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...

I just bought the phone today. It boasts excellent features no doubt but the keypad is terrible and not to mention the design. But on the overall i am pleased with thepurchase. The GPS receiver is marvellous and well i'm still trying to figure out a lot of things.
Until then . . . .Heita

Been using this phone for a few months now and it rocks.
UI is smooth and have had no hassles. The gps works great specially with Garmin software.
Camera is great and flash has some potent power.
Over all this is my perfect phone as it has huge amounts of power with a very small size factor.
I love this phone.

i think nokia are just creating something for those people who can't afford to buy nSeries. 6220c belongs to this group. lets just respect nokias ideas.

Great feature list let down by poor quality control. Keypad falls off and the software on mine is dodgy and shuts down the phone unexpectedly, and it struggles to maintin reception. Some carriers here in Aust won't even sell it!

Bought one just a few days back.... believe me its an excellent phone, with awesome picture quality. I clicked some pics in pitch dark and the xenon flash did the magic .....Superb picture quality, though video quality isn't that appreciable. For photo samples from the phone mail me at justdosti@hotmail.com

Yuck! Packaging good features at a low price and sacrificing looks & durability. Typical Nokia.

Yeah, the first 6220s availalbe had some really bad keypads, still do somehow, it just looks somehow cheap, the tactiles of it arent the smoothest I have experienced and somehow they tend to produce a clicking sound all too often while pressing them. Not the best when it comes to that. But again, 5MP with Xenon for that price. Hmmm... Would have been a great phone, shall the quality of its cover and keypads been a bit better.
why is it that GPS needed only by those who could afford Nseries? not really, for that price, it would make sense for someone to buy and have some fun geotagging photos and videos for uploads on the internet.

No WiFi? Nokia just shot themselves in the foot with this one.. I'd much rather have WiFi than GPS.
And I can't believe the reviewer is mentioning the N82 as an alternative. That phone looks worse than a piece of steaming turd. I'd much rather buy any other N-series..

Hi everyone.......
People who can use gps are those who can afford high end phones.
Wi fi should have been included instead of gps.
The phone seems ok for the price.
Though the screen is small.and the phone resembles sony ericsson models.

this reviews a bit slow... ive been looking at this phone for a while now and i think this has sealed the deal. im not a big WLAN user, while yes it would be nice, its not too bad. thats a pity on the keypad... ill check out that... no point in having a phone if you dont enjoy using it! thanks for the review!

Nokia always seem to lets its phones down with it keypads the N73 the N82 an the N78 would have been alot better mobiles if Nokia had put Quality keypads on them an now the 6220 classic follows suite,Nokias got to realise the keypad size ,quality an the ease of use it what you want when paying top classs prices for its supposed to be its top class mobiles but they never seem to learn from there letdowns
