Product Description

The 6822 messaging device with full messaging keyboard combines popular voice features with enhanced messaging capabilities into one compact package to make mobile communication easy.

Amazon.com Product Description

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. The phone comes with a one year limited warranty.

What's in the Box
Nokia 6822 handset, wired headset, lithium-ion battery, travel charger, user's manual, and application software.

Good enough.......2007-01-12

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.

A very unsatisfied loyal 6800 user.......2006-09-30

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.

AWESOME PHONE.......2006-09-21

I have been true to nokia for the longest time there are a few reasons for that....... 1. user friendly phone book, (I dont have to have 3 entries for a person who has a cell, home and work phone.) 2. Great prices for their phones. 3. Great features for their phones (especially bluetooth and IR port). I started out with the 6800 and thought the flip open keyboard was awesome, then i upgrated to the nokia 6820. When the 6822 came out, I was psyched unfortunately the only carrier that had that phone was cincinnati bell. Soo, I made the mistake of buying a phone via ebay. I paid 250.00 for an used unlocked phone that came out of the UK. The features were awesome, a better camera phone, faster internet, a screensaver for the phone. The problem was that i kept on dropping calls left and right and then I had a problem with the IR port. I thought it was my carrier (cingular). I stopped by the Nokia store in Chicago and found the phone for $189.00. They have a limited supply and tell me they can't keep that phone in stock. They phone works great now, and I rarely drop calls. I Love this phone and wouldn't recommend any other phone!!! If you buy this phone make sure that it is a US sponsored phone because if not, you will not be able to use AIM or ICQ on that phone. Also you will have way better reception with that phone!! Good Luck and ENJOY!!!

Tiny and cheap, cheap, cheap.......2006-09-20

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 waited for this phone!.......2006-08-08

I bought my first Nokia 6822 back in 2004, and droped it in the bathm tub while cleaning :(

The Cingular Store was not carrying this phone when I went to get a new one, so I settled for some $25 Nokia until the new 6822 came out. As it turned out, the phone was available but Cingular did not carry it, or Best Buy!! I found it on amazon!

I love this phone. It allows you to type easier and that is the bottom line. Nokia also makes a great phone that sounds good and is user friendly. I always buy Nokia - they just make great quality phones.
