Nokia 6820 Mobile Phone

Date Published: 6/4/08

The Nokia 6820 targets e-mail and text-messaging enthusiasts. What seems like a standard candy-bar phone can be flipped open, revealing a very sturdy and easy-to-use QWERTY keyboard. Call quality on the phone is excellent, while other features such as Bluetooth and an IR port (cable sold separately) are included. The major downside of the phone is the LCD screen of average quality (only 4,096 colors and 128x128 pixels), but the battery delivers a respectable 3 hours of talk time and about 12 days of standby.

The 6820 includes high-speed Internet access (using EDGE and GPRS), speakerphone, voice dialing, 500-contact telephone directory, and a serviceable digital camera for photos and video. Solid and reliable, the Nokia 6820 is an excellent phone for those keeping in touch through multiple mediums.

Pros: QWERTY keyboard, good call clarity
Cons: Average LCD

Warranty
1 year
