the Nokia 6220 Classic is everybit as good as a N95/N96 excluding it dont have wi-fi

had a N95 & the N96 is not an upgrade, the 6220 is not a downgrade excluding the no wifi

i choose the 6220......add a 8GB memory card and yer done ! lol

and yes you can port your number out of Orange, ask customer (India DIS) service for a Port Authority Code, PAC for short & give it to your new network - 7 days later number transfers

I have had an N95 8G for just over 6 months and have now ditched it.
Battery life was better than quoted but not great. I know someone who always carries a spare battery.
The camera did not take pictures that were any better than my old SE with a 3MP camera.
It is slow to respond and can take an age to power up.
If you are using Thunderbird if can be a right pain to synchronise your stuff.
I suspect I was seduced by the shiny newness of it all when it arrived but I am going back to a simpler phone, that does all I want. Long battery life, takes reasonable pictures (which I use for work purposes) makes and receives calls and has good reception.

Off to flog the N95 now.

PS I was always a big Nokia fan but the N95 was their last chance for me. Tried a previous version of their Nseries phones and though that was rubbish. I should have learned my lesson I suppose.

they are getting better, the 6220 is a N in another shell......

Too late for me I fear.
Had Nokias for years and loved them but not any more
