T-Mobiles best music phone is a cuddly thing, a fun $99 device that syncs beautifully with Windows Media Player. The Nokia 5300 XpressMusic is a very good buy for a midrange device, provided you like its cheerfully quirky look...

Cute. Great music player. Compatible with Windows Media music stores. Easy to use. Terrific screen.

Popular applications such as Opera Mini are blocked. Battery life could be better. Voice dialing is poor.
