Camera Phones Plaza

Announced in early November 2008, Nokia 5130 XpressMusic has been made available on the market in February 2009.

The 2-inch TFT screen does its job without any problems in almost any conditions. The keyboard is quite comfortable. The keys are sufficiently spacious and respond well to commands. In addition, I have not noticed any problems regarding the control button in the middle of the D-Pad and it seemed very easy to control. Around the D-pad, you can see two contextual keys and the usual Accept and Reject call keys. On both sides, on the top, the phone has two scales that look like two speakers. In fact, none of them is a speaker, and only the one on the left side has a utility, because it includes below some red LEDs that light up when you start the music player. This allows enhancement of the dedicated music keys located on the left side of the phone. These lights, are somehow synchronized with the rhythm of the music, and work only when you open the music player, but not when it is minimized.

The dedicated music keys located on the left side of the device can be used for the following : Next, Play / Pause, Back. On the right side, there is a small slot for a microSD card and two volume keys. The 3.5 mm jack, the microUSB port and the charging slot were placed on the top of the phone. The video / photo camera features 2 megapixels and does not include flash or autofocus, but that is understandable, if we think, what actually the phone’s target is. A metal frame somehow protects the camera, but due to the low quality of the pictures, I do not think that it will be used too often.

Nokia 5130 XpressMusic is a certain win in terms of design. It is much more attractive than most of its predecessors in the same serie. The Finnish producer will make a considerable profit with Nokia 5130 on the cheap phones market.

Nokia 5130 XpressMusic includes a 2 inch TFT display, which supports 262.000 colors and a resolution of 240x320 pixels. Even if it is very small, in terms of screen quality, it is quite good, in accordance with Nokia’s standards, but it cannot be compared with screens that can display 16 million colors. Regarding the visibility in sunlight, it behaves quite well, but the colors will seem a little whipped out.

The 2-megapixels photo / video camera does not have any advanced features, which makes it somehow useless, because the image quality is very low. Without autofocus, flash and very bad video capabilities, I do not recommend this phone to those who want a phone with a good camera. The maximum resolution that users can use to take pictures is 1600x1200 pixels. For videos, the maximum resolution is 176x144 pixels (QCIF 15 fps). The poor interface of the camera includes only standard features that do not change at all the quality in the pictures made. Moreover, the camera is a little slower than we anticipated. You can try to adjust some picture settings, but as we said above, this will not change the quality in pictures: White Balance and Effects.

The phone also includes some useful applications such as Search, Alarm Clock, Calendar, To-do list, Note, Calculator, Countdown timer, World Clock and chronometer. The menu is completely customizable and you can designate any MP3, MIDI or AAC file as ringtone. Nokia 5130 XpressMusic comes with Opera Mini browser installed by default, so the Internet experience will be excellent.

The address book can store up to 2000 contacts, and you can add up to six phone numbers for each contact. The fonts can be customized, but only the ones shown at the opening of a contact, those that appear in your web browser and those that appear in the message section. The phone also comes with some preinstalled Java games: Bounce Tales, Rally 3D and Snake III. The terminal is compatible with Java MIDP 2.1 applications, but there is a size limit for applications that can be installed (around 1MB). This is true for most compatible Java applications, but I noticed that you could run a few applications that have about 1.5 MB in size. Be aware that not all Java applications will work on this terminal.

The Nokia 5130 XpressMusic terminal is compatible with GPRS and EDGE class 32, but as tests have shown, the data transfer speeds are not exactly great (EDGE only 165 kb/s download and 63 kb/s upload), however they can vary greatly depending on location and the GSM operator used.

The phone also includes Bluetooth 2.0 EDR with A2DP support for faster data transfers, but also for listening to music through wireless headphones. The synchronization with the PC is possible with the proprietary microUSB port, but charging the phone through the USB cable is not possible. The device supports all standard SMS messages, MMS (maximum attachment 300 KB) and e-mail. The e-mail client is compatible with POP3, SMTP and IMAP4, and supports more than one e-mail.

The quad-band terminal (GSM 850 / GSM 900 / GSM 1800 / GSM 1900) receives GSM signal quite well. The sound is above average in terms of quality, at both ends, and quite powerful during conversations.

Nokia 5130 XpressMusic includes an ARM9 processor operating at speeds up to 220 MHz. Even if not the fastest phone on the market, it will not be any slower than other competing models in its class. The terminal includes 30MB of internal memory, which can be extended thanks to the microSD card slot. Nokia 5130 comes even with a 1GB microSD memory card in the sales package, and although Nokia says that users can expand the memory up to 2GB, our tests have shown that it immediately detects 8GB cards too.

The sale package includes stereo headphones Nokia Music Headset WH-102, but they can be easily replaced, since the phone has a 3.5 mm audio jack. The music player interface looks exactly like the interface in the previous XpressMusic phones, and supports an impressive number of file types (including MP3, WMA and eAAC +). I was impressed both by the sound quality from the external speaker and by the sound quality of the music player. Nokia 5130 XpressMusic is certainly one of the best choices in its price range, especially for those who want a music phone with a big autonomy. The music player includes the equalizer function, which has five settings available, Stereo Widening, Loudness and Balance. The interface of the FM radio is standard, and can automatically scan and save the available stations. It supports RDS function, but lacks Visual Radio. Both features, radio and music player, can be used in the background without problems.

Nokia 5130 XpressMusic also includes the Real player application for playing videos. The video player can play movies in both modes: normal and full screen. Unfortunately, due to the very small screen, this experience is quite frustrating.

Nokia 5130 XpressMusic has a Li-Ion 1020 mAh (BL-5C) battery, which resists up to 288 hours in standby mode and about 6 hours of talk time. Nokia also said that the phone is capable to resist in the music mode for almost a day (22 hours). The phone I took needed a charge every 3 days, but was not used more than 15 minutes for calls per day. This leads me again to think that the figures given by Nokia are overstated.

Nokia has managed to throw on the market a more than decent phone in terms of musical performance, and at a very good price. I hope that those who were disappointed in the past by some models from the XpressMusic series, will give Nokia 5130 XpressMusic a chance.

September of 2007 was the month, in which Nokia E51 was launched. The E series from Nokia is more dedicated to the business segment.

Nokia E51 knows how to combine the compact look with the design and the utility, making the phone a classic and conservative phone. This model is the successor of E50, but E51 does not resemble too much with it.

E51 measures 114.8 x 46 x 12 mm and weighs 100 grams and the 12 mm thick make it the slimmest phone from Nokia E Series. Like its predecessor, E51 is plated with metal, but unfortunately, it has a more glossy finish, which looks better when it is in a box, or else it becomes a magnet for fingerprints that so many people hate.

Designed in the "candybar" style, it is easier to “work” with it than with a slider. The screen and the keyboard occupy the front side of the phone. The phone has a 2 inch TFT LCD screen with 16 million colors and a QVGA resolution of 240 x 320 pixels. Above the screen, we have the "strategic" placement of the light sensor and the speakerphone.

Next on the list is the keypad which presents itself to be an alphanumeric standard keypad, but with a little more generous D-Pad. The D-Pad has two selection buttons, a menu key, a calendar dedicated key, a shortcut key for the calendar, a dedicated button for the messages menu and finally the two buttons that are used for calling / answering and ending /rejecting the call. The only problem in this entire thing is the C key, Cancel, which is located between the buttons call and end call and is often accidentally pressed when using the D-pad. Besides the D-Pad, the phone has a normal alphanumeric keypad.

Only the power button occupies the top side of the phone, while the right side has only two volume buttons. The left side is "disturbed" by the dedicated camera button and the bottom of the phone is the most loaded side: here we find the charger slot, the microphone, a miniUSB port and the slot for the hand-strap.

The back side of the phone is covered with plastic; here we find the 2 megapixel camera and the cap that covers the Lithium-Ion battery BP-6MT, which has a capacity of 1070 mAh. In theory, this battery gives the phone the power to withstand 310 hours in standby mode and up to 4 hours of talk time.

Nokia E51 runs on Symbian 9.2 operating system series 60. The phone menu is quite intuitive and its icons can be placed as a matrix or as a list. The phone’s internal memory is only 130 MB, but anyone can make a radical upgrade using a microSD card up to 4GB.

For messaging, the phone does not disappoint you, allowing you to send SMS, MMS, audio messages and e-mails. When you send an MMS, the phone automatically gives you the possibility to edit it, so you can choose from inserting an image, audio clip, a video or a predefined template.

The E-mail client is standard, supporting POP3, IMAP4 and SMTP protocols. However, the e-mails with E51 are somehow special, because the client supports attachments, so in this category, the phone scores well. E51 supports Office features, and by that, I mean that the phone can view Word and Excel documents.

Nokia E51 is different from E50, its musical characteristics have improved, the audio files supported being MP3, AAC, eAAC +, WMA, AMR-NB and AMR-WB, but even like that, its music player interface is quite hard, literally and figuratively. The navigation through the menu of the player is made using the D-Pad, and the buttons on the right side control the volume.

If the user will use a 4 GB microSD card, than the music player has its purpose, but unfortunately, the sound quality totally disappoints. Better than the player from the Nokia Prism, but much worse than the one found in Nokia N81, this phone still manage to score, average, because E51 is still a terminal dedicated to the business segment.

On the video part, the phone is doing pretty well, managing to play files in both portrait mode and in landscape mode. Even if the screen is quite small for viewing, because the dedicated buttons are well hidden when the video is running, you have no problems with a smaller screen. The phone does not lack though the integrated FM radio.

On the photo part, the phone handles like any other E-series phone, and by that, I mean it has modest performances. We cannot ask too much from the 2-megapixel camera without autofocus and flash. Normally, it would be enough for such a phone, but there is no "mirror" for self-portraits, which we usually find in a business phone. The user will not find too many functions to use, night mode, clock, white balance and color tone being the only ones that raise the phone higher, and the image gallery could have been better.

Connectivity is the chapter where Nokia E51 scores better than ever. We start only with the data transfer. It is made directly through the MiniUSB 2.0 and the Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP support and IrDA (115 kbps) while "infrared" is not something that can warm hearts anymore.

Then I should mention the networks that from GPRS and EDGE to 3G with HSDPA support are all present in this phone. The phone also has Wi-Fi. With the WAP and xHTML browsers, the user can easily view the pages. In this chapter, the phone handles very well.

Nokia E51 can be called a business phone, even if the features shown are much lower than those of a complete smartphone more appropriate to this class. Unfortunately, it has some lacks in the multimedia chapter. If the user is satisfied with less or if a smartphone is too complicated, E51 is their best choice for such a dilemma.

The terminals belonging to the Nokia N Series are well known for combining the business functions with the media functions, and Nokia N73 fits this pattern perfectly. The 3 Megapixel Carl Zeiss camera, the Symbian OS, the generous screen size, plus many other innovative features, make from Nokia N73 a mobile that can face any challenges. I will now make a short presentation of the main functions in this Nokia N73 review.

Increasingly many manufacturers want to impose on the market by the challenging design of the terminals. It is not the case of Nokia, because when we talk about the mobiles belonging to the N series we refer to a simple, elegant and well-considered building to facilitate a pleasant and easy use. N73's casing comprises a shock-resistant plastic, pleasant to the touch. The dimensions of the terminal are among the lowest, but the length of 11 cm, width of 4.9 cm and 1.9 cm thick are justified by the implemented technologies. Thanks to the smart placement of the components, the terminal is balanced, so the weight of 116 grams does not create discomfort.

The name of the company and the name of the model were placed discreetly on the top front side, on the left of the video call camera, and sometimes, labeled under the display, we find the name of the distributor.

The keyboard has a rounded appearance, the number keys are well defined, easily responding to commands and are surrounded by two keys on the left side, two keys on the right side, and the joystick above. On the left, we have the key that sends us to the Symbian operating system menu, alongside the one that changes the characters and the punctuation in a text message. Nokia have hampered seriously the speed with which we can write a text by replacing the classic system, with another one that separates the types of the characters. On the right, we have the Clear key (C), which can delete files or characters, and a multimedia key that sends us to the media player, displaying the last song played. At the top, we have the classic keys to make and end a call, to enter and exit a menu, and in their center is a joystick which allows easy navigation through the mobile interface.

On the right side of the phone, we find the volume control buttons (or the zoom control buttons), the camera button (or the picture gallery button). On the other side, we see the infrared port and a clip that can attach a cord. On the top side, we find the power button and the speaker, which is covered by a perforated surface that is imitating metal. On the opposite side, we have another speaker, two sockets - one for the headphone connection and one for the data cable and the charger connection. Here we also find and miniSD card slot, which is located this time better, it is no longer necessary to open the case to get access to it.

The 3.2 Megapixel camera and the flash are covered by a flap on which we find the Nokia logo and some plastic inserts to ensure an optimal adhesion. I need to mention the annoying sound produced by the opening of the flap. The cap, along of the back casing, that hides the SIM card slot and the battery it can be removed easily by simply pressing a button, followed by a draw.

Nokia N73 is equipped with a screen that has a diagonal of more than 2 inches, 36 x 48 mm, a TFT large enough to make the using of the phone to be fun. The high quality of the displayed images and videos on N73 is due to a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels. To increase the visual quality, the Finnish manufacturer has incorporated a sensor that adjusts the brightness of the display according to the ambient light. In this way, it increases the battery life by reducing the screen brightness and the keyboard illumination when those are not necessary.

The terminal offers support for 2G networks, all GSM bands - 850, 900, 1800 and 1900 MHz. With the help of the secondary VGA camera and the 3G (UTMS Band 2100) support, Nokia N73 can host video calls. The 3G connectivity significantly reduces the life of the battery and therefore I recommend you to activate it only when you want to browse the Internet or to make / receive a video call.

The sound during the calls is satisfactory, being played clean and loud. The address book supports unlimited entries and the contacts can be organized into groups. The call log can keep the calls made / received in the last 30 days, thus missing a call, or viewing the dialed and the received calls does not constitute any problem. The messaging allows sending SMS, MMS, and last but not least an email client is present.

Nokia has chosen to use a Li-Ion battery with a capacity of 1100 mAh and which promises a talk time of 6 hours and a standby mode that reaches the value of 350 hours. In reality, the values are somewhat lower, but good enough if we take account of the present functions. Of course, the battery life depends mainly on the used functions.

Because we speak of a phone that belongs to the N series, with a 3 Megapixel camera , we should expect to also have a very large storage capacity, but things are not quite like that. The internal memory is only 42 MB, which is not very much. However, this is not that bad, because the memory can be extended via the miniSD slot, and there is even a 64 MB card included in the package. The introduction or the removal of the card can be made without turning off the phone, thanks to the hotswap technology.

The ARM 9 220 MHz processor along with the 64 MB SDRAM allows a significant number of applications to run at the same time before you can notice that the device is working slower. Despite the operating system consumes about 50 MB, and the usable RAM memory is reduced to 14 MB, the speed navigation remains fairly good, but for a smartphone is definitely not the best.

The Internet browsing is made at speeds of up to 384 kbits / second, thanks to the 3G support and in places where it does not exist, the Class 11 EDGE connection secures a download up to 236.8 kbits / second. To connect various accessories, the terminal has Bluetooth v2.0 with A2DP profile support. The infrared port, although outdated, is welcome, providing synchronization with older phones. The connection to the computer can be done wirelessly via Bluetooth, or through the microUSB port or by attaching a data cable. I conclude with a positive note, because Nokia N73 meets almost all needs in terms of connectivity, but it could have been better if we had a support for Wi-Fi.

Pro:
- The quality camera with many adjustments and options
- Quality display
- The included quality headset
- The 3G support
- The browser performance
Cons:
- The quite generous dimensions of the phone
- The Symbian OS processes pretty slowly
- The quality of the videos was very poor

I hope this short Nokia N73 review will be useful to you if you think about buying this phone.

Having a fancy name – Nokia N73 Music Edition, the version tested by us has only one difference from the N73's standard, namely the media key sends us directly to the music player. It is very easy to control the player via the joystick or the remote control of the handsfree. The equalizer has 6 presets - default, bass booster, classical, jazz, pop and rock. The shuffle function has not been forgotten by those from Nokia, so that songs can be played in random order.

The sound played by Nokia N73 Music Edition is characterized by clarity, and not only through a headset. N73’s built-in stereo speakers emit a clear and strong sound, so we can listen to music in good condition in small rooms.

The package in which N73 comes delivered has a handsfree, a data cable, a charger and CDs with the software necessary to connect the phone with the computer. The handsfree consists of two parts. The first part includes a remote control, which can adjust the volume, we can stop and start playing, or go to the next song and at its end, it has a 3.5 mm audio jack, and a microphone. Due to the microphone placement in this location, we can change the headphones with our favorite pair, but at the same time, we can use them for making calls. The second part of the headset consists of a very comfortable pair of headphones. The ability to lock the keys on the remote is a plus and does nothing but to highlight the attention to detail given by the Finnish producer.

Nokia N73 Music Edition is distinguished by the key that sends us directly to media player, where we can open the stereo FM radio, the audio files in MP3 and AAC format, respectively the MPEG4 videos.

It is time to talk about the integrated camera on N73, and I must recognize that I waited for this time since the beginning of the test. The phone comes equipped with two optical sensors, one VGA for video calls and one that has more than 3 Megapixels, perfect for making high quality pictures and videos. If the pictures that can have a maximum resolution of 2048x1536 pixels does not impress, the Carl Zeiss lens present a high interest from the users. The opening of the diaphragm varies between 2.8 and 5.6, very good values (for a cell phone). In addition, the autofocus guarantee success pictures in most situations.

The menu of the camera is displayed in landscape mode and it can be accessed by simply opening the protective cover. At a first look, we notice in the bottom, the number of pictures that we can make and the quality of these pictures. We can save the pictures in the phone's internal memory or on the memory card. On the right side there are 9 icons arranged vertically, with which we can change the settings of the camera. The icons toolbar can be hidden and it appears only when moving the joystick. If a function is selected, after a few seconds will experience a brief description, which can become annoying and which unfortunately can not be disabled.

Switching between camera mode and the video mode is done very quickly in a very short time through a joystick movement. With the help of the Scene modes function, we can use 8 different presets: Auto, Macro, Portrait, Landscape, Sport, Night, Night Portrait and User Settings. Thanks to the large optical sensor, in some cases we do not need the flash, however at night it can be set on automatic, the choice of using it is up to the phone. A useful feature is the reduction of red eye that appears from the use of the flash.

To not miss any opportunity to appear in a picture, the camera has a self timer can be set to 2, 10 or 20 seconds. Activating the Sequence mode function, we can take pictures to the moving objects. If we are not satisfied with the brightness of the photo, but we do not want to use to flash, we can change the exposure time of the diaphragm from the Exposure compensation function.

We must remember the white balance and the color tones settings, useful to reduce the white excess, respectively to customize some pictures. N73 comes with something new (compared to Sony Ericsson K800) – the ISO sensitivity control, which can significantly improve the quality of the pictures.

If on the pictures part we are pretty satisfied, when it comes to video recording, things are not so good. First, the resolution at which N73 records a video is definitely not good, because clips with 352 x 288 pixels we can find at cameras that only have 1.3 Megapixel. The pictures can be stored directly on the memory card, but the videos can not be saved on the external memory so it remains only the internal memory, and when this is exhausted, the recording stops. Even if it is not something essential, the digital zoom (during the video recording) is missing.

The whole Nokia N series uses the Symbian operating system integration. On N73, we find the version 9 of Symbian, the S60 interface that reached its third edition. The navigation speed is quite good, the terminal manages to open large files quickly. We can not talk about any new things, so on the main screen are displayed shortcuts for 6 favorite applications, tasks list, and above those we see the clock, analog or digital. Accessing the main menu is done by pressing the classic Symbian key, and we can choose two ways to view the applications: in the form of large icons, or as a list.

The main applications included in the operating system are the file manager, the organizer with extended functions, an image editor and an image viewer, and not least, a document viewer. However, as we are used to, Symbian opens many possibilities for using a terminal, by supporting a vast collection of applications.

I also noticed the exceptional Web browser that N73 has and the speed with which a site is displayed is really good. One unique thing is the presence of the cursor, which we can control using the joystick, and which can get rid of existing deficits compared with a touchscreen device. The browser retains in the memory of the phone the last visited sites and we have the opportunity to save our favorite sites for viewing them offline. The only drawback noted is that the image can not be displayed in the landscape mode, which would be great considering that we do not have a very large display.

Nokia N73 Music Edition is not a revolutionary phone from any point of view, but it can satisfy a wide range of users, and because of that, we can only say that it is a good choice. If what you are looking for is a mobile that is doing well in all chapters, then N73 is what you need. The 3.2 Megapixel camera, the Symbian operating system, the high speed Internet browsing (because of the 3G support), the clear sound and of course the accommodation with the easy interface places Nokia N73 with a step ahead of the competition. The low operating speed managed to disturb us very much, but the rest of the functions compensate for this, so we can only end in a positive note.

Nokia 6220 Classic is a smartphone, it is compact and has plenty of facilities for a good quality image. Its advantages include a Xenon flash, active lens, 30 fps VGA video camera, TV-Out with a quality sound, GPS, HSDPA and Feature Pack 2, which pleasantly decorates the user interface.

Nokia 6220 Classic is a Symbian phone that takes photography seriously. The Xenon flash, the active lens and the implementing of the best S60 edition interface represent the strengths in the sale. Because the price is reasonable, it is hard to compete with it (about 260 euro or 380 U.S. dollars). From the virtually point of view, no other device with similar qualities can exceed 6220 Classic’s offers. It has a weakness: the lack of WiFi.

The sales package has an unusual shape, because is wide and thin. Still, all the necessary fit in here: the TV-Out and USB cable, the charger, the handsfree, a 1GB card and the manuals. The phone's dimensions are 108x47x15 mm. Those are not impressive dimensions, but are good for a smartphone. This phone fits easily in the pocket, weighing just 90 grams, the only phone, which could beat it is Nokia 6120 Classic, which weighs 89 grams.

A positive part is that the materials used do not allow fingerprints to stay on the surface of the phone. The 900mAh Li-Ion battery should resist 250 hours in standby mode or three and a half hours in talk time. In reality, the battery resists for 2 days. If you use it only for calling, the battery can resist 4 days.

One thing you can rely on Nokia is the display, on which we enjoy a good picture quality and a good readability in the sunlight. We are pleased with the contrast and the strong brightness. In addition, the phone comes with an ambient light sensor.

With Nokia 6220 Classic, you will not have concerns in terms of sound quality. The phone offers an exceptional quality of the speaker and the sound is very clear during a call. At the vibrations chapter, the phone behaves OK, although it could be better than that. Like any Symbian, it has a built-in voice recognition system, which does a good job, being fully independent from the speaker. It also has an automatic message reader, which will read all your new messages, after you press and hold a little the left selection key. The Symbian on 6220 has an excellent address book, with unlimited virtual capacities. All the internal memory can theoretically be used to save the contacts, but do not believe that this will be necessary. Contacts can be ordered freely by name or surname, and can be searched by gradual typing. If the Log application is accessed, a detailed list of all the communications made in the last 30 days will appear, including messages, calls and data transfers. This period can be shortened as much as you consider necessary to save the internal memory of the phone.

The message editor does a good job, since this is a smartphone, it supports SMS, MMS, Email, the first ones with intuitive editor that has a counter of characters starting at 160 and that they show you in how many parts the message will be divided. The only negative part is the bad keyboard. Nokia 6220 Classic has an audio message editor that allows you to register or to use a previously recorded clip. The customer can download only titles or a full message. There is also support for attachments, signatures and almost everything you need for your phone to handle almost any requests from the user.

The music player is still a strong point of the applications in Nokia 6220 Classic. It supports MP3, AAC, eAAC + and WMA files and the playlists are managed without mistakes and the files are added by the simple touching of the Refresh Library option. The sorting of songs by artist, album, genre or composer is automatically and the search is done gradually. You can also use a card reader for music transfers via Bluetooth or download them directly to your PC. Nokia 6220 Classic has Bluetooth 2.0 with stereo A2DP support. The audio quality is a pleasant surprise, with one of the best response frequency that we have ever met. I recommend the Real Player because it has an accelerometer, which lets you view the videos vertically or horizontally. When viewing in full-screen mode, the virtual keys are hidden so they cannot ruin the video. The FM radio has a simple and intuitive aspect, being able to automatically store your favorite frequencies.

The gallery is not impressive, being a Feature Pack2, because it has no 3D view and no reasonable slideshow and all images can be viewed only in a horizontal position. You can zoom up to 8x maximum, but overall, switching between pictures and the zooming is fast enough, without pause moments between the images. Nokia 6220 Classic has a 5-megapixel camera with a maximum resolution of 2592x1944 pixels. It has auto focus, active lens cover, Xenon flash and additional light of AF assist. The only problem is the location of the camera flash, under the lens, which affects the picture’s clarity in low light, and some strange lines appear in the pictures. Another useful feature of the camera is Geotagging, which works with the videos already made. We are generally pleased with the quality of the photos made with this device, the color accuracy and the shadows positioning. For video recording, the camera has a VGA resolution of 30 fps and the quality is satisfactory. The videos can be saved in an MPEG4 format and have automatic or manual adjustment of white balance.

The GPS Navigator is a pleasant surprise, in terms of sensitivity. It works with Nokia Maps, one of the software applications, which offers the most detailed maps. Moreover, it is easy to use and it is free. In Nokia Maps, you can easily customize the travel plan. The high streets, the tunnels or the crossing over the railway can be avoided. The selection of a street can be made in short road or fast road mode. The application can be used for navigation without having a car, or you can simply close the GPS and use the electronic map.

The Web surfing is not overlooked, with an interface that can allow viewing Web pages, both vertically and horizontally at a reasonable speed, thanks to the 3G support with HSDPA.

Another thing that can be highlighted is the calendar that is very well structured, with many possibilities for customizing the private notes and can be synchronized either via Bluetooth or data cable.

Nokia 6220 Classic also contains a converter for various units of measure, a calculator with two modes: simple and scientific and two games that have raised smiles while testing the phone for you.

Summarizing the testing of the Nokia 6220 Classic, we can say that it stands out with a very good price, taking into consideration all its advantages, including the assets: image, interface, its high degree of personalization and Feature Pack 2. However, we cannot overlook the lack of the WiFi connection, which is a minus that Nokia 6220 Classic receives.
