This phone is great, don't listen to the negative points I've had this phone for 2 years & it works great the camera is OKAY its fine the music is absolutely FANTASTIC!
I would recommend this phone for you but I am changing it now & I don't know any good phones so I need some help!
Oh & the battery is long lasting for like a long time. Please some on tell me a good camera phone!
Reviewer: Anon - UK
Date: 4th May 2008
The phone is rubbish because I can't switch it off without taking the battery out, parts of the music player don't work & now it has totally broken you can't see the screen & I have had it for about 6 months, I wouldn't buy it. By the way I haven't dropped it etc.

Reviewer: Muhammed - Ireland

This is a great phone especially for the money you pay for & it's awesome with the 2GB memory card. All features are very good except the camera a VGA which is expected at the price you pay for the phone.
Reviewer: Haydenn - UK
Date: 2nd May 2008
I've had this phone at Christmas & it has worked fine up until now. Everything works but the keyboard (the keys on the phone itself) stopped working, I can only use the Shutdown key on top of the phone. No navigational keys, no numbers, no green or red keys. Nothing it's just a white screen, I can't see anything?
What can I do to solve this problem please get back to me ASAP! URGENT!
Reviewer: Mihir Nadkarni - Sanguem Goa, India
Date: 28th Apr 2008
Cool man, I had this phone for about a year. Its handy, slide is very smooth, sound is really good I guess better than N91. It does make any problems in installing applications. Main feature is its attractive looks, for a snap I never used this phone digital camera is always better! Now I have 5300 but I didn't like it it's too heavy but if you want good music phone just close your eyes & say, Nokia 5200. The best phone ever.
Reviewer: James - Hertfordshire, UK
Date: 23rd Apr 2008
I had the phone about a year, then the camera started to go, the back was hard to get off since I got the phone. I must say overall, the phone was well wearing other than the camera problems the phone last longer & was well worth buying considering the amount of time it was dropped or nearly snapped. I would recommend this product for a teenager more than an adult, because it has the features of MP3 which would more appeal to teens because, they want something cheap & stylish.
Reviewer: Georgii Blake - Dorset, UK
Date: 14th Apr 2008
This Phone Was Okay For the First year. I Then had to send it back because my Bluetooth stopped working. Orange then gave it back to me & it was fine. Once again my Bluetooth stopped working from receiving things although it would send things to my friends?
The speakers are good. Camera is awful & the themes are cheap & bland. The screen isn't working & it sometimes freezes, well used to (I brought a new phone).
It's built like a brick & I think that it is very ugly & heavy. When you but the phone you don't get the USB cord nor the memory card.
After a while my camera stopped working & I couldn't retrieve any calls. & if I wanted someone to look at my phone I would have to pay £25, My friend did this she paid £30 to get her phone back & they didn't even do anything about it.
DO NOT BY THIS PHONE ITS A LOAD OF RUBBISH. Georgii.X

Date: 2nd Apr 2008
Hey, if your going to buy this phone then I say that you should because it is really good it's not flimsy mine hasn't broke yet & I've had it for a year so far.
Good memory it can hold lots of messages, songs & pictures. If you're looking for a good phone then this is the one for you. But the only thing is if you want to put it in your pocket then it's too fat, but there's nothing wrong with that.

Reviewer: S n prasad - Bangalore, India
Date: 7th Mar 2008
Well it's an amazing phone. Especially for the amount we pay, really worth it. If you are looking for a phone in the range of 5000 my suggestion is you can definitely buy this with your eyes closed.
It has a great MP3 player & you can watch anything, absolutely anything.

This phone is very, very powerful but yet simple design the bad feature about this phone is that it doesn't come with any memory card & 5MB internal. But if you buy this phone you may get a free 256MB card with just for that network!

Reviewer: Alex Gilmore - London, UK
Date: 9th Feb 2008
I have had this phone for about 2 months now, & when I was looking for a new phone I was wary about the mixture of reviews people were saying about the phone.
Good.
- Nice MP3 feature.
- Nice colour design.
Bad.
- Screen cracks easily.
- No internal memory, 5MB.
- Slow.
- Bad camera.
- No USB feature provided.
- No memory stick provided.
Reviewer: Paljo - Padina, Yugoslavia
Date: 5th Feb 2008
I've had one for over a year.
- Excellent keys, easy to type messages.
- Very good music player.
- USB connection very good.
- Problems with MicroSD larger than 512Megs (slows down phone).
- Software jam when phone memory is full.
- Poor headphones
All in all if you want a good music phone, Buy it!
Reviewer: Manoj - India
Date: 5th Feb 2008
Although this phone provides a lot for its price but I can't be modest to over its shortcomings.
- It doesn't provide path of the songs while playing in music player.
- From there we cannot carry out operations like, renaming, deletion etc.
- Speaker problem is very common it need repairing after 6 months.
- It also leaves black marks on keypad on 5, 3 numbers pad.
If these problems are removed it would be best among its range.
Reviewer: Tony - UK
Date: 30th Jan 2008
Hey, Tone here just to say that this phone is well jamming down the music road! The MP3 playa is proper boss lad! The camera is well poor I don't say you buy it because there's that. Well good new phone on the high street but it costs a packet! But if you looking for an easy phone, I big it up because it is blinging.
Reviewer: Kelly - Perth, Australia

This phone is the best if you need a new one I would say this phone is for you.
Reviewer: Hj - Surrey, UK
Date: 15th Jan 2008
This is such a great little phone for the money. The styling is pretty cool, the slider is wicked & when it's down it is really neat. It was really cool to handle. I have been so pleased with it. The memory card stores loads of mp3s & pictures & stuff. It's all very easy to set up & use I had no problems transferring files from phone to PC or vice versa, the music player is absolutely great, great sound, easy to store & manage music files. I got to grips with it within a day or so & have had the phone for almost a year. I text a lot & the keypad is great for texting as it is nice & boxy which makes it solid to hold & the keys are spaced well for easy texting! The camera & video are pretty poor quality, but I have got some really great shots off the camera in good daylight, I guess for the money you can't expect top of the range camera etc. I downloaded some great games from the Nokia site to boost the games on here. They were dead cheap & fun & it was really easy to buy them & get them sent to the phone. Actually there are features on there I never used for email & other bits & bobs. If you are used to top of the range do everything phones with high res cameras etc. Then this probably isn't the phone for you, but if you want a reasonably priced phone with a good MP3 player, then I would definitely recommend this phone. I got mine on virgin mobile & it came with loads of free airtime & was a really good price to start with. When the screen started to play up when it was 11 months old they replaced it free of charge as you get a 12 month guarantee from the manufacturers on all their phones. I wasn't surprised that the screen wore out as I used that phone a lot to listen to music, play games etc!

Great phone! Really easy to use (had it all set up & ready to go in 10 minutes with all my music), & has some really good features. I just don't like the camera very much especially the low resolution of the video camera. Despite that it's a really good phone.
Reviewer: Lottey - UK
Date: 27th Dec 2007
I am thinking of getting one but does it come in black because I saw some pictures of it in black but I can't find it on the virgin mobile website because it only costs £49.99 & 800 free texts, no I am not a salesman but I really want a black although I like the red & blue that means I would have to colour coordinate myself with my phone which would just be sad.
Also, is it hardy as in it won't break if you drop it as my old phone broke? Please reply.

Good easy phone to use. Camera is decent, if you want a better one buy a digital camera. It's a phone. Battery usually lasts me 2 to 3 days & that's calling for 3 to 4 hours a day. Great that you get a free memory card, 1 GB. Got it on contract at £10 a month with 100 minutes & 100 texts. Really good deal & it's Easier to use than the Samsung E250. You can download free games, themes & software to it. Nice little phone.
Reviewer: Emma Hodgkiss - Walsall, UK

The Nokia 5200 is a cracking phone. With better sound quality then the Nokia 6120 classic which my other half has. The Nokia 5200 has not got a very good camera it's very poor but after all it is a music phone. If you want it for a camera use, get a phone with a 1.3 megapixel or even one with a 5 megapixel camera. But forget the camera, it's a cracking phone.
Reviewer: Kelvin - UK

Amazing phone well worth getting! Very good value! GET IT NOW!
Reviewer: Del - Marldon, UK
Date: 28th Oct 2007
Not sure why people have knocked this phone as it is the best model I have had!
infra-red & Bluetooth are excellent, both PC compatible or the supplied USB connector can be used along with the down-loadable Nokia Software Update programme etc, free from their website. Battery lasts me for approximately 1 week between charges, & that is averaging 30 minutes of calls & 200 texts per charge.
Camera is fine, though I must admit that is not an item high on my list of priorities! Design is slick, mine is the red-colour version & it easily fits in a jacket or trouser pocket.
All in all, highly recommended to anyone thinking of buying a modern 'cool' mobile.

Hi. I am a big fan of reviews for things I want so I thought I would check it out. I am going to be honest. I think it is an amazing phone. Like a job, for you to enjoy it you need to want the requirements. It is a more boyish phone. You like music. Things you might consider not getting before buying is the camera.
It is a very stylish looking phone with many amazing features. I do recommend buying it. For those in UK if you look in the Argos Christmas saving booklet.
Get it if you are always on the move.

Reviewer: Joanne - UK

I have this phone at the moment, it's OK. Not as good as I thought it would be though.
- the memory is poor, it holds 1 song at the maximum.
- the quality of the camera & video are all blurred & its poor quality for a Nokia.
- It is quite bulky.
I love the slider on this phone though, it doesn't feel cheap & it has a good springy action. Overall it's not bad, if it had more memory & a better camera it would be a great phone.

The Nokia 5300 is a music phone & I thought this would be because it looks like a sporty music phone. I would not recommend this to anyone who likes music & taking pictures. I am very disappointed & I will be getting a new phone.

Hey friends, I read all the reviews here, I bought this Nokia 5200 six months back & I'm very happy as this phone is the best as it is similar to Nokia 5300 except camera & display.
We can put memory card as well as we can connect through USB. The only problem I got with this cell is speaker problem as sound keeps on reducing, if speaker is proper then this phone is best for its price.

Reviewer: Shaam - Bangalore, India
Date: 7th Sep 2007
By reading all the reviews I took a 5200 for RS 5700. It ranks a best audio output & speed Internet connectivity. The Bluetooth facility is also rocking.
Camera shows a medium clarity if you adjusted its settings. If you are a music addict go straight & buy a memory card & a connector which is not included with this (I've 1GB card). Also you have to download Nokia PC suite.
The one thing which made me depressed is it poor battery life. Anyway this is a nice phone which is ment for music.

Looking good in features & has memory card facility, BUT the MAIN IRRITATING problem IS the BATTERY LIFE WHICH IS MAKING ME MORE CONCERN, WHY I HAVE BOUGHT THIS PHONE, I AM REPENTING NOW IT WOULD have been BETTER GOING FOR A SAMSUNG E-250, WHICH IS BETTER IN ALL & HAS MUCH better CLARITY IN CAMERA EVEN IT IS HAVING VGA, WHICH IS OF SAME PRICE.
I MADE A MISTAKE AGAIN BY GOING FOR Nokia BRAND NAME. PHONE WITHOUT BATTERY LIFE IS OF NO USE IF you HAVE 2GB MEMORY SLOT OR MP3. What WILL you DO WHEN THERE IS NO LIFE IN BATTERY, JUST GETTING DISCHARGED IN 2 HRS, IF you LISTEN or CALL SOMEBODY FOR 1 HOUR.
EVEN MY OLD 1108 IS STILL WORKING FOR 2-3 DAYS, SO GUYS THINK BEFORE BUYING IT. WHO have ALREADY PURCHASED WILL REPENT LIKE ME. BYE.
Reviewer: Sam - Nottingham, UK

I would severely encourage anybody looking for a phone to look elsewhere because this phone is awful! I have had it 3 months & the battery life is at a maximum, one day, the back of the phone is really difficult to get off & the screen picture quality is awful! I have changed to the Sony Ericsson k800i & I have had no such problems with the battery life & the screen picture quality is just awesome! The camera is way better on the Sony Ericsson as well.
DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE! The Sony Ericsson has a lot of music space as well! You can also get a 1 gigabyte memory card to put into it so that you can have like 500 songs on it or more!

Hi GUYS! I read all the reviews here. I noticed that many guys says that it is bad, its has no good display, no good camera, etc. But in my view, if your budget lies within 6000Rs,
GO FWD! Buy this.
No companies can offer much great features (high quality music with expendable memory) like this.
In my view buying 5200 is better than 5300 because most of the features in both are same except camera & display.
Good LUK! BUY CONFIDENTLY!

From day one I've had real issues with the battery life. Lasts only a day even when not been used. Most annoying thing is I bought another battery & it still lasts just a day when fully charged. I have used all types of phones yet this has been the worst battery life ever. Great features though.

Mobile 5200 is a mobile which has many functions & it is a cheap one. It is very useful for listening or transferring music. Buy the 5200 if you are searching a mobile & you are a music fan.

I got this phone like 2 weeks ago & I'm more than happy. I'm so satisfied with the investment, I can't even explain. The sound system is just too cool. Extendable memory. Plays almost all videos. Looks good. & stylish in the beginning I that the battery backup is bad. But that was because for the first time it has to be charged full. Once I did that now the battery runs for even 3 days. Even when m continuously listening to the music. So guys. Buy this phone. Although I think there should be more colors. Just three colours aren't just enough.

I think this is best value in the price range, if you don't need camera. This phone is easy to use, has rich features, has good MP3 player & can use 2GB of memory. Sony Ericsson Walkman is very good MP3 player but I don't like with price of memory stick. Good for connection to computer which is very easy, I can use USB & Nokia PC suite.

Do not buy this phone! Good design BUT I have it for one week & I am having problems already. Image disappears when it's opened. BAD, BAD, BAD!

DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE! This is possibly one of the worst phones I have ever had, terribly made not worth the £60 to £100 you have got to pay for it. Nokia have tried to get in the new market for these flip, slide & twist phones but have made a poor attempt. I have sent this phone back twice because the microphone & ear piece that are built into the phone keep breaking & the phone is not sturdy. I have now swapped it for a Sony Ericsson Z610i, you should buy this. They use far too cheap materials to do this where as Samsung & Sony Ericsson are great. If you are interested in buying a Nokia phone make sure its one of their traditional whole candy bar phones as they are the only phones they are good at, stick to this advice & you'll be fine.
REMEMBER don't BUY THIS AWFUL PHONE.

It's a very bad phone & there is much software which is not supported by this phone. I am using this phone with very badly condition. If any one wants to purchase it, think again. PLEASE DON'T BUY Nokia 5200, sorry to write this but it is fact.

Hey I think this is the best phone in it's price range from Nokia production which adds a lot of features to it's worth. What I want to know is that can Nokia 5200 supports.sis files or any other format in which I can install some software to enjoy more. I say that the mobile is awesome & everyone just go & get it.
