The Nokia 5310 XpressMusic is sure to get a good market just for its looks. On either side of the screen are red (or blue) strips, the one on the left having the music dedicated keys. The keypad has a glossy finish to it and is very comfortable. It has all the usual keys. On the top of the phone is the microUSB port, the switch on / switch off key and the 3.5 mm headset jack. The fact that the headset jack doesn´t have a cover clearly suggests that the user will use the headphone more often than not. The top left side of the phone houses the charger port. Most of the back part of the phone is taken by the battery case, which is made of metal. The work NOKIA is written on the right side in the colour you have chosen for the phone. The camera is on the top of the back of the phone. The volume rocker is on the right side of the phone.

All - in - all, the Nokia 5310 XpressMusic is the most slim and the best music offering in the market. It has already sold over a million units and Nokia will surely be looking at sending out another million of this phone into the market!
