    This mobile is great Value for Money.It has all the good quality for a good Music Phone. But, the problrm with this phone is it’s Camera Picture quality , which is not upto the mark.But, still the images are good, once transfered into PC. It is great asset to have for the money you spent.

    I want to purchase mobile, so this is a good choice for me as a musice phone or first phone.

    I purchased Nokia 5130 xpress music mobile (blue). It can playback videos in excellent quality in 320×240 resolution even though it supports only 15 frames per second. If you own this mobile, use some good video converters like Ultra MP4 or Mobirise and rip some Divx / DVD movies to MP4/3GP and try it in your mobile once. You will definitely find the value for your money. Also it supports 4GB micro SD. I use the same and loaded with more than 5 full length movies, some video songs and clips. Only drawback is, the earphone which Nokia provided is of poor quality. Buy some good earphone like Apple/Creative/Sony.. and use. And don’t forget to update your phone firmware with the latest one after purchase.

    For those who don’t know how to update the firmware, you need to install this free PC software from Nokia:
    http://europe.nokia.com/get-support-and-software/download-software/device-software-update
    Firmware is the phone’s operating system, an update will sometimes fix bugs and/or add features. Be careful, if you’re not too sure what you’re doing then don’t update the firmware, because if it fails, the phone will stop working. Make sure your battery is full first.

    Been using this phone since a long time, except from the slow OS and a bit average camera this phone is great in this price. Definitely worth every penny. I also posted a review here http://www.pakreviews.com/mobile-phones/nokia-5130-xpressmusic/reviews
