Nokia 5200

...many problems caused by my Nokia 8310 which is getting pretty old really -- so I thought why not buy a new phone to replace it. Having my Nokia 8310 on Tesco Mobile (cheapest network around!!), I thought I should buy a new phone directly from a nearby Tesco store. I'd gone to the Tesco Mobile website (www.TescoMobile.com) and looked through the extensive selection of phones available and saw this one. Did a bit of research about it and decided that ...
...MP3 Player ~ The Nokia 5200 mobile phone has a built-in MP3 Player which allows you to play both .mp3 and .aac file formats, possibly even some other file formats too. Whilst the MP3 Player itself is really simple to use, the only real problem is that the screen has a scroll feature which scrolls the current artist if it's too long to fit in the space. This scrolling is rather annoying because it's not exactly very easy to read as it scrolls pretty ...

Review of Nokia 5200

I purchased nokia 5200 six months back. Basically i wanted a phone with mp3 player, bluetooth, fm radio, infrared, extendable memory. Camera was not a priority for me. When i asked the salesguy in the shop and told him my requirements he showed me nokia 5200, nokia 3110, lg kp220 and samsung e250. I decided to take 5200,, the bonus point being that it was a slider phone. I am using now half full kingston 1 gb card no complaints like hanging so ...
...phone looks cool. Its a lot costlier than it looks. 2) The dedicated music keys make it much easier to use and access music player and radio. 3) The memory card slot position is also very easy to use. It is very comfortable. You dont need to remove the battery everytime you want to add songs or videos. It is hot swappable. 4) The sound quality is very good indeed. 5) The battery backup is absolutely unbelievable. It just keeps running and running. ...

Review of Nokia 5200

Nokia 5200 was marketed as phone for music lover. But my reason for choosing it is cost, though I like having music on my phone. My old samsung phone was creating problem so I had to replace it. My previous phone was of Nokia so I didnt want to make mistake of buying anohter phone. So I started looking at affordable available Nokia phones in market. Also I wanted to buy stylish and different phone as I was bored with typical rectangular phone of ...
...it was in my price range, sliding, with FM and inbuild music player and of red and white color. Till now it has not created any problem in its basic function of making and receiving calls. Voice quality and reception is very good. Buttons are comparatively large and easy to operate. But problems are with its extra features. Camera is very dull and namesake. It is not useful for taking pictures at all but only you can say that I have phone with ...

Review of Nokia 5200

...happily exchanged it for the Nokia 5200 which came free as I hadn't upgraded for over 2.5 years. Instead of going for another Sony Ericsson I decided a change was as good as a rest and liked the look of the 5200. It looks quite stylish in white and isn't too big. Another bonus is that it has the sliding screen which I really like. It is a big heavier than I'm used to, but only by 10 grams so its hardly noticeable. There are lots of various ringtones ...
...decided to go for a Nokia phone. The power in the microphone and earpiece are second to none and I have no problems with making and receiving calls. There are no problems with the technology and software as reported by other mobile phone reviewers and I would have it again. ...

Review of Nokia 5200

...awaited the arrival of my Nokia 5200 and was pleasently surprised at the packaging, it came in a crystal coach pulled by 12 white horses and a coachman wearing white silk and crsytal shoes with the finest silken bows. The phone was brought to me on a velvet cushion with a final bow and curtsey and as i opened the box a troup of trumpeteers came out and heralded a fanfare whilst 8 white doves emitted from the box with the ribbons of its packaging ...

Review of Nokia 5200

The Nokia 5200 looks almost the same as its big brother, the Nokia 5300 XpressMusic. Although the 5200 doesn't carry the XpressMusic branding, it's clearly designed as another music player phone,It's a slide design phone that looks much like the Nokia 6111. Nokia have improved the design of their slide phones recently and this one slides well. It's a nicely sized phone - the same size as the 5300 XpressMusic and a few grams lighter. The 5-way navigation ...

Review of Nokia 5200

I got a Nokia 5200 over a year ago, when I first recieved it I was happy with it and it did everything I needed it to do. First impressions were that it was a bit thick and it looks a bit retro, also mine was in red and I don't particularly like red. I did like it because it was a slide up and it was my first slide up phone. It's Feautres are A video and camera. Texting Phoning Recorder Radio Music player Bluetooth Internet Games Organiser ...
...everything else was useful. The video length time was for about 3.30 minutes but I barely had any photos or music, the picture was nothing specail, it was a bit blurry but it did have some special effects. The recorder was very good any you could record things up to 30 minutes. The orgainiser wasn't used much but I couldn't find any fault, neither was the internet but it wasn't very good. The bluetooth, I found, was rubbish, I tried to get some music ...

Review of Nokia 5200

The Nokia 5200 is a pretty good phone, but there are too many small problems with it that, whilst not particularly bad, are very annoying. The phone is reasonably compact and stylish, and comes with an array of handy buttons down the side for quick access to the many built in features. These features include: * built in digital camera/camcorder * Mp3 player * infra red and USB connection to a computer * Internet access and the ability to download ...
...still start playing. Apparantly to nokia silent doesn't include random bursts of music. Despite these annoying problems this is a brilliant phone that is really easy to use and comes with all of the right gadgets. If nokia would just make the few simple adjustments to the phones keypad locking then I would rate this excellant. As it is it is only good. ...

Review of Nokia 5200

...really had the experience of Nokia mobiles, and being the boring person I am, I decided to get another. The 5200 was the only bluetooth-enabled Nokia available on Pay As You Go from my local Orange Shop, and at a touch under £80, was within my budget. The phone weighs 104 grams, though it is quite a chunky shape. I definitely notice it in my pocket. And your hand does get quite uncomfortable if you're on the phone for a while. The headset works extremely ...
...player supports Mp3 files and nokia extension file types. Files can be exchanged by Bluetooth, Infrared, and a DKE-2 cable. The radio player is fm and the reception is very good. The phone came in a choice of either red or blue, of which I opted for red. The earphones it came with had both red and blue foamy bits for you to choose from, if that sort of thing bothers you. I decided to have one of each. The phone also, quite rightly, came with a charger. ...

Review of Nokia 5200

Excellent value for money. Has a clear sounding mp3 player and radio function, which is very simple to work. Connects to computers easily, no need to purchase any additional software to do this, the phone fits a regular usb cable, and then just copy and paste files onto the phone. The phone is very easy to work out. One thing to be weary about is the top key pad. I took mine to the beach, and the buttons frooze until i cleaned it, but what do you expect for such a low price?? other wise the phone works excellently! ...

Review of Nokia 5200

...I recommend this to any Nokia fan, or music fan... because you can store music on the phone. The camera could be better and there is only minimal rating. A good buy, good value for money, cheap price, could be more slim, and comes in two colours. Must say that the screen brightness is appauling, however it is better than most brands, but doesn't come close to Samsung, the sliding idea is great as it makes the phone really compact. Speaker for music ...
...a pocket but I believe Nokia could make it smaller. There are a few games on the phone, and downloadable ones, the browser is so easy to navigate, and the phone is fast. The phone has never died out on me, the battery life is great, and the charge span doesn't take too long, but I don't recommend this as a picture phone, just a music phone as the picture quality isn't too good. Most people have seen my phone as I was the first to get it and they ...

Review of Nokia 5200

...I have had a few nokia phones and feel that they last a long time and you get value for money . It also helps that they seem to have improved the software, so the menu looks nice and they have changed the look of writing text messages. It also saves the people that you text the most in a little menu which makes things easier. I am definetly pleased with this phone and enjoy using it. It is similar to the nokia 6111, however, the quality is a lot ...

Review of Nokia 5200

Let me just start of by saying that I LOVE THIS PHONE, my freinds recommended this phone to me right after my other one was broken on a fairground ride, The Mp3 player is brilliant as you are able to have a loudspeaker so you and all of your freinds can listen to your ''beats'' or you can have the earphones, with the ones provided have a radio attachement so you can listen to you tunes or the radio!. The memory card slot fits a micro SD card which ...
...slight drawback as it is only 1.0. megapixels so if your planning on capturing precious moments with this phone, maybe this one isn't the best for you. I would highly recomend getting a bluetooth dongle to change data from your pc The majority of my expierences with this phone have been perfect, However if you wear jeans or tight pants alot this might not be the phone for you as when it is slid upwards a tiny bit it take the lock off and therefore ...
