I Have Been Using The Nokia 6220 For More Than 6 M
I have been using the nOKIA 6220 for more than 6 months. Its very comfortable to handle. I have used other phones of Nokia and others as well. But I would suggest my friend to purchase this phone, if someone asks my suggestion. I am 85% satisfied with this phone. Voice recording feature of this phone is too good.

Bought This Phone 2 Months Ago To Use For Business
Bought this phone 2 months ago to use for business purposes as it is advertised. Well, Nokia is fooling you folks, this phone is just a poor toy. E-mails exceeding 30 kb cannot be downloaded. If there is a big attachment and a few lines of message, you cannot download the e-mail at all. My previous Ericsson could at least drop attachments and give me the message body.
Screen is dreadful, impossible to read if not illuminated. Battery is very poor, doesn't survive more than 2 days. Reception is sometimes funny; metallic and very silent.
Funnily, everytime I synchronize with my Laptop, the automatic keylock stops functioning. Have to turn off and on.
A total disappointment on my first Nokia after long Ericsson years.
I hereby would like to thank the person who stole the phone from me last weekend. In a rather expensive way, I got rid of this rubbish, which couldn't be fixed even after service stops. What a relief!

I've Had The Nokia 6220 For About 3 Months And I P
I've had the Nokia 6220 for about 3 months and I previously owened a few cheap ones but now I am so sick of the phone. I am looking for a new one any suggestions are welcome, but onto the phone it just annoys me nothing is up to standard for the price of it. This phone is more suited to an older business man who just needs to talk.

I Have Been Using The Nokia 6220 For About A Year
I have been using the Nokia 6220 for about a year now after having used several others. This set is out of the world. Apart from being stylish it is a great performer. It is a brilliant organizer, fast in communicating and swift in surfing. It is sturdy and hard working too. Of the few demerits that I have experienced are, battery capacity is low and it is not compatible to enable picture transfer to studios for print like its other counterparts in the same category do. I only wonder, when technology has gone so far why can't these sets be equipped with more reference data stored into it. This could be of immense help to use as a ready-reckoner. One could store frequently-sought information/data of ones unique requirement. Adding of bluetooth would have been another advantage. The keypad is good but when in dark it is active and (keypad)glows the keypad prints become too blurred to identify the alphabets making message-writing difficult. The Screen could have easilly been made larger as they are in other highend models of NOKIA. On the whole I'am happy using the set. Thanks to NOKIA for making it easy and convenient in 'connecting people' and more.

I Have Been Using This Phone For A Little Over 3 M
I have been using this phone for a little over 3 months and have been very satisfied with the product. Yes, I have noted certain shortcomings in the phone, but in the true sense it should not indicate that the phone is not good. If the features asked for were provided, the phone would be a class unto itself.
The mobile phone which I purchased was manufactured in Hungary and has a battery which too is made in Hungary - the battery life is excellent. I specifically mention this, is because, I have experienced that the Nokia 3530 which I owned earlier was supplied with a battery made in China - this battery used to discharge at an alarming rate.
Bluetooth and Infrared have become the order of the day. It is commendable that Nokia has started providing these features in most of their mobile phones.
One particular disturbing fact that I have faced is when I visited my digital lab to download/print the pictures I had clicked. I wasted a lot of time as I had to send each picture seperately via the infrared to the processing unit.
A suggestion to Nokia - please include the connectivity cable as standard accessory in the kit of mobile phones which have PC connectivity capabilities.
Overall an excellent mobile phone in it's price band.
Finally - I am a regurlar visitor to the Nokia website and have noticed with great interest that Nokia will soon be launching the 6630. The features that are provided on this particular mobile phone, with the additional memory are all that I would desire - I am just, I repeat - just waiting to own a 6630. My only hope is that the performance of the 6630 matches the prior reputation that it has earned. Nokia - What A Way To Go!

Many Phones Seem To Be A Digital Camera Which Happ
Many phones seem to be a digital camera which happen to make calls but this Nokia 6220 is a proper mobile phone which happens to have a camera. All the usual Nokia user friendliness is there and moving about menus is easy though the main selection button in the top left is quite tricky to press and I often press the green call button instead which has no effect.
It does all the stuff phones do nowadays, camera, photo wallpaper, screensavers, polyphonic ring tones, scheduler etc but the feature which stands out is the video and sound functions. You can video short video clips (about 20 secs each) with sound onto the phone. This is a handy feature but is sadly let down a bit by the poor screen and poor sound quality. Also its possible to record audio in 1 minute sections and use it as a ring tone. This looked great but to record them loud enough to function as a ringtone means a severe problem with the quality of the sound as its only really meant for voice.
Overall im very happy with my phone, the next model of this (the 6230) will be an amazing phone but may be quite expensive so if you want that phone with more basic features then this is the one for you.
I have had my Nokia 6220 since 11.6.04 and have been quite satisfied with it. I have listed the positive and negative points below:
POSITIVE
1. Extensive organiser/calender/scheduler - I do not use my digital diary any more. THIS BENIFITS ME THE MOST.
2. Mobile phone and battery are both made in Hungary. Battery life is very very good - possibly as it is new! [Please do not use batteries made in China]. Mobile phone sets sold in India are mostly assembled in China or without indications as to country of manufacture.
3. Ring Tones provided are quite good - though more could have been loaded.
4. Security Keypad - Excellent feature.
5. FM radio - a nice feature, though one has to use the headset to tune in.
6. Camera - good feature, however should have had a normal [2x] zoom.
NEGATIVE
1. I too have the problem wherein 'Subscribed Names' pops back in the 'Go To' options even after being deleted.
2. Wallpapers provided are not up to quality - better images could have been loaded.
3. Cannot record music to be used as tones - recording not clear.
4. I miss the SMS message counter which was available in the Nokia 3530.
Otherwise nothing much to complain about - after all it is a Nokia product. I constantly browse the Nokia website and have noted that Nokia will shortly launch the 6630 - Oh Boy! Am I waiting to get that mobile?
always Nokia is the best... I love this new 6220. this also dosen't have bluetooth and MP3, and the screen resolution is not very good, but, the features and the shape is great. the camera is really good quality, but looks a bit dull in this screen, when you download it into a computer the quality is good.
there are not any better games loaded with the phone, but can be downloaded. the Radio is really very nice and the head-set given with the phone is really really best quality. the organiser is very useful. I really like this phone very much,
I've had my 6220 for about a week now, and the first thing I noticed was the Subscribed Names shortcut keeps popping up on the "Go To" menu even after I've deleted it. Do you think there is a software upgrade to solve the problem?
Also, I noticed that the screen (with the default brightness setting) isn't as bright as the other Nokia phones like the 6610, 7250, and the 3100. The screen definitely lacks brightness.
For the record, my 6220 is made in Hungary. Software Version a4.08 Nov 03, 2003.
Just an update to the review really after having more time using the phone. The voice isn't too quiet, that was a problem with the other persons mobile who I was speaking too! It's very loud. Only small probs are when you select a new picture for the background wallpaper it defaults to turning the wallpaper off so you have to go through the menus and turn it back on. Also the games seem to be severely lacking in sound, I expected better sounds from polyphonic. Also in the goto list which is a list of regularly used features it keeps putting subscribed names in there even though I keep turning it off! And lastly there was a bit of interference when talking using the supplied headset. Apart from those small probs its a great phone.
