I like it but I even don't understand when I text to anyone why it always write in English why not in numbers? Like if I want to send SMS to anyone which is not in my contact list by default it should be in number mode but it always continue with abc, otherwise it's a good ph but there is also no function about brightness setting. Help me, if anybody knows how to solve my problems.

Phone design is good, but the problem is that the software is bad, it hangs. I serviced the phone about 10 times within 8 months.

I purchased this phone on the 4th March 2010. 5220 is nice phone but I am not satisfied with it. Battery is not good, every night charge the phone. Phone design is good.

I thought this was a great phone at first. However, the radio keeps failing. The techie guy said that loads of these have been returned due to faulty radio, & he sent me a new headset. The radio was fine for about a week, then it disappeared again, & all I get is crackle. The assistant I just spoke to said that none of these phones have had faulty radios, completely contradicting the techie guy.

The music player works fine, just not the radio. It's useless.

A very nice mobile phone. The only problem I have now is I don't know how to download PC suite. Please help me with simple steps easy to understand.

Great phone I love it. Good camera. Good music player. Only problem is that the phone broke because I can't turn it on even when its on charge I think it might of sorted out, not sure.

I am writing this review on my 5220 with the aid of Opera mini & predictive text, so I suppose this verifies the great text capabilities of this phone. Overall I think it's very good.

(btw press star & l shaped arrow if you want a new paragraph) the points on the downside are the music control keys are too close together & the mickey mouse video recording. Otherwise, it's a stylish phone that takes standard earphones & micro SDs.

Nice phone, bags of features if you can find them.

Poor manual, does not cover many features adequately.

Fairly intuitive in use.

With the foregoing in mind, is recommended.

Wrong SMS time! Always earlier 7 hours. Does anyone know how to fix it?

Reviewer: Joe - UK
Date: 5th Aug 2009

I think this phone is really good. Never had any hanging problems like some of the others have suggested.

I personally think that for the money you pay that it's a good handset. Music available, lightweight, looks good, does the basics. I am happy with it!

I didn't like this phone. If you use music player for more than one hour, it simply hangs. You can't even able to turn it off. Even power charging also not working. First time I started using high end phone. It's really pathetic.

The basic usage of this phone is for music, that function is not working properly means, I don't know how can you call this one as Xpress music.

Hey Derek, I have the same problem regarding SMS timing! Also, does anyone know how to set the phone so the screen stays on longer than a few seconds. Very annoying.

---

Reviewer: Arggg - Australia
Date: 18th May 2009

DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE! Seriously it's all good at first with the great design, slimness, good camera & good music quality but this phone hangs frequently! While you're playing games, on the Internet, in the music player, viewing pictures, anything, the screen will turn white & hang for about a minute & the whole phone will restart again.

IT'S SO ANNOYING! Especially if you're in a rush to make a call or send a message, you can be sure that it'll hang & restart when your in an emergency.

Now I can't even use it. When I turn it on it does the Nokia welcome thing & then shuts back off.

It's a waste of money. Go for the Walkman or something if you want good sound quality or cyber shot for a good camera. XpressMusic is bad.

Great phone, only one problem. Every time I get an SMS message the time received is one hour earlier than actual. I have checked manual & website & no information of how to fix it. Any comments welcome!

Hey I have this phone for like 4 months. It hung quite a few times. So the best way is to keep the phones memory empty. So after this formula my phone is working superb.

Amazing camera. It's so stylish. & it just suits my personality. Sleek!

Overall out of 10 I'll give 8 to it.

I bought it on New Year's Day. Have been using till date. It is best among the stylish mobile in design aspect. I like all the features except the video capturing which was not good.

I use this mobile mostly for hearing music & sound blast your ears when the surrounding is silent.

Sometimes it hangs & the screen becomes white which Nokia company has to rectify, which is the only disappointment in this model.

It is a good phone. There are many complaints that the Nokia 5220 hangs. To avoid this problem keep your phone memory empty. Your problem will go away & you will love to operate this phone.

It is a faulty phone bought it 5 times & each time there was something wrong with them either the camera or the way the music is played. It costs loads to just unlock it & nobody gives you anything for them, as they are faulty phones.

I have had this phone not so long now & in the first couple of weeks it was going great, but then the battery started going fast & now I am constantly keep charging it & sometimes have to go out with no phone because it's pointless if there is no battery.

Apart from that this is a good phone but the video capturing is very poor.

Hi, I had gone to buy Nokia 5320 & the shop keeper stopped me & insisted me to buy Nokia 5220 I was a little embarrassed & then he suggested me as he was using Nokia 5320 & he told me that this 5220 is a better Phone than 5320 & I was convinced & I brought. I feel that the headset whatever Nokia has given is not too good. Hmm otherwise the Phone is Simply Stylish & user friendly.

This phone has a brilliant audio quality but the quality of video capturing is not good.

Reviewer: Robert Grant - Glasgow, UK
Date: 30th Nov 2008

I have had 3 of these from Virgin & I am getting a refund now. The screen is poor, tilt the phone ever so slightly to the left & the screen becomes impossible to see. The camera mode has lots of red, green & blue dots in the picture which disappear once you take a picture, still annoying though. & on my latest one my pictures have a yellow tint which is unacceptable. I don't know if its Nokia's or Virgins fault but I would stay clear.

I have had the phone for a week & it's brilliant. You can go & download loads of music & it's so simple! That I am going to recommend it to everyone! By the way I will send a picture of mine if anyone wants one! Love You Guy's Lots.

Phone looks cute & slim. But the software is hanging at times while listening to music & while operating phone at high speed (switching between applications).

My experience with this phone is OKAY. But better comparing with the other phones in it's range (Xpress Music series).

It's such a great design & functionality, but one thing annoying, its screen lit up every time you charge thus making the charging time more longer : (.
