In a nutshell: An entry-level music phone that does the
business for well under £100. The 5220 has an excellent music
player, a stereo FM radio and a 2 megapixel camera. Connectivity
is excellent, with Bluetooth, USB and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. Memory
is limited, at 30MB, but is expandable to 2GB with a microSD memory
card.
Review:
October 2008. Updated April 2009.
The 5220 is the entry-level phone
in Nokia's XpressMusic range of music phones.
Nokia say that the 5220 has a stylishly asymmetrical design that's
easy to hold. We think it looks a bit funny, but it's no big deal.
The point is that it's a cheap phone that makes
calls, sends texts, takes snapshots with a basic camera, plays music
and has an FM radio too. The music player is excellent, with support
for playlists and most popular digital music formats, including
MP3, MP4, AAC and WMA. The sound output from the speaker may be
a bit tinny, but the 5220 has a key advantage, which is that you
can plug in any standard headphones to its 3.5mm headphone jack,
and then you'll get top audio quality, courtesy of a dedicated audio
chip. You can also use a wireless
Bluetooth headset if you prefer.
The 5220 doesn't have a lot of memory for storing
music - just 30 Mbytes - which is enough for around 8 songs. But
you can add a microSD
memory card up to 2GB, which will give you enough storage for
around 500 songs.
It's a very lightweight and superslim phone too,
and we like it! Some users are reporting problems with the phone
though - recurring themes are speaker and software problems - read
the user reviews below for more information.

then it "couldn't find operator" so I sent it back. This one has

now stopped working. It's been a pain in the arris, and my network

deletes items, strangely altered the format of all games and tracks
downloaded directly to it so they could no longer play - lost around

For music lovers, it is one of the best phones. Sound quality is

within seconds. And with GPRS enabled, it really is a treat. You
can surf, and even download games. The camera though 2.0 MP is good
enough for shots - I have taken soem very cool snaps with this camera.
The main point is the form factor - sleek and beautifual and loaded
with features. (I liked this phone better than the Nseries which
are bulky and sound not that clear). Go for the Nokia Xpress 5220.

Just got the phone today. So far it seems excellent. Its got one
of the best speakers I've heard on any mobile. Taking the back off,
which on older nokias was never very simple, is now easy, just press
the 'eject' button, it pops off and you just pull it off, and the
back is flexible so it doesn't feel like your going to break it.
The fact that it only supports up to 2GiB SD Cards isn't too bad,
I already have a camera and an MP3 player, so the phone won't be
used for those sort of things really. The Maps feature sounds good,
but as the European map is 1.6GB I haven't been able to put it on
yet as only a 512MB card was included. Buttons are nice. Usual Nokia
interface, which IMO is the easiest. Camera looks very nice, even
in dull conditions. Hoepfully it shall continue to be good. Rating:

A well made phone, not too slim and fits well in the hand. Buttons
are well spaced and music buttons are well placed (flush to the
case). The speaker is LOUD, good for answering calls while driving
by switching on the loudspeaker option. Funky light effects (could
be turned off). Accessible USB and micro SD without opening the
entire back cover. 3.5mm headphone jack :) Camera is a little below
average, doesn't take great photos but good enough for reference
photos. Forget the "Create Playlist" option in Music, useless. Instead
organize a playlist by using folders with your computer. Then just
open the folder you wish to play located in "Gallery > Memory card
(or Micro SD)", use options to "Mark all", then use options again
to "Open". Then everything in that chosen folder becomes a playlist.
Note: a folder within the folder chosen will not be included in
the playlist so it's best to group your music per folder and have
no subfolders ;) At last a descent battery from Nokia "music" phone,
1050 mAh! meaning 2+ days worth of music on a charge. I think this
phone, for what it does, is well worth the price you pay compared
to what's out there in the market today. After years of Ericsson
phones i finally found a well made Nokia, Good job Nokia (at last). Rating:

I bought this phone, my second Xpress Music Nokia, not expecting
too much. The main draw was the headphone jack - this should be
standard on all phones! it's great and means you can use whatever
headphones you chose, rather than manufacturer supplied ones. So
I got it home and was instantly surprised by just how funky it looks,
especially the back cover. Very retro and interesting. Switch it
on and you are greeted by some interesting lights along the side...
it's that sort of thing that appeals to me! The screen is good,
all text is clear and its fine for looking at photos and such. Viewing
the internet isn't as bad as I'd expected so all told - there are
certainly no dissappointments considering the phones price bracket.
My problem arrived when I switched on the (otherwise brilliant)
music player. I have a 1gb memory card with 19 songs on it - and
yet the player was slow and unresponsive. It selected tracks that
I thought I'd click past 3 or 4 songs ago. Minor, but became annoying.
Worst of all was the phones constant want of turning of REGULARLY
while listening to music. It got so bad that after a week I returned
the phone. I bought the 5220 expecting little and was pleasantly
surprised in most areas (great games included!) but considering
I paid £99 for it - it really isn't worth that and the hardware
isn't up to scratch. By day three I was desperate for it to work
and to be happy with it and continue so for a year... but nope.
The thought of using that phone daily, as my main mobile - nope.
Perhaps I had a dodgy one, I dunno. Rating:

I had done an internet study to buy a mobile to get good music quality,decent
camera, good memory and ofcorse good looks. My searched narrowed
to nokia 5220 and 5310. At last i settled for Nokia 5220 music express
for the following reasons - it has better sound quality, battery
cost is half of the latter at the same time, standby time is good.
The points infavour of 5310 are support for 4 GB micro SD card vs
2 GB card for 5220 and a more slim design, but as for me I liked
the red model 5220 with it's quadrilateral design more eye catching
and 2 GB was more than required for me. Rating:

blud don't listen to these minor boys who moan about the phone.
The phone is sick! The 3.5mm jack means you can plug in any headphones
or speaker system. yeh! good if you're into tunes. Most of the bumbaklarts
who are winging about poor camera, poor video etc. they are a bunch
of wastemen. This is a BIG BOY fone. Rating:

I couldnt ask for more. Mine came with 512MB memory card as well
as speakers that uses its own batteries, thats just enough for all
my music.so far so good, but i think I like the phone so much. You
cant buy a phone for under £100 and expect to use it as an lcd television
etc. so if you want digital camera etc go get one. Rating:

It's an all round legendary phone. The camera is fantastic; the
MP3 player is awesome; and the radio reception is so clear. The
headphones could be better, but apart from that it's the nearest
thing to THE PERFECT MOBILE PHONE! If I was to design a phone -
it would look and feel just like the 5220. I'll be keeping this
phone for years as it is a classic design :-) Rating:

Battery power is not enough to support the visuals, games, music
player and the Blue tooth. Good thing is supported stereo Blue tooth
head phones but battery is not lasting for long. Rating:
