“In many respects launch of Nokia 5300 is a momentous event, as this is the first mid-end device living up to the title of a music-optimized solution and on top of that- the S40’s first XpressMusic offspring. The choice of form-factor for the 5300 has been pre-defined by Sony Ericsson’s efforts – there were times Walkman-branded phones packed all their features only into candy-bar shaped shell, a little bit later clamshells started getting “W” letters as well, and only now the market sees the release of a slider – Sony Ericsson W850i. Over at Sony Ericsson, they attribute sliding casing to top-notch solution and keeping that in mind, they implemented it into Walkman range flagship (in fact there are two of them – the W850i and the W950i). Launch of an identically-formed handset by Nokia is a well-planned riposte, especially considering lower price of Nokia’s solutions; generally speaking, these are phones of two different price-brackets, but similar type. Thus a certain part of the audience might go for Nokia’s slider in view of price advantage and proper positioning.” Read this review here:
