Couple of months back I had bought a cell phone for my wife. She had drpped her IPod in the washing machine and so the primary reason was to find a cell phone that would also work as a good music player. After considerable research I thought Nokia 5320 would be the best fit. After using the phone for a few months now I think its time to review it.
For persons who are looking for a similar requirement here is what I experienced. It’s a slim bar model phone. Nokia 5320 has 16M colours and has a display resolution of 24 CM x 32 CM. It has an Inbuild memory of 140 MB and good thing is that It has an expandable memory of 8 GB.
It has Bluetooth,USB connector and GPRS but if it had WiFi I would have connected to my wireless modem and downloaded songs /browsed internet without having to connect using my USB or GPRS. It has a good voice recorder but its 2.0 mega pixcel camera is not impressive. However for a music phone I should not be expecting the camera to be anything better. Another impressive feature that attracted me was it was 3G enabled , even though in India I would not be using it now but sure to use it in near future.
Just wanted readers to know that the phone lacks vibration alert but that good for the life of the phone. It has a set of music keys that are accessible in the front. You can control your music even without getting into your phone control. The sound clarity is good. However the headphone was not impressive. It would have been better if they have provided a better headphone. The FM radio feature was also good even when compared to standalone MP3 player from Sony. I think (not sure) the FM antenna of Nokia is doing the trick. Another important feature to note is the standard headphone instead of the custom headphone like the other vendors. I tried even connecting to my PC speakers and it was giving quality sound.
Over all this is a good music phone. Except the camera and headset everything else rocks.
