Nokia 6822
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. 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. 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. 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.
