Memory-wise, the phone only comes with 256MB of Flash as standard, but we bunged an 8GB memory card in holding plenty of music. That allowed us to set different ring tones for different people.

One area we don’t normally have a problem with is the build quality of Nokia’s devices. However, in the case of the 6220 we reviewed, the back refused to close properly half-way through our test. That left it raised with a gap and spoiled the handset’s simple good looks.

Honestly, if you’re not a Nokia fan there’s nothing new here that’s likely to win you over. You’re better off trying an N series phone if you want those kind of features. However, if you’re a Nokiaphile, this is an ideal device. It’s a sophisticated version of those handsets from days gone by and has plenty to keep up with today’s needs, without being too flashy.

VERDICT: 8/10
