The Nokia 5300 XpressMusic is a mid-range slider phone that offers a host of music-centric features. With one-button access to the music player, it attempts to send your MP3 player to the bottom of your junk drawer, as well as serve as a converged handset that can handle all of your calling, Web-surfing, and photography needs.

The 5300 is compact and its multi-colored design gives it a fresh, young appearance that will appeal to the hipper crowd. Based on Nokia's Series 40 platform, the user interface is easily customized to match whatever your mood is, and you can share that mood by blasting your tunes through the 5300's loud internal speaker. As solid as the music player options are, though, is it enough to make you forget about your iPod? Find out.
