Nokia 6220

I have recently purchased a Nokia 6220, and WOW! What an upgrade from the Nokia 3310. I thought snake was a breakthough! Overall, I have found the phone extremely easy to use. It has many help screens to guide you through each of the functions of the phone, and also has a customizable user interface, allowing you to use it in the way you best fit, or in the way you best like more importantly. I have however found, in my experience, that the sound tends to fade after excessive use, and have had some minor problems with the volume and the disappearance of sound. This is probably due to the humidity and wet climate that we live in, but do be careful. Also ...  Read the complete review

The Nokia 6220 was one of the versions behind the massively successful 6230 - here, we take a look back at the phone several years on. With phones depreciating almost to a zero value, this phone can be had seriously cheaply now. So, should you get it? Incidentally Nokia are now recycling some model numbers (such as the old 6210) and this phone should not be confused with the up-coming 6220 Classic model.

Debuting shortly after the 7210/7250 models, it offers very similar features to these phones, albeit with a more traditional keypad layout. The phone offers a camera ...  Read the complete review

Nokia is fond of releasing new models with just a cosmetic difference from older phones already released in the market. Nokia just changed the looks and feel but the features are just the same. This is also the reason why I did not recommend the 3100 in my past review. Same is true with the Nokia 6220, it is just a copy of the 7250 with just minor improvements. It boasts of the EDGE support, a kind of improved and faster GPRS that provides faster data transmission, this feature however is not necessary for most users and we have not seen any significant difference in terms of speed and reliability when we test it. What attracted me to the 6220 is ...  Read the complete review

Had this Nokia for a short period of time, to use for my second SIM card - and it was fine for that job; just as a back up phone for the sim number that i wasn't dependant on. I wouldn't recommend this phone as a permanent, every day constant use phone. Firstly, I found that the vibrate feature on the phone was very weak, and was almost impossible to feel. Attempted to get this fixed but was told that that's how they were made. Secondly, the side buttons [with telephones on them] were difficult to use as the centre button had such a large scope. The buttons themselves too, weren't hugely appropriate for texting, and made clicking noises - which was ...  Read the complete review
