While specifications for the Nokia 5200 aren’t that high-end, it does provide for a compact device for people on the go. On the music front, Nokia has included support for MP3, WMA, M4A, AAC, AAC+, and eAAC+ format files, and thrown in a microSD memory card slot for storing up to 2GB of audio. While the 5200 only provides a 2.5mm headphone port, Nokia has kindly included a 3.5mm adapter and a set of headphones in the box. Limited imaging is available through a VGA resolution camera that can also record video at QCIF resolution. Connectivity wise, the tri-band (GSM 900/1800/1900MHz) Nokia 5200 supports USB, Infrared, and Bluetooth, as well as EDGE high-speed data.
Nokia 5200 seems to have borrowed LG’s Chocolate design, like many other phones that were launched after LG’s big market success terminal. Oh yes, it’s a ”flip, flip, flipper” ladies and gentlemen. Unfortunately, it’s totally made of plastic. If you don’t mind this, you will surely love Nokia’s 5200 model. Further more, the handset has been designed like a music phone, thus it has music controls on both sides. On the left side, there’s the music button, used for opening or closing the MP3 player or the FM radio, and also the 2.5mm stereo jack for headset. On the right side of the phone we can find other two buttons that control the volume of the music, and one button which controls the camera. All buttons are greatly embedded in the frame of the device making them hardly noticeable. Like all Nokia’s handsets, the power button states its business from the top of the device. Just near the power button, there’s the charger port and the USB port. On the bottom of the phone there’s … nothing. Lastly, on the back of the handset we can find the camera for taking photos. I have to mention this because it’s important: I had big troubles opening the back lid, be very careful ’cause it’s very fragile. Oops, forgot to mention the microSD card slot, but I’m entitled to do that and you’ll see why. When I took the phone, I knew its specifications and was looking for the microSD slot all over its frame. Didn’t find it, so I opened the back lid thinking that it has a motoRAZR-like layout. Took out the battery only to find that there is no card slot there whatsoever. So, the only thing left was the manual. I opened it and … Evrika, we have the microSD slot card up on the left side (just near the headset port), but you have to open the back lid otherwise you can’t reach it. Wicked :)! If you are more of a math guy, here are its numbers: 92.4 x 48.2 x 20.7 mm and 104 grams weight (including battery).
