With a downlink data speed of up to 118.4 kbps, downloading with the Nokia 6220 via EDGE is more than twice as fast as GPRS.

"The Nokia 6220 combines uncompromised performance with reliable, smart usability. Its impressive range of features provides mobile professionals with what it takes to stay connected while on the move. With an integrated camera, EDGE, presence-enhanced contacts, MMS and Chat, end-users can now manage both work and private life in a whole new way," said Kai Öistämö, Senior Vice President, Nokia Mobile Phones.

With the presence-enhanced contacts, users of the Nokia 6220 can conveniently share their availability, intentions and whereabouts with colleagues, family, friends and other contacts. For example, a business professional can change his current phone profile to 'Meeting' and advise his colleagues to reach him by SMS or MMS. Exchanging instant text messages is another interesting possibility with the presence-enhanced Chat function, where users of the Nokia 6220 can create their own private chats and invite others to participate, or even join public chats of their interest.

The Nokia 6220 also has a mobile email client that lets users manage their email quickly over EDGE, GPRS and HSCSD networks. In addition, the notes application allows users to type notes of up to 3000 characters.

With SyncML, personal data such as calendars and contact information can be consistent, accessible and up-to-date. Local synchronization of personal data can also be done via the Nokia PC Suite. The PC Suite enables users to synchronize phone information with a compatible PC, install software, configure phone settings, and make back-ups of phone files.
The new advanced wallet application in the Nokia 6220 allows easy, reliable and convenient service access and mobile payment via WAP.
