Nokia 6220 classic review: Sharp-witted shooter
Gsmarena have posted their review of the Nokia 6220 classic. Here are the key features, main disadvantages and final conclusion.
Key features
•2.2" 16M-color display of QVGA resolution
•Symbian 9.3 OS, S60 3.2 UI
•ARM 11 369 MHz CPU and 128 MB of RAM
•5 megapixel camera with active lens cover and xenon flash
•3G with HSDPA support
•Quad-band GSM support
•Built-in GPS with A-GPS support
•Compact and lightweight body
•120 MB user memory
•microSD card slot, up to 8GB cards supported
•FM radio with RDS
•TV-out
•Document viewer
•USB and Bluetooth v2.0
•More visual enhancements to the UI than any other S60 handset we've seen
•Nokia Maps comes with three months free turn-by-turn navigation license
Main disadvantages
•No Wi-Fi
•Xenon flash placed under the lens
•Uncomfortable shutter key
•Cheap-looking keypad, and we mean dirty cheap
•Display could have been bigger
To summarize, Nokia 6220 classic is better than its price tag and delivers without fail. For your buck you get an impressive range of imaging niceties, Symbian power and a snappy UI, plus all the added benefits of Feature Pack 2. Nokia 6220 classic is nothing short of a true Symbian workhorse. If only it didn't look a sick horse. And hey, we're not nagging for a flashy crowd-pleaser design. We just mean to say that the 6220 classic exterior is doing its performance no justice, all the more the dismal keypad.
Anyway, beside the looks, which is a subjective call, the absence of Wi-Fi is pretty much the only cause of frustration. On the other hand, there is hardly a handset to offer this kind of performance and features in this price range. If Wi-Fi isn't too high on your list and you're keen to find beauty in the most unlikely of things, you'll be enjoying a sensible purchase and strong performance.
