CNET Asia Review

Very good

7.9

View score

The good: GPS; HSDPA; 5-megapixel camera with Xenon flash.

The bad: Lack of 3.5mm headphone jack; lack of Wi-Fi.

The bottom line: The Nokia 6220 Classic is a great phone if you want a lot of features, but don't want to carry around a large handset. Our only disappointments are that the camera isn't as good as the one on the Nokia N82 and that there's no Wi-Fi.

Good Camera Phone



Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: 5 megapixel camera w Carl Zeiss lens, xenon flash, nice keypad, relatively light at 90gms, good battery life (with GPS turn off), large built-in 130MB memory, fast. good built quality.
Cons: No accelerometer, no 3.5mm standard phone jack, cannot charge phone with micro USB data cable, no wifi, poor battery life when GPS is turned on.
Opinion:
This is one of those phones where you have almost everything built-in. The strongest point of this phone is the award winning 5 megal pixel camera with Carl Zeiss lens and xenon flash (similar to that found in N82, which won the Best Mobile Phone Camera in the World award). Picture taken is sharp and bright and the colours are vibrant. It uses S60 ver 3 Symbian OS, which is relatively stable and fast. Since i am very familiar with the OS, navigating thru the menus and functions is a breeze. There are also built-in GPS processor as well as A-GPS, both of which can triangulate your postion fast. Unfortunately, leaving the GPS on will drain the battery very quickly. My phone was flat in less than a day with the GPS on and moderate use. But without the GPS on, it s can 2 days and more.
In a nutshell, this is very good camera phone, only let ... Read more

 

good phone



Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: 5 megapixel / good internal memory - Up to 120MB of on-board user memory plus an Expandable and swappable Micro SD card up to 8GB
Cons: no wifi / poor battery - Talk time: up to 2.5 hours (WCDMA) and up to 3.5 (GSM)
Opinion:
This phone (im my opinion) may have been better if it was wifi capable / but they did gave a boost for the memory capacity since it has a 5 megapixel camera along with it which will eat most of the memory of the phone / Nokia 1GB microSD Card MU-22 (with Nokia Maps pre-loaded and 90 days navigation trial period) = this is also nice since consumers who would like to try this service before buying or upgrading to a nokia navigational phone could have a better hands on for this feature for nokia / user interface is good = S60 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 2 user interface
Symbian version 9.3 operating system / good external features for a camera phone = Clear display for easy readability
5-way navigation key lights up to indicate new email and SMS/MMS messages, and also to show when you have a missed call
5-way navigation key (support depends on application), ... Read more

 

Good all-round phone!



Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: 5 mpx camera w/ xenon flash, 3G, GPS, Video (VGA 30 FPS)
Cons: No WiFi, poor battery life
Opinion:
This phone is hopefully going to do very well in the market. Very good specs. Would have appreciated WiFi since this is pretty high end. However, this phone should be cheaper than the N82. So, good job Nokia!
