For the higher-end segment, Nokia has already released the Nokia N-Series Music Edition, which features remakes of the N70 and N73. Nokia has also announced the upcoming remake of the Nokia 3250, which will be called the Nokia 3250 XpressMusic. This phone will also be targeted at the higher-end market. This leaves the Nokia 5300 XpressMusic to handle the lower to mid-range markets. With its flashy and cute colours, it's definitely eye-catching. For those who don't like the flamboyant red and white combination, they can opt for the black and white variant. If the bright colours are not enough, the excellent placements and layout of the dedicated music keys gives it a really fresh look, The Nokia 5300 definitely looks different from all other music phones in the market. To top it all off, you get great built quality, Nokia's signature user-friendly firmware and superior audio playback quality. This phone certainly offers value for money. Currently retailing at about RM 1000 without a service plan or USD 270 on Pricegrabber, it is a good buy. If you are looking for a Nokia music phone that is not too expensive, you should definitely take a look at the Nokia 5300 XpressMusic. For more details, read our Comprehensive Review! |

Our Review System
Tech ARP is committed to developing new ways to improve your experience with us. As part of our continuous efforts to improve the value of our reviews to you, we are implementing a multi-tier review system.
This review system is designed to allow you to quickly receive information on the latest hardware or software. This new system also allows you to quickly get the gist of the review without reading through it. This can be very useful, especially in situations where you need to make a quick purchase decision.
In this new system, we start with a Product Overview whenever a company sends us a press release about their latest product. We shift through extraneous PR-talk to create a straightforward summary of the product's features as well as specifications. This allows you to quickly find out all the pertinent details about the product, without reading through official press releases.
When we receive the product for review, we will quickly take photos of it and create a Pictorial Review. The purpose of a pictorial review is to allow you, the reader, to quickly examine the product visually. It may help you make better purchase decisions, especially if you cannot wait for the full review.
After thorough testing, we will post a Comprehensive Review of the product. This adds on to the pictorial review with comprehensive test results and our final conclusion on the product.
But no matter whether you are reading a Pictorial Review or a Comprehensive Review, you can always read the summary of the review as well as examine the product's specifications right on the first page. In all our new reviews, we will maintain the first page as a Product Overview page. If the product is listed in PriceGrabber, you can also check out the lowest price online.
We hope this new review system will make your experience a lot more enjoyable and informative!
