why is nokia 5300 priced over nokia 5200 despite of some little differences ?

Definetly the 5300 is a better phon, much better....heres why....

At the same time, differences between Nokia’s products and Walkman range are of some interest as well. Here is a short list of distinctions for the 5300:

* While sound quality is comparable, Walkman’s default earphones perform better.

* No way to use a remote control, like that available for Walkman device, for example the HPM-82.

* While volume of memory cards is comparable, price for Sony M2 is higher by 20-30 percent, though sales packages feature bigger memory cards.

* Implementation of A2DP-profile is superior on Sony Ericsson-branded phones.

* Availability of progressive rewind.

* More customizable equalizers.

* Better playlists management.

* Disc2Phone for PC allows converting tracks into MP3-format at various bitrate, move flexible settings

* Support forAlbum Arts (Walkman 2.0).

* Music recognition feature (TrackID for Walkman 2.0).

Camera. The handset houses a 1.3 Mpix camera, which is quite incapable in light of the nowadays criteria, but still enough for a model coming from the mid segment. Despite the proposals, already armed with 2 Mpix camera modules, the 5300 is not a camera-centric phone and therefore carries one of the cheapest solutions, providing fairly poor quality. In the sense of camera the brand-new 5300 acts exactly in the same way as Nokia 6131, but owing to updated software, shots look slightly better, though no groundbreaking changes have been introduced. The camera application works in landscape mode, which makes it more convenient to handle, even though finger always tries to cover the lens – but it’s a thing you get used to in no time.
