Nokia 6822 Review

The Nokia 6822 is based on the previous Nokia 6820 model, and incorporates the same fold-out keyboard design. The display rotates 90° when the keyboard is fully opened. Like the Nokia 6820, the Nokia 6822 includes a range of functions including a camera with video recorder, Bluetooth wireless connectivity and high speed data transfer by EDGE. It's amazing how Nokia have managed to pack so much technology into a compact and lightweight phone!
At the same time, however, the Nokia 6822 retains many of the problems of the older model. The keyboard is not as easy to use as it looks, and is partly novelty rather than a full replacement for a real keyboard. The display, whilst upgraded to 65k colours is still very small and lags behind the competition considerably. The camera, again upgraded, is still poor compared with other phones at this price. And perhaps the worst feature of the Nokia 6822 is the shockingly small amount of memory, which really limits the capabilities of the phone.

- Full messaging keyboard plus conventional keypad and 5-way joystick
