Menu, basic functions, software
Since I’ve already mentioned on the previous page, probably no one will be surprised by the fact that 5220 is based on the Series 40 platform. The current tendency shows that this system is used only on low-end or probably mid-range handsets, which is somewhat unfortunate, as probably not everyone wants to use Series 60, even in spite of the functionality and the speed. It is highly possible that many will consider switching to it, after seeing this phone, as 5220 is rather slow. Even entering submenus takes a considerable time and we can observe some lagging even when using the d-pad. This is strange since usually phones with this system are quite fast.
We won’t be discussing much about the functions of the system, since we have described these in detail in a separate article and everything is true for this phone too. Still, the extra applications are worth a note. To begin with we have a wallpaper editor, which is some rather interesting stuff: we first have to choose our preferred colors and then the software generates and abstract image that starts waving. Then we just have to press the appropriate button in the right moment and we can already set the image as a wallpaper – I just can’t imagine anyone wanting to use the program for more than half a minute, but it must be good to have. There are no other new apps, as all other ones are already familiar from previous models: Flickr, My Nokia, Opera Mini, Sensor, World clock, WidSets, Yahoo! Go. There are four games installed on the phone: City Bloxx, Guitar Rock Tour (well, if it’s a musical phone...), Rally 3D, Snake III. There is 9.2 MB of internal memory free and about 490 Mb on the memory card, as it has only four music files on it by default.
No disappointments during phone calls, sound quality was great and there were no signal problems either. We can store 2000 entries in the phonebook and there is a proper amount of extra fields for contacts. There is an e-mail client that supports authenticated IMAP servers too. The GSM module is a tri-band one (900/1800/1900 MHz) and we can use GPRS or EDGE for data transfer; there is of course no WiFi. Bluetooth is of version 2.0 and supports the stereo profile (A2DP) .
