Nokia 6220 classic review

Network and connections
The Nokia 6220 immediately presents itself as a phone meant to push beyond every boundary. Dual-type technology, with GSM Quadband and UMTS, allows for perfect signal reception in every country in the world. High quality is also shown in the support for fast data transfer: HSDPA up to 3.5 Mbps. Together with the built-in modem and the html browser, it becomes an excellent tool for surfing the Web. And to exchange images and files with friends, there are also Bluetooth and the USB 2.0 connection.

Design and features
The shapes of this Nokia smartphone follow the classic Candybar design. However, the lines have been slightly redesigned, giving softer and more rounded contours. Standard Nokia-style keyboard, with the convenient central key for scrolling through menus. Above it instead is the large 2.2-inch QVGA TFT screen, with 16 million color crystals. All of this is enclosed in compact dimensions, for a weight of only 90 grams. In Italy the 6220 is sold together with a 1GB microSD card, stereo headset, and video connection cable.

Main features
A pocket companion like the Nokia 6220 must offer practical and convenient utilities. Organizer, built-in speakerphone, and address book with advanced contact management are just some of the applications. The Quickoffice package allows you to edit and view text documents and spreadsheets. Also interesting is the ambient light sensor, which allows the screen contrast to be adjusted automatically and saves energy. E-mail and messaging services such as SMS and MMS round out the range of functions, along with voice calling.

Entertainment and multimedia
On the back of the 6220 you immediately notice the camera, which boasts a resolution of as much as 5 megapixels with Carl Zeiss optics. Thanks to a powerful Xenon flash and autofocus, every photo will be perfectly sharp, as will the videos captured. Everything can be played back on a TV screen thanks to the Tv-Out output. The multiformat player, on the other hand, is capable of playing audio and video collections, as well as FM radio stations complete with RDS support. In addition, an added value is given by the built-in GPS receiver, with Nokia Maps software for navigation.
