As it has announced during the 3GSM fair in Barcelona, T-Mobile released the Nokia 5300 XpressMusic cellphone, a handset specially designed to provide its future users the best music experience one can achieve while being mobile.

The phone has a slider form factor and comes with a 262k colors QVGA LCD TFT display working at a 20x320 pixels resolution, a 1.3 megapixel digital camera with video playback and camcorder abilities and a microSD/TransFlash memory expansion card slot that can go up to 2 GB, ready to kick in when the user needs more storage space for its favorite multimedia files.

The handset also sports Bluetooth 2.0 with stereo A2DP profile, USB 2.0 connectivity, EDGE and GPRS data transfer technologies, 5MB of built-in memory, dedicated music buttons, some free tracks from Yahoo! Music, an Email client with support for POP3, IMAP4 and SMTP protocols, an FM radio so you will always be able to listen your favorite stations even when on-the-go and Java MIDP 2.0 technology so you can play the latest games.

Although it doesn't have an out of the ordinary spec sheet, this handset is still able to appear as quite attractive for most people that want to buy a mobile phone easy to use and capable of playing music. And, when one starts talking about playing music, this is a phone completely equipped for such a task.

It has a music player with support for MP3, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+ and WMA audio files, this being the feature that makes it so suitable for young users with a lot of love for music and not giving a damn if their handset doesn't have a business look.

T-Mobile has already published on their website a page where you can sign-up so they can tell you when the Nokia 5300 will be available. The page can be found here and if you are curious, the phone will sell at a price of 99 $, of course, that is if you're ready to sign a 2 year agreement with the carrier.
