Music Is My Beach House

You know what's a really handy feature for the flat-face candy bar phones? Automatic key lock. You see, my first phone had a manual lock that I was always forgetting to factor in, leading to phone calls from my purse to my ex-boyfriend's family. True story.

My point is that WOM World invited me to test out the Nokia 5310 phone for a couple weeks and how could I resist? (FYI, I was not compensated to do this. I wanted to try out a new phone just for kicks and told them I'd give them an honest review. Fair? Fair.)


The Nokia 5310 is a sleek little piece of technology marketed towards music lovers. It features 1GB of memory for tunes, in addition to the typical phone stuff. The navigation was user-friendly for the music features and I was very much impressed by the sound quality. I liked the simple red and black design and it was also lightweight.

There is a trade-off in music capabilities instead of other popular features like internet access and a good camera. Basically, if you're looking for a reasonably priced music phone, I can honestly say that this is a great option. However, with all the other nifty updates that phones are getting these days, Nokia may want to have the 5310 move in that direction.

That is a sexy-looking little phone.

I'm jealous. Nokia. Send me phones to try. I promise not to compare them to earthworms, pineapples, or small furry rodents. Promise.

P.S. Excited for a new Office?

I got to review the phone too, and I was definitely more excited about the music capabilities than the internet speed.

One of the main reasons I got an LG Chocolate (which is a slider phone) was to save me from making embarrassing phone calls from my purse. It automatically locks when it is closed and not in use. Very helpful!
