Nokia 5220 XpressMusic review: Funky-shape jukebox - read the full textNokia 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...

 

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....

> In reply to Mauro @ 2008-10-20 12:46 from m4ie5220 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!!!

3.5mm audio port, dedicated music buttons, hotswap mmc, decent music player, etc.
this phone live to its name as a music phone.
the only thing missing is the 3G networks...
:(

The design is not that impressive... It really looks way too plasticky and i think it does not have aesthetics...

I have it.

What I do not like is that the way it handles the battery status. There's no way to know if you have 20% or 5% left. And the same goes when you're charging.

On the other hand the SE W880i has that info on the menu and changes from green to yellow, and then to red, warning you that the battery is dying.

You donīt need to remove the battery to access the sd on the 5310. You have to remove the cover but only this.
