The
Nokia 6822 is based on the previous 6820
model, and incorporates the same fold-out keyboard design. The display
rotates 90° when the keyboard is fully opened. Like the 6820,
the 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 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 6822 is the shockingly
small amount of memory, which really limits the capabilities of
the phone.
Features
of the Nokia 6822 include:
Full messaging keyboard plus conventional keypad
and 5-way joystick
VGA camera (640 x 480 pixels) with night mode
Video recorder
Display: 65,536 colours, 128 x 128 pixels
Integrated loudspeaker
Voice dialing, voice commands, voice recorder,
conference call capability for up to 6 participants
Speed dialing
Messaging: SMS, MMS, Instant
Messaging, email (SMTP, POP3 and IMAP4)

I use this fone on O2 and it is wicked. It takes the nocks and has

are not sausage like. Could do with some more memory but with doing

I love this phone. After getting a fancy touch screen phone I have
returned to the 6822. The fold out keyboard is kinda cool, you can
text, get in the web and check email, the battery life last forever,
its touch and has all the apps like alarm clock, timer's, games.
If you like to text, talk on the phone, and check your email, this
is a great phone. It's not the iphone, but a realiable phone to
talk, text, and check email. Rating:

After getting a new E71 and finding many common features I took
for granted no longer available, I have returned to my 6822. The
keyboard is perfect for text and yet normal one-handed operation
is still possible whilst folded closed (unlike the E71). The only
real disadvantage is the silver keyboard which has poor contrast
indoors when the blue backlighting is active. If Nokia ever makes
another non-Symbian 6800 series phone with black keys, I will be
first in line to buy it. Rating:

I use many smartphones in my work. However, I always carry a Nokia
as a back-up or when I need a no-frills business only phone with
me. My 6822 fills this gap. It is easy to simply dial-out & answer
simple text communication quickly and effectively. It is easy to
see that it cannot compete in the 'features' or 'fad of the moment',
however it accomplishes the primary tasks of telephone and text-messenger
better that all the phones I have used, (such as Palm 600, Blackberry
8830 & HTC Wing). And, I will add, it does these tasks faster and
in a truly user friendly manner. I have owned the 6800 as well,
but I was happy to get bluetooth & a camera in this model. Essentally,
a well designed phone with adequate features. For someone who needs
a basic phone, this is an outstanding one! Rating:

work! 2) Not one of NOKIA's polynoic ringtones are good 3) The screen

if the screen was bigger it would have been a nicer phone 7) I heard
that the cell phone gets dirty easily and sadly there is no cover
(plastic or rubber case) for this cell phone yet 8) The warranty
is only ONE YEAR 9) It would be nicer if they gave the customers
more choice of colors such as for ladies (PINK) or for men (BLACK

It seems to me that those who hate this phone (and isn't hate a
tad over the top - it's only a mobe), are mostly those who didn't
do their homework first, or who want it to be something it didn't
pretend to be in the first place. Shrieking and ranting is NOT constructive
criticism, and is no help to anyone. Let's face it, a phone is a
communication device - the fact that it has a poor camera or video
isn't really relevant - you want a camera, BUY a camera! As for
the much maligned poor memory, there's just no excuse for not knowing
this before purchase but, of course, those who applied a little
thought to the problem found a work-around, rather than just whining
about it. It seems, from these reviews, that those who are happy
are those who knew what they were getting into, bought it because
the major features it offered were the most useful ones for them,
i.e., those actually involved in communication - keyboard, Bluetooth
- not extraneous stuff like sucky ringtones and cameras. In short,
they bought it because they wanted a functional phone, not flashy
a toy. Which, of course, is why they are happy - they bought it
for what it actually IS. Rating:

I upgraded to this from the 6820 and wish the newer one had a few
of the older model's characteristics. The keyboard is the most obvious
change as it's smaller than its' predecessor and if you chew your
nails you're going to find it more difficult to use than the older
phone's more solid and larger keyboard.Having said this I am now
used to it and find it ok to type with - though not as good as the
older model. The ringtones' volume was another bad point. The older
model was loud enough to hear in the car or any other noisy envoirenment.
Not the new one! I found that the way round this was to record your
own ringtone using the voicerecorder facility as the recordings
are louder than the polyphonic ringtones. The screen is ok. Better
than the older phone but not as fancy as some other makes. I was
dissapointed that it had no radio though as the quality of signal
on the old one was great and I'd use it often. Also a pity that
the phone only uses poly tones. MP3 would be nice! Though the memory
is small, if you delete all the preloaded tones/themes etc (mostly
naff) there's enough space for about 20 photos and 12 large recordings,
which I find is enough if I could get the PC software to work to
synchronise the PC with the phone. I've tried and tried to get it
to work using the DKU cable thing (£38!) but to no avail. I'll have
to get a pc with bluetooth! The phone looks nicer than the old one
and the camera on mine is really good - better than other makes
I've seen in action!The calender is also a godsend as it reminds

mean I am 13 and I haven't broken it yet so that proves it! This
is such a good-looking phone though, all my mates are like 'whoa
thats the computer phone that sends emails' and all that jazz, so
I love it! I don't know what the rest of you do but I can access
hotmail and msn on this so thats great!!! Well for me anyway. Other
points.... Battery life good, camera quality good enough, same with
video, and by the way to the IDIOT that wrote 'the nokia 6230i has
1 hour of vid recording, IT DON'T!!! -retard. I just couldn't resist
submitting this when I saw it cos most people don't know how good
the phone is! Anyway that was a long one, but thanks for reading!
If I knew you then I'd give ya my number cos I trust so much in
what I've just said that I reckon I'm 100% right! A MUST for all
TEXT ADDICTS! -like me. ~~Steelie~~ p.s. Samsung D500's SUCK! Rating:

A great phone for business without buying a enormous monster. Dont
care about ringtones, and if you do you are sad. Dont care about
the camera, I have one of these already. What I could never do without
now is the full keyboard; its a bit fiddly but for the size of the
phone it is pretty bloody good. If you want a toy go elsewhere. Rating:

Good phone, better than its predessor,6820 which I used for about
a year, or more. The improvments on Screen Resulation and Camera
is not that good, still a little screen. (for more see my review
for Nokia6820) As I said, I used 6820 a lot, I can type very (VERY!)
quickly usuing its full qwerty keyboard, without any need to look
at the keyboard, my thumbs are too wide! I said this,because I saw
some post which are about the keyboard and said that it is not that
easy and ... , but in my personal exp, it was superb... Rating:

Excellent phone. I don't need all the bells and whistles. Camera
is marginal, don't use it at all. Love the qwerty keyboard a lot
with text messages. Display could be a tad larger, but it'll manage.

The phone is very nice in general, and the basics work. However,
the e-mail has a couple of quite annoying problems. See http://pilpi.net/journal/item-926.php

Over the last years I have been a heavy user of the Nokia Communicator,
9110 and 9210 (I had 2 of those). The communicator is big and heavy,
and has no vibraring (a real pain). And a communicator is too expensive.
Repairs too. Therefore I chose for this 6822 (brand new). - Contacts,
standard Nokia 60-series interface. Not as a communicator, but sufficient.
Enough telephone/email per contact. - Bluetooth connectivity with
Outlook, excellent!. - View files/Editor, good enough. - Phone part,
including handsfree. Excellent. - Querty keyboard. It is smaller,
but therefore this keyboard has background light (the communicator
not). So in the dark it is much easier. - Screen, it is smaller
then the communicator. I miss the INCREASE button for bigger fonts,
so I use my glasses. But it is sharp enough. - Camera, I don't care.
MP3, I don't care either. - the multi-purpose joystick is great.
Endresult: the 6822 is not a communicator, but for business-purposes,
where you are tired of the Brick-Communicator, and functionality
that is too much, and triple the price, this 6822 is more then sufficient.
I hope the durability is good enough (at least for 1 or 2 years).
For Nokia: next time make a phone, bit bigger, bit bigger screen,
no camera or so, but with a big memory (a 256mb SD-card). That is
nice for Business-people. Rating:

Liked the idea of the flip out "QUERTY" keyboard for sending texts

and not easy to "walk and text" at the same time. Think twice about

I have latest Nokia 6822 for two weeks - first good impression.
Not so big functionality as my prev smartphone Siemens SX1, but
good to use together with Pocket PC.Better screen and camera, than
6820, a little bit different Menu,good communications and connectivity.
Design is the same like 6820 -but with dif colors- looks worth in
comparision with latest phones.But I can recommend this model for
bis users - it's small, lot of latest com possibilities and good
brand. The main advantage - its works good any time! Rating:
