Nokia 6220 Classic Review

Purple reign: Nokia's new blower comes with a penchant for purple


Adorned in a Boy George-esque purple casing this phone is a real looker. Weighing in at 90g and measuring up to a mere 108mm it's not your Nokia N95 pocket drooper.It's not just about looks with this mobile phone, it packs the standard 5 megapixel Carl Zeiss lens and a VGA camcorder. Pictures are as detailed as a pixel patchwork quilt and the red eye reduction banishes eye shine.

Viewing the pictures on the 2.2inch screen is a breeze. The screen is bright and the menu's are as easy to follow as a manual for a bicycle helmet. Scroll through your pics, music and browse the tinterweb using the scroll pad and sausage finger-friendly buttons.Music wise- you get 13 hours playback but switch to use the FM radio and it sucks juice like a volt hungry vamp. Bump up the 256MB memory on board to 8GB with a micro SD card, and strap on your own cans into the headphone jack. Sound quality doesn't compete with the likes of the Sony Ericsson W910, but we can't quibble. We caught the warbling delights of Bono through our cans.
Nokia's been reeling out phones faster than Gazza guzzling his pint. The 6220 Classic is another term classic? Practical, purple and dull.

WE LOVE
Lightweight
Colorful menu

WE HATE
It's the same as all the others, but in purple

WE SAY
A blower with more features than cords in a Deep Purple guitar solo
