Ewan: "The battery life for music players is now squarely in the same ballpark as similar mobile music players. I'm going to make the obvious comparison to the iPhone here, which has 19 hours of music playback (the Touch has 22 hours), but the 5320 is a big step up compared to the N95's 11 hours and the N95 8GB's 13 hours.
While it carries the branding of the XpressMusic phone, the 5320 does appear to be this Christmas season's 'standard' S60 phone. The one you turn to that has no fancy toys or gimmicks, but is the baseline of Nokia's expectations of S60. As such it's good to see the inclusion of both the Ovi ecosystem and the N-Gage platform in a non N-Series device."
