I recently purchased the Nokia 5130 (blue trim). A very nice pay-as-you-go cell phone.

Pros:

2.0mp camera – low quality but decent for a quick capture when comparison shopping to refer to at the next store or at home. Also good for capturing a photo of your contacts to add to their profile.

External speaker for music – loud enough to hear from my holster when I forget my headphones and I'm BBQing outside.

3.5mm headphone jack – use your current favourite headphones, no hassle.

FM Radio – great feature. You have to use your headphones to act as the antenna.

Dedicated control buttons for music – Easy to use when playing MP3s or Radio while working out at the gym.

Cutomizable – wallpaper, ring tones, Assigning buttons.

2″ colour screen – so much easier to look at.

1 Gb memory card – comes with some sample music and Guitar Rock Tour Game. In addition to the games that come with the phone. Room to add more of your favourite music.

Cons:

No holster – I suppose that way you get the one you like.

Directional Key Pad – gets pressed easily in the holster or pocket and usually turns on the camera. I set the key pad to lock when I'm not using it, that seems to work.

Downloads – not many available at Nokia site. I'll have to seek out unofficial sites.

No QWERTY keypad – this would be nice, maybe on the next new 7-11 phone.

Battery time – I've played with it quite a bit and had to charge it at least every other day. I thought it would last longer.

Update June 20th, 2010:
I've been using the phone for close to a year now without any issues, though I've never dropped it which makes a big difference. It still works like new, and the battery still holds it's charge like when I first got it. I've been using it sparingly for phoning, but a fair bit for texting, playing mp3's and as an organizer. The music player works decent, but I find the shuffle setting repeats song too frequently so I have to forward to the next song to try and get something new. To get around the direction key pad issue (the camera used to turn on when I put the phone in my holster – the up direction on the key pad is easily pushed) I customized the up direction to have no setting so that pressing it does nothing. Never had a problem since. Another tip that works well with any phone with an external speaker: if you're making a phone call in a loud place, once you're on the call the option to switch to loudspeaker appears in the bottom right. Click that and you'll be able to hear really well. This allows you to speak hands free while driving too, I just place it in an inexpensive GPS style windshield mount that can be bought at Canadian Tire or other stores. I'm still liking the phone after a almost a year, that's a good sign

I dont care so much about unlocking but since our speakout 5130 only has the old 6.65 firmware I am in the process of updating mine. I am unfamiliar with mobile phones in general and unlocking is another level. However, this video shows it can be programmed:

use this mod at your own risk

I'll wait to hear from others before going ahead with that. They ask for your IMEI number, isn't that risky?
