Nokia 6220 classic review: Sharp-witted shooter
We can call the Nokia 6220 classic an attempt to regain some 5 megapixel ground. The compact smartphone carries some serious imaging power. Xenon flash, active lens cover, VGA video @ 30 fps and TV-out do sound exciting, don't they? It would've been all too easy...

WIFI?? No need!!!!! If you know how to hack IP adress or configure your internet setting. 3G & HSDPA is enough. It is much faster than WIFI. and also WIFI is not accessible to everywhere so why buy some expensive N Series to have it. Just a waste of money..Ask some IT or Computer Geek out there and they will set up your phone Internet with video streming like youtube. For Nokia 6220 is a killer to all NSeries phone.
About the Keypad and Housing?
Damn it. Personality is more than imporant than looks. LOL :)

This phone's good points have outweighed the bad for me. I love the picture quality, video capture quality is more than acceptable, runs the latest Symbian OS (no more java phones for me!), works well as an mp3/mp4 player, hotswap MicroSD 8GB card, and a phone as well as GPS all packed in a respectably sized case :D.
The downsides are:
Poor battery life - especially after a few flash photos.
Keypad size issues... have to concentrate just to get the unlock keys right.
Bad camera lens switch, flash issues.
Creaky casing. You've got to be careful when videoing - zooming in and out while filming, if your thumbs touch the side casing it creaks, and the microphone picks it up too well.
I wish they would have made the casing fit -- how hard can it be?

A great phone. Just two bugs: A rickety keypad and impossible rear cover re-insertion after SIM/battery change. It has just about everything that a non-QWERTY smart phone is expected to have at an affordable price. My word, just buy it without any reservation.

I have had this phone for some mounths now and I have to say it's a great headseat! The only thing I would say is missing is WiFi but that's not such a big isue. I have had a lot of mobile phones before (including the N95), so I know my way aorund and this is bay far the best one I've ever owned. Anyone who is considering in buying the Nokia 6220c, I say go for it!Great camera, great os, great UI, solid keys, great desing (but that just me)...
P.S. - It takes up to 8 Gb of memory

By the way, I'm looking at the 6220C's keypad and I don't see the 4-way directional arrow shortcut key and pencil editing key, just the Symbian menu shortcut key and the C clear key. The review does not point this out and doen't say how it impacts the usability of this phone, since all the other Symbian OS phones have this 4 shortcut keys as part of the standard keypad layout.
What is the feedback from actual owners of this model? Do use miss the 4-way arrow key and the pencil key? Thanks in advance. I'm seriously considering getting this model instead of a similar-spec'ed N-Series.

Again, I reiterate the same question I posed in the comments section of the N79 & N6220 reviews: What is the point of getting an N-Series if all the features are now also available in the supposedly lower-end non-N-series lineup??? Somebody said "better build quality" & "Wi-Fi/WLAN support", but the former reason is not important since all phones would eventually become obsolete in a few years, and most of the N-series & E-series also have plastic shells (just w/ metallic-colored paint) and/or cheap, unergonomic keypads. The "Wi-Fi" argument is also now invalid with the early '09 release of this new N6260 slider, which just proves that it's the N6xxx line that is consistently the most bang-for-the-buck lineup in the whole Nokia catalog. And this phone doesn't even run on the newest Symbian v9.3 OS and the latest Series60 v.3, Feature Pack 2 UI.
In short, the N-Series should be revamped with new, killer features unavailable in the lower lines and/or lower its pricing!

Is there still a point in getting an N-Series now? It used to be there were exclusive features in the N-Series that weren't available in the regular Nokia line, but today, almost all the latest features, the OS, and the UI can be found in non-N-series phones. Case in point: the N6220. A-GPS, Symbian v9.3 OS, Series60 v3 Feature Pack 2 UI, 16.7M color TFT screen, very usable camera, quad-band GSM, 3G w/ HSDPA, big RAM & expandable user memory, fast ARM CPU, etc. the only thing lacking is Wi-Fi, but that's not a deal-breaker for many people. N6220 is more feature-complete than most of the older & mid-range N-series phones that are still being sold today!
I think Nokia made a big mistake in doing that, they should have clearly delineated the two line-ups with some killer features that aren''t available in the lower line. Otherwise, I would just wait a year or less to get the same features in the newest N-Series to trickle down to the N6xxx line.
I mean why bother getting an N70ME, N73ME, N77, N80, N90, N91, N93i, etc., if there is such a thing as an N6220 available today? Can anyone give a decent answer?
