At the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Nokia introduced the Nokia 6220 classic, a full-featured device that combines a 5 megapixel camera with A-GPS functionality, to give new meaning to the phrase "to share". High quality images and videos can be snapped, tagged, edited and shared online, phone-to-phone, or even viewed on television.

The highlight of the Nokia 6220 classic is its 5 megapixel

camera with Xenon flash and Carl Zeiss optics, on par with many single purpose digital cameras on the market today. With its high-speed HSDPA connection, updating blogs or uploading photos and videos to favorite sharing sites, like Share on Ovi or Flickr, can be done right from the Nokia 6220 classic.

A-GPS functionality allows photos to be 'geotagged' making them easier to search and share. Images can also be viewed on a television screen with the integrated TV-out feature, sent from phone to phone via wireless Bluetooth connection, or viewed in full color on the phone's large 2.2 inch display.

The Nokia 6220 classic comes loaded with the new Nokia Maps 2.0 application, which helps consumers find the best routes or explore any city, for new restaurants, hotels, tourist attractions and other points of interest.

The pre-loaded WidSets service brings web content directly to the device via mini-applications called widgets, providing quick and easy access to news updates, games and web communities. As a full-featured converged device, the Nokia 6220 classic also includes Internet browser, email, music player, FM radio with RDS and up to 8 GB of memory.

In addition to its imaging capabilities, the Nokia 6220 classic enables Adaptive Multi Rate - Wideband speech coding technology, giving a more natural sound to human voice in phone calls. It helps when having a conversation in a noisy environment, such as in traffic or in a public place.

The Nokia 6220 classic is expected to start shipping in the 3rd quarter of 2008 in selected markets, with an estimated retail price of 325 euro, before taxes and subsidies.
