Review of GSM/UMTS-smartphone Nokia 6220 Classic

Mobile-review have posted their review of the Nokia 6220 Classic. Here is their final impression.

The 6220 Classic's reception quality is nothing to complain about - it easily lived to our highest expectations. While ring tones sounded loud and clear, we still think the phone's volume level wasn't quite enough. All in all, the 6220 Classic will certainly appeal to those looking for a no-frills smartphone. Contrary to a popular belief, this phone's edge over the N82 is not its price tag - back in June it made 325 Euro, basically this sum of money could well buy you a new N82 as well. So it all comes down to one crucial advantage, and that is Feature Pack 2 software; on all other fronts the Nokia N82 is a clear winner with its 3.5 mm audtio jack, more capacious battery, bigger and a tad brighter screen, WiFi connectiivty and slightly better materials.

Another rival to the 6220 Classic is the Motorola ZINE ZN5, that comes with a comparable camera, significantly better materials, WiFi connectivity, yet a similar price tag. If you are in the market for a good camera, and other features aren't all that improtant, then the 6220 Classic might be a good way to go. By the end of 2008 its price will roll down to the 270 Euro mark, which will make it an even more appealing choice.
