Nokia today announced the 6822, an update to its 6820 messaging phone. Upgraded features include a VGA camera, a 65,000-color display, and Java MIDP 2.0. Like the 6820, it features a unique flip-out keypad that opens to reveal a split QWERTY keyboard. Bluetooth, e-mail, and instant messaging are also included. The 6822 will be available later this quarter in Europe and the Americas.

Needed Bigger Improvements
This phone is good and I will buy any imporved version to the 6800 series as it becomes available. However, Nokia could have done much more:
- Go to a higher resolution 208x208 display
- Support attachments (likely an operators issue)
- Add quality CCD 1.3 mp camera
- Go to a series 60 platform
- Multimedia features (stereo sound, mp3, memory)
The 6822 would have been excellent 1 year ago or may be 6 months ago. Now it is a case of too little too late.
The keyboard would still be the major selling point but soon there will be top-notch blackberry phones on the market that would leave it in the dust. Then the question becomes why invest in last year's phone?

🙂 Well one reason would be that some people would prefer the phone where it will still be a phone... Albeit I would like the blackberry type better, but for the younger crowd that may not need the e-mail but just the keyboard for text it would be g...

something could've been better
why the RF and GPRS aren't same as 6230?
class 10 EDGE is a big plus when using as modem (while provider supports)
RS-MMC support
now the LCD and cam are same as 6230, but missing external memory and class 10 EDGE are not good

Much Needed Improvements
The Nokia 6800 was a great phone. I really looked forward to the Nokia 6820, in fact I actually bought it. (I haven't bought a phone in 6 years. Perks of job...) I was so dissapointed with that phone that I gave it to a friend of mine. If the improvements to the screen and the camera hold up, I may try this phone again. I'm still a little shocked that Nokia hasn't jumped on the 1.3MP camera bandwagon, especially with this release...
Wow! I used the 6820 for a while, and then bought the 6620. Two days ago my son's 3300 broke, and he started using my old 6820. He and I were just talking about what a great phone this is, except for the horrible display! The 6820 actually takes pr...
