Title: News of Nokia 6220 Classic Post by: mobaholic on July 29, 2008, 09:58:57 AM News is breaking of Nokia's 6220 Classic candybar phone. There is a review of it shown here (http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2008/07/28/review_nokia_6220_classic/). "It may look like an ordinary phone on the outside, but under the skin the 6220 Classic is anything but that. Nokia has crammed in much of the high-end features usually reserved for its Nseries smartphones. A 5-megapixel camera, featuring Carl Zeiss optics and a Xenon flash, sits on the back panel, while inside there’s A-GPS navigation technology for location finding and step-by-step satellite navigation. And like its latest Nseries stablemates, the 6220 classic runs on the Symbian v9.3 smartphone operating system, using Nokia’s S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 2 user interface. High-speed data connectivity is provided by HSDPA speed 3G (with downloads at up to 3.6Mb/s), although one unfortunate absentee from the N82-alike spec sheet is Wi-Fi. Nokia has added software to facilitate online content sharing, though you have to use slower mobile network uplink connections rather than faster, cheaper Wi-Fi for uploading images and video. There are options for sending imaging content to supported sites including Flkr, Vox and Nokia’s Ovi service. Nokia has included its S60 music and video player suite, including RealPlayer multimedia player software, support for the Nokia Music Store downloadable music service, plus a full web browser". There are many further pages to read for those interested. ;) Title: Re: News of Nokia 6220 Classic Post by: mobaholic on August 06, 2008, 09:35:29 AM Nokia launches 6220 flagship navigation device First Nokia device to come pre-loaded with Nokia Maps 2.0... Nokia has launched the 6220, the first of its devices which comes pre-loaded with new Nokia Maps 2.0. A broad advertising campaign across TV, radio, and print went live last week, aiming to establish Nokia as a navigation brand. The 6220 includes a GPS location finder and built-in compass, as well as multimedia city guides with information on new restaurants, hotels, tourist attractions and points of interest. It follows the release of the 3G iPhone, which comes loaded with GPS technology. New figures from digital world research company comScore show that the number of people using mobile maps in the UK has risen by 72% over the past year from 1.2 million in May 2007 to 2.1 million in May this year. The percentage of mobile subscribers for mapping in the UK now stands at 4.5%. See:- here (http://www.mobiletoday.co.uk/Nokia_launches_6220_flagship_navigation_device.html). |
