The Orange and the Vodaphone mobiles got married in church last week. The service was boring, but the reception was brilliant! This latest edition of Nokia's affordable touchscreen handset incorporates loads of features from the ITVÆs hit music show. YouÆll find a variety of X-Factor wallpapers, along with ring tones from X-Factor contestants themselves, plus exclusive X-Factor footage.
A 3.2 inch touchscreen (resistive) sets the Nokia 5228 near the top of the non-3G end of the market. The user experience is enhanced with handwriting recognition, accelerometer for use in landscape or portrait views and the Symbian OS v9.4.
A respectable connectivity package includes GPRS/EDGE HTML/xHTML WAP browsing with the added bonus of RSS news feeds, wireless Bluetooth and quad-band roaming for comprehensive coverage when overseas. Messaging is also well catered for with SMS for quick messages, email for keeping in touch with friends on the net and instant messaging for ongoing chat conversations.
Entertainment on the go comes in the form of a MP3/MP4 player and a stereo FM radio, both of which can offer up to 32 hours of music before the battery needs a recharge. There is also a 2 megapixel camera and video recorder that captures nHD (640x360) images at 30fps. The photo editor allows final touches to be added and a storage space of 70MB can be expanded up to 16GB with a microSD card. The Nokia 5228 brings a high-end look to the non-3G end of the market and makes a great buy for anyone on a budget.

Me too! There are so many combinations. Mobile companies use confusion marketing, it is deliberate. I try to get rid of the rubbish and only show the best few deals for you - Ling
No, "free gifts" are never free! You only get what you pay for. By far, you are better off getting the best deal on the phone and tariff you want and ignoring "free" gift offers! Often substitute gifts are sent. That's useless. - Ling
I spend my whole day running LINGsCARS so I am damn busy! - Ling
I use special software to search and check over 64,000 mobile deals and offers. Usually more. I discard most, and only show the best. I have no loyalty to any product, I am impartial - Ling
I measure the true monthly cost of your phone. I add everything you will pay and divide it by the number of months to make it easy for you - Ling
