- Nokia 5300 XpressMusic Lilac Phone (T-Mobile)

The display is clear, bright and LARGE! Beautiful screen. The size of the phone is no where as thin as a RAZR, but since I'm used to the V300, it's pretty much the same size and a bit lighter in weight.

The slide on this phone is smooth, but since I'm new to this design I have no comparison. I hope it holds up as well as the flip design, but I would imagine that depends upon me. "Gently" would be the key word when using this phone.

A rubberized grip (the color) is on the side and back of the phone. Volume control, fwd, rwd, pause, play and camera buttons are on the side with the camera lens on the back of the phone.

This is a fun phone with many options. It was 'free' with a 2yr contract re-up on TMobile.com, and the SIM card can go back into my V300 if for some reason durability is an issue down the road. I think as long as you are careful with your Nokia 5300 XpressMusic phone, it will keep you smiling for some time to come.
