I have been very pleased with this phone which I bought mainly for the Sat Nav and the camera both of which have performed very well. The user interface is easy to use which has always been my experience with Nokia phones. I also like the software that comes with the phone for transferring files to my PC.
-
The battery life is not as good as - for example - the Sony w810 which I had prior to the Nokia.

It's easy to use and fully featured, the camera is pretty good considering it is on a mobile phone. It is still quite compact and relatively lightweight.
-
The battery life isn't great although it suffers somewhat in the comparison because my previous phone (a W880i) had exceptional battery life.

looks fantastic, has a wide range of applications, the GPS is great - I just think this is the best phone I've had to date and Ive yet to see one that would beat it for me
-
terrible Bluetooth connection, very few phones seem able to connect with it
The Sim Card holder is too tight and scratchs the simcards, if you remive it you may as well go get a new one as it wont work when you get it back in

Earphone slot doesn't take regular headphones, GPS doesn't always find where you are very quickly and searching for destinations isn't great, contacts section has space for a million phone numbers but nowhere to keep address.

Changes date by itself to 6 days in the future all the time so can't rely on reminders or alarm.
Often doesn't roll over date to next day.
Mute short cut button doesn't work

TechRadar expert review
The Nokia 6220 classic isn't one of those phones that immediately catches the eye and gets pulses racing. It's a fairly ordinary looking mobile, with a functional rather than flash typically Nokia design.But beneath the low-key exterior, the 6220 classic packs a feature punch similar to some of Nokia's top-spec Nseries smartphones, with high-end functionality inside ranging from high quality imaging to onboard satellite navigation.Impressive feature setIt boasts a 5-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics and a xenon flash, has integrated A-GPS technology for location finding and route…
