Nokia 5220 XpressMusic review: Funky-shape jukebox

16 October 2008
Nokia 5220 XpressMusic is set to play for it all in the mass market segment. A bunch of music niceties, slim waistline and novel design are crowned with the XpressMusic logo, and that's enough of a commitment to cool sonic experience...

              i think this is the best music phone
              with build-in 3.5mm music jack make the phone can support a lot of 3.5mm speaker without ANY ADAPTER
              rhythm light also make the phone more special
              screen also is a standard 1, at 2.0"

                I think I prefer the w880 with the slimmer 9.5mm and brushed aluminum surface.

                    hey i own dis phone n i am thoroughly satisfied dat my money has been put 2 ryt use.Its a cool phone if u love music, the loudspeakers are actually very loud n i compared it wid 5320 xpress music n dis phone beats it. Plus the lights on the sides which flicker along wid the rhythm n beats looks really nice.In my view if ur lookin 4 a low budget music phone go 4 it!!

                      Not really funky-shape, more like melted-shape...

                      Anyway good review, but definitely not my kind of design at all.

                        Hi....
                        Does it has stereo speakers ?
                        If so how is the music quality?
                        I seldom use earphonesas it is distracting and damaging to the ears....
                        please someone reply to me.....

                          Mauro, 20 Oct 2008I like the fact you compared 5310 with 5220. But I do not a... more5220 has better functionality as a telephone / music player hybrid for me simply because it has a better battery, that's the deciding factor imho. Since these two phones are similar hardware wise, the better battery on the 5220 is a huge advantage because you don't even have to switch to flight mode in the 5220 when listening to music and the battery still last 2 days with heavy use and you dont miss out on important calls and text messages.

                            I like the fact you compared 5310 with 5220. But I do not agree with your result.

                            I think you forgot to mention the minimalistic size (most important the thinness!) of the 5310 which is a big thing for me, the slightly better keypad and that . The 5310 is much more a MP3-Player or iPod Nano replacement with telephone function than 5220, which makes it a complete competitor to a normal MP3-Player. Technically is the 5220 better ok, but why buying a music handset: because of size and music functionality which is outstanding in 5310. The winner between 5220 and 5310 is 5310!!!

                                    i like this phone but i don't like its design,awfull design,but a very good music phone i guess,if you ask me the quality of its loudspeakrs its good,i had nokia 5310,nokia 5610,Sony Ericsson W580i,N 73 and Nokia 5700 express music and the most satisfying music phone(olso its soft) was Nokia 5700...
                                    so as a final conclusion this is a good music phone

                                        better in music, design, and specs...
                                        LESS PRICE...
                                        what else do you want?????????????????
