Product Description The Nokia 6822 features an enhanced display and camera. Offers a flip-out QWERTY keryboard, Bluetooth™ connectivity, EDGE, speakerphone, and push email. .com 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 recognition 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 opportunities for robust messaging. Instant messaging is also supported, and the phone ships with a built-in email client that supports POP3 and IMAP 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, calendar 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 calendar, 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 shots 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.Vital Statistics The Nokia 6822 weighs 3.53 ounces and measures 4.18 x 1.81 x 0.85 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 8 hours of digital talk time, and up to 336 hours of digital standby time. It runs on the GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850/1800/1900 frequencies.

Tiny and cheap, cheap, cheap
Where do I begin? If you are over the age of five, you will have a hard time using the keyboard. The phone overall, is tiny. It's primarily made of a cheap, hollow plastic. I would look at this in person before purchasing

I Wish I Still Used This Phone ;(
Honestly, I use an iPhone nowadays. However, before I had the almighty iPhone, the Nokia 6822 was the lord and sovereign. I fondly recall flipping the keypad open to send the world's quickest text and getting audible gasps and stares. This phone is sleek, useful, and still a cell phone. The Unlocked version served me well during my voyages to Spain and Turkey, and assimilated easily (though for a price)to consequent stops throughout Europe. I wish I still used this phone and I truly miss being able to text quicker than I could form words.

A very unsatisfied loyal 6800 user
I've been holding on to my Nokia 6800 phone because (1) I loved it (2) the AT&T Wireless plan was much cheaper than any available from Cingular. BUT, I started using more minutes and the overages were killing me, so I had to upgrade. Thinking that I NEEDED the foldout keyboard, I got a freebie Nokia from Cingular and bought the 6822 from Amazon and swapped SIM cards.I was so disappointed!The phone is much smaller than the 6800, which at first I thought was good, but they also scaled the screen down to tiny! I could barely fit internet content on the screen that worked well on the 6800.I was disappointed that you couldn't have a custom ring for each contact, you could only assign contacts into 5 different groups with a custom ring for the whole group. (This was a shortcoming of the 6800.)For 6800 users: On the flip-out keyboard, they cut the spacebars to half the size of the 6800 and put the green and red buttons (call & cancel, etc.) in place of the lost half. I found myself accidently hitting the red button and losing all my typing.There was no ability to run Yahoo's Messenger or Mail program over Java like many newer phones (instead of doing it with the browser).There was no ability to do streaming video.This might be a user problem, but I couldn't find a way to display the time on the "home screen," which is very important to me.I found the reception to be lacking, also.In summary, I returned the phone to Amazon and swapped my freebie Nokia at the Cingular store for a RAZR. If you need to upgrade your 6800 and you care about more than phone calls, either try the new E70 or check out Motorola's phones.

Good enough
I, like many of the other reviewers, upgraded from the Nokia 6800 phone. With that said, this phone is great for taking quick notes, grocery lists, synchronizing with calendar reminders from MS Outlook, etc. The reception from Nokia phones is excellent too. Nokias tend to interfere with other electronic devices (stereos, radios, etc) more but I assume that's due to the stronger signal output.I would have given the phone 5 stars be it not for the cheap feeling plastic case. The Nokia 6800 was much larger and heavier than the 6822 but it did have a solid plastic case.

Perfect phone, but don't order from nokiausa
I've had the 6820 from back in the days of AT&T Wireless and absolutely loved it: QWERTY keyboard that is exceptionally easy to use, Bluetooth, GSM/works in europe, great battery life, and it's compact and secure.I mention "secure" in the sense that the settings stay where you lock them. I've had so many phones that change ring volume settings, turn themselves off, unlock themselves or even call people when the phone is in my front pocket. This phone is small enough to carry in my pocket (instead of the lame hip-holsters)and my pants don't end up calling my friends or colleagues.After some time, the 6820 inevitably broke, and by then it was off the market. Oddly, it was the ringer that broke--the flip mechanism is quite robust.But then I was stuck without a phone. I sure didn't want a dingleberry, or a Treo. I would always joke at those folks by holding a notebook up to my ear and saying "Hello?" I want a phone, not a small laptop that can read .xls files. But the choices were slim.I really wanted QWERTY because using SMS can be really convenient and I can't stand using T9. And I needed bluetooth for the car, and GSM for europe.My only choice was to try that new Samsung SGH-D307 with the flip out keyboard. I was shocked how poor that is. The menu system is so dis-integrated that as one review puts it "you have to actively ignore what the buttons say, and use buttons that indicate things you DON'T want to do." Talk about cognitive dissonance. Oh, and the QWERTY doesn't work for anything other than SMS. So you can't even use it for entering addresses. QWERTY is supposed to let you avoid T9 predictive text, but the Samsung is so ill-developed, QWERTY only works for SMS and IM. Uugh.There was literally no decent solution on the market until the 6822 was released. The only downside to the origial 6820 was its mediocre camera and screen resolution, both of which are addressed in the 6822.Just don't order through nokiausa--it's customer service is so infuriatingly poorly run that you'll pop a few blood vessels. My order for this in-stock product languished for 10 days. Yes, I even upgraded to FedEx next-day, but nokia had no problem with my order being in the "not yet processed" state. Hmmm? So I call in several times find out about the delay and they would say that the order was not authorized because "the address information was wrong." I'm pretty sure I know my own address, and having my order number, I could see I had not made a typo.So I called AMEX and they (of course) confirmed my billing address, but moreover said they hadn't declined my card due to AVS mismatch. Hmmm. Did nokia even try to process my order? I doubt it. I even had a nokiausa supervisor hang up on me when I asked her name for reference.So after many calls and several hours of my time, I couldn't get to the root of the problem. Customer service couldn't help because the problem was allegedly in billing, but yet they wouldn't allow me to talk to billing. "That's not an option." the supervisors would tell me. They would assure me that their billing department would call me, but that never happened. I could never find out what billing was saying to AMEX. But again, according to AMEX, they never declined my card so either nokiausa billing department was lying about an AVS problem with my order, or they are so broken they were submitting someone else's information. In any case, try as I might, the 'problem' couldn't be identified, much less solved, so I had no choice but to give up. What a huge waste of time.Bottom line: the 6822 is a fabulously small QWERTY, bluetooth, multimedia camera, GSM phone with no extraneous features or extra size. I heartily recommend buying it. The Finns know how to build a great phone. They're just not as successful as running a US order and customer service center that you can count on.
