Rui CarmoThe 6220 Classic is somewhat of a mid-point between the 6120 Classic and the 6210 Navigator. Having used it for the better part of six months, I am somewhat taken by it, but expected more.
Pluses:
- Decent 5Mp camera with flash the ability to record moderately good (but not overwhelming) video
- Good screen
- Worked fine as a Bluetooth modem
- Usable GPS (and ability to geotag photos)
- One of the first to support the new version of Mail for Exchange
- Video out abillity
Minuses:
- Camera is slow and exhibits the usual Nokia color tinge
- Flash proved to be weak even for close shots
- Cheapo plastic keypad (too easy to lift and break)
- Atrocious fade effects that make the overall UI much slower than it could be
- Confusing UI (downloaded applications are stashed away multiple folders down by default, no relation between this device’s folder layout and other models’)
