Nokia 5220 XpressMusic

Battery
The 5220’s battery is decent. It’ll easily run for over a day and a half with regular use and provide you with at least 3 hours and 10 minutes of non stop talk time. Though it's supposed to offer users at least 5 hours of talk time there aren't too many handsets that can live up to what the company claims.

The Bottom Line
With a price tag of Rs. 7, 700 the 5220 XpressMusic offers great music quality, a decent camera and a fairly decent battery life all packed into a stylish and unique form factor. On the downside, the interface is a bit sluggish at times especially if the memory card has a lot of data and multitasking with background audio also adds to this factor. The FM radio is an issue, but other than that, looking at the bigger picture, the handset has enough to offer users who aren’t looking for more than just a good music enabled handset. It’s worth the consideration if all you want is music. It's available in three colors - Green, Blue and Red.
