T-Mobile gets Nokia 5300

Confirming earlier suspicions, the Nokia 5300 XpressMusic will be carried natively in the US, specifically by T-Mobile. The phone could previously be used here, but only if bought unlocked for over $300. Under the new T-Mobile arrangement, starting February 28th, customers will be able to pay as little as $99 for the phone with a two-year contract. The phone is a quad-band GSM unit with EDGE broadband, and as the name implies, it is specially designed for music. Control buttons are located alongside the display, and an adapter is included to use any headphones of choice. Tracks can be loaded through a slot that supports microSD cards up to 2GB. Yahoo Music is the official download partner for the phone and will be offering three free tracks. [via Crave]
