nokia 5500 or 5300?

Answer 1

Seems the higher the number the better features the phone has. The nokia 5500 has neat features as stated in one review.

A single button serves to activate three dedicated "modes" - a phone mode to stay in touch, the music mode to unwind or power-up, and the sports mode to help you break a sweat. The Nokia 5500 Sport also offers "text-to-speech" technology. Don't take your eyes off the track or that magazine, just tap the Nokia 5500 Sport and the message is read out to you. In sports mode, the Nokia 5500 Sport reads the status of your workout, allowing you to stay focused on the task, or the excercise, at hand.


There is always a difference of what colors are available. But nearly the same as the 5300 but with the above extra features.
The 5300 was available in Europe first before it migrated to the Americas. In Europe you would have more need of the GSM mode than in the USA.

But the Nokia 5500 would be the choice for me.
