The Nokia 5300 aims at young audience, due to it’s sportive design and functionalities. There’s no doubt this mobile phone is built for fun.

The mobile phone measures 92.4 x 48.2 x 20.7, being a normal size slider phone. On the left side, near the display, it has 3 music keys ( back, play/pause and forward ), covered by rubber. They are very well positioned and lovely to press.

On the right side, there are the volume keys and camera shutter.

The 1.3 megapixel camera is placed on the back of the phone and offer a whopping 8x digital zoom. The camera takes photos at good speeds, about 3 seconds in normal conditions and 4-5 seconds in poor light conditions. IT’s maximum resolution is 1280 x 1024, offeres seversal image effects and the photo quality is pretty low, comparing to other 1.3 megapixel phones.
The Nokia 5300 has a low capacity battery, of 760 mAh and should have a lifetime of 223 hours and standby and 3.2 hours of talk time. The microSD memory card slot is pretty well placed, being hot swappable. You only have to takeoff the cover to get to it.

The phone is very smooth to open and close, it’s keyboard is great, with keys being very easy to touch, great for SMS writing.

It’s using an updated interface of Nokia series 40, which is pretty nice, functional and customizable. It also has the Flash Lite 2.0 Application, which is great. Also, it is close to the symbian versions, due to it’s active display option, which puts on the display the calendar meetings, playing songs and other useful stuff.

The Nokia 5300’s memory can hold up to 1000 contacts with lots of details each.

The Music Player is very good and can play a lot of file types: AAC, AAC+, eAAC, eAAC+, MP3, MP4, WMA, and AMR.

Motorola RIZR review

Motorola RIZR has a great design and display, but it has a low quality camera, it’s microSD memory card is placed in an inconvenient location and the speaker’s quality is very low.

RIZR is Motorola’s first attemp to build a good slider mobile phone and it seems it succeeded, because the phone is great, in general manners.

It has a 262k colors TFT display, which is highly improved, comparing to RAZR or KRZR. The keyboard is also improved and though they are very flat, it’s easy to press them and there’s a line between them to keep you away from pressing others by mistake.

On it’s right side you can find a mini-USB+charger port+headset jack all in one, a camera shutter and a voice dialing button.

The 2 megapixel camera takes very low quality photos. The photos are blurry, colors are not sharp and the shots are dark.

The battery’s lief is 6.6 hours talk time and almost 15 days in standby.
