of Sony Ericsson mobiles with 3.5 jack, which makes good value for the money.

FM radio with RDS is not so good compared with Sony Ericsson phones. Rarely it does hang but nothing to worry. The biggest drawback is 890 mah BL 5B.

It's battery life which is really bad. Battery Specs, a fully charged battery can provide up to 250 hours of standby battery time, 3.5 hours of GSM talk time, 2.5 hours of WCDMA talk time, 4.5 hours of game playing battery time or up to 24 hours of music playback.

Though it looks impressive on paper, but real life figures aren't mind-blowing by any means & performance turned out average. Every other day I had charge, with lot of settings like (reducing the light timeout, turning off 3G or i.e. dual mode switching the screen saver off)my usage was like one hour gaming, 2 hours talk time, 2 to 4 hours music.

Summing up together, it is wonderful phone for music lovers, Excellent features with good usability & with few drawbacks. I hope my review helps others.

Actually the thing is this that Nokia 5320 is the Symbian & I love the Symbian phone :) but it has the new audio chip & I can hope it's going to compromise in any aspects of the phone like 5700 don't have good quality sound in earphones otherwise 5700 was the blast & again let me remind you all that its Symbian because it has the menu key & some else mentioned that it's not Symbian :) I can also hope it has the camera like n71 :) I love the camera of N71 & E70 its 2MP but nice quality.

Wow! Nokia is enlarging its XpressMusic range.

The Nokia Say & Play works by holding the dedicated button above the XpressMusic logo, say the name of your artist & song & let the music begin.

It's battery life is not really bad, a fully charged battery can provide up to 250 hours of standby battery time, 3.5 hours of GSM talk time, 2.5 hours of WCDMA talk time, 4.5 hours of game playing battery time or up to 24 hours of music playback.

The Nokia 5320 XpressMusic is expected to begin shipping in the third quarter of 2008 with an estimated retail price of 220 EUR before taxes & subsidies.
