The phone is extremly satisfying. Music & batterry backup will gradually pick up after a week of usage. But the specification mentioned here regarding the memory card support which is upto 2GB & not 8GB. Never try to extend the memory capacity more than 2GB. Also if you are using 1GB fully loaded card it will not hang at all. so you can think about the new collection

oh and all those sony ericsson fan boys bragging about the walkman phones. all i can say is LOL, you guys are getting scammed, your paying extra for a freaking 3.5mm adaptor and shiny new paint (that will peel/fade/crack in about 2-3 months) and a gimmicky music interface and ofcourse the gimmick of all gimmicks, the MegaBass®.
the sound quality between a "regular" SE phone and its "Walkman" iteration is just the same, the Walkman sound a bit better because of the headphones provided.
the old w610i is more expensive than 5310 and 5220 how ridiculous is that?
xpressmusic phones released since the 5310 beat walkmans anyday (yes, even with megabass on). sony ericsson is just relying on the power of the walkman brand while not providing "walkman" quality audio / hardware.
if you want a real walkman phone, go to japan (p.s. even the japanese walkman phones dont have a 3.5mm jack though.)
the only brand that can beat or match nokia right now in sound quality are Motorola, Samsung and probably iPhone.

sajid {bd}, 15 Nov 2008never buy this stupid phone...all that glitter isnt gold at... morehow the heck can the back color fade when its made of rubber? maybe your talking about the nokia / xpressmusic insignia on the back cover? i have the phone for 3 months now and its still there, maybe you have sweaty hands or something.
if you guys update to 4.86 the problems will be 90% gone. the frequency of the hangs / glitches with be down to like once a month or less.
seriously, if you really have the phone use the freaking warranty nokia gave you. you know, that blue thing you fillup with your name and the phones serial number. is it really that hard?

hi,
... moreDear users, I know a set u might not like. But to tell u the truth, when I first started using the set, I didnt like it either that much. But the more I am using the set, I AM SIMPLY LOVING IT. And, it is within your price range (9500BDT [1 BDT = 0.5 INR). This one is a Nokia, Nokia 3120 classic. I have found only one problem in it: the ringer goes to "Increasing Ring" in the night for some unknown reason. except that, it is a superb phone. BTW, don't expect a superb quality music in this one. If you are searching for a music phone, this is DEFINITELY NOT the phone u r looking for. This has 3G network capability, 2MP cam with flash, records video in VGA (640*480) after u update the software with Nokia software updater, Series 40 5th edition UI, TFT 16M color screen. The front cam doesn't work without 3G network (like N70 or N73), works super fine with the internet, can connect to the PC with micro USB and connect to the net (can be used as an edge modem). The retail package have a transciever (set), a battery, the back cover, handsfree (one ear [mono], NOT two ear [stereo]), data cable (depending on the region), and a 1GB micro SD card (depending on the region). I have to add that the card is expandable up to 8GB (yes, u heard me right) & is (semi) HOT SWAP (under the battery cover, but u don't have to remove the battery for removing the card). So if u r low in bugget, I suggest u go to the shops & atleast check this set out before u decide on buying a set. One other thing I need to mention, it has a VERY CHEAP look (looks like kinda Nokia 2600 [old one]). But the Graphite & Pulm White looks better than any of the other colors. So I would suggest u to go for those colors only (cause all the sets have defined color theme on the radio & the Music player. No matter what theme u install, u can't change the theme of those programs). Please visit the phone's details here in GSMARENA & decide for urself. I would be happy to answer any queries u have. Feel free to mail me for any other details for 3120 classic. Take care, have fun with ur new toys (ur phones).

Compare it with W980,W902 and W705 which all feature clear bass which gsmarena qouted that the audio quality is almost identical to to that of Apple's dedicated music player - the omnipresent iPod and you will see the difference of walkman.

People who are saying this phone has not good sound should compare this phone with any regular phone side by side. The difference is easily recognized. It shouldn't be compared with any China made mobile as they are only loud but not having any quality in sound. 5220 has really very crispy sound and stereo speakers enhances it further. Compare it with any Walkman phone and i am sure you will not be disappointed. Sound is equally good if not better.

5220 is not bad phone but it is better suited to young people, if you want to buy phone for your dad i suggest you to go for N3120c. Its a solid performer.
