This update to the wildly popular Nokia 6820 ups the ante with a
more vibrant screen, an improved camera and sleek new colors.
Nokia was smart not to change much else with the 6822; the same
innovative fold-out QWERTY keyboard is here, plus support for
EDGE high speed data, Bluetooth, and a speakerphone.
Design
At first, the 6822 looks like a mild-mannered candybar phone.
Looks can be deceiving, though. Flip the phone open and you're
presented with a full QWERTY keyboard. The 128 x 128 display,
which features support for 65,000 colors, automatically rotates
for horizontal viewing -- making it easy to type emails and text
messages. An internal antenna means there's nothing to snag in
your pocket. When the phone is in the closed position, a five-way
center button above the handset's dial pad controls most of the
phone's functions. Meanwhile, a USB-compatible port for data
synchronization and wireless modem functionality is provided on
the bottom of the unit. The phone's VGA (640 x 480) camera unit
is located on the rear of the device.
Calling Features
The 6822's address book can store multiple phone numbers, as
well as physical and email addresses. Meanwhile, the phone's
built-in speakerphone makes it easy to talk without having the
phone to your ear. Polyphonic ringtones are included, as is a
vibrating alert. Ringer IDs let you assign specific ringtones to
particular callers, while picture ID technology lets you
similarly assign images or pictures to callers. Name-based voice
re dialing lets you dial numbers with the sound of your
voice. Lastly, the phone's Bluetooth connectivity means that your
favorite Bluetooth headset is fully compatible.
Messaging, Internet, and Tools
The 6822's QWERTY keyboard makes it a natural mobile messaging
and email companion. With support for the MMS (multimedia
messaging service), the phone can send picture, video and text
messages. When coupled with the 6822's camera, MMS opens up great
rtunities for robust messaging. Instant messaging is also
supported, and the phone ships with a built-in email client that
supports POP3 and I protocols, as well as BlackBerry push
email services.
Getting on the Internet is easy with the 6822, too. It supports
the GPRS data protocol, as well as the new, high-speed EDGE
wireless data service. When used with a carrier data plan and the
phone's USB or Bluetooth data capability, the phone can be used
as a wireless modem for laptops and PDAs. There's also a built-in
web browser for downloads and mobile web browsing. T9 text entry,
a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and
text on handsets, is built into the unit-- a plus for mobile
email and text messaging users.
The 6822 supports PC synchronization standards via USB or
Bluetooth, which means you can manage and synchronize contacts,
and other data with your PC. Nokia's PC Suite
application makes this process a breeze. A number of handy
software tools are bundled with the 6822 including a voice memo
recorder, a calculator, a , and an alarm clock.
Imaging and Entertainment
The 6822 is designed for flexible mobile fun. The built-in VGA
camera -- which has a night mode for better s in dimly-lit
situations -- captures stills and video clips to the phone's
internal memory. Plus, picture effects and custom screensavers,
as well as backgrounds and themes, can be set up to fit your
personality. And don't forget that the 6822 is a powerful gaming
companion with support for Java games.
