Our Review of the Nokia 6220 Classic

The Nokia 6220 Classic is the latest in a new line of phone retrospectives from Nokia.

The Nokia 6220 Classic is the latest in a new line of phone retrospectives from Nokia. You have to question the thought process of giving a brand new handset the same name as some long forgotten house brick but the Finnish mobile phone giant got their huge market share by having more market nous than us mere mortals possess. For starters the 6220 classic could not be more different than its predecessor. Although it retains the standard Nokia utilitarian looks it has, as you would expect, an altogether more refined design.

The keypad on the Nokia 6220 classic gives you pretty much what you would expect from a Nokia. The buttons are large and relatively comfortable and give an adequate level of feedback. Below the 2.2" QVGA display lie two shortcut keys with two further keys branching off from the navigation pad. Navigating your finger over these buttons feels natural, even if the slightly upwardly curved layout of the keys seems as bit odd. The 6220 has a pleasant solid feel that seems to be a Nokia trademark these days even though the handset weighs a mere 90 grams. Quite an engineering feat when you consider how many features the 6220 classic has packed within its frame.

The Nokia 6220 classic has a very surprising 5 megapixel camera. It's surprising in the sense that this phone has not been put in the all singing all dancing N series range and not much seems to have been said about it. The handset features the same Xenon flash, auto focus and Carl Zeiss optics that were present in the N82 for a fraction of the price. The camera is also capable of video capture at a respectable 30 frames per second, nothing that will worry a HD video camera but it is good for taking quick videos on the move. Sharing your images is also a function that Nokia have built into the 6220 classic. The handset can upload pictures to Flickr with relative ease.

Combined with the very impressive 5 megapixel camera, the Nokia 6220 classic is HSDPA compatible. This makes over the air data transfer reasonably quick in areas that have HSDPA coverage. It comes especially handy when downloading music to the 6220 classic's inbuilt media software. The audio player supports all of the major file formats that you would expect and also comes with an FM radio tuner. To handle all of your media needs the 6220 classic comes with 120MB of internal memory and a microSD card slot that is upgradeable up to 8GB.

The Nokia 6220 classic really pushes the boundaries of what we should expect to see in a mid range handset. Maybe we can finally see an end to endless handset churned out with shoddy two megapixels cameras and no capacity for 3G.

 Pros

With a fantastic five megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics and built in GPS receiver the 6220 classic has it all.

 Cons

The 6220 classic has the standard Nokia utilitarian design, so it's quite dull to look at.

Nokia 6220 Classic Review

Review by: anon7011 from , 6th November 2008

At first I thought this was a fab phone, despite its cheap and tacky appearance, but after only a month of moderate use it all went wrong! GPS navigation stopped working, camera kept freezing, messages didnt always send, I kept losing calls and then to top it all off the keypad has totally frozen up and the icons on the main screen have vanished. I can't even use the phone now as I have no way of even unlocking my sim card! Definitely won't be replacing with the same model. Not one of nokia's better designs! View Full Review
