Review: Nokia 6215i



The Good: The Nokia 6215i is a cute and compact flip phone with a VGA camera, a speaker phone, voice dialing, and a wireless Web browser. Its OLED display is also quite pleasing to the eye.  The design is also simple and sleek.  This attractive phone will also feel great in your hand and be very comfortable whenever you are talking on it.  You also have the ability to adjust the back light timer, the screen’s contrast, the font size of the numbers that appear when you dial, the display theme and the clock format.  A nice touch is that you can personalize this phone with a variety of wallpapers, colors, themes and message alert tones.  If you do not find anything already on the phone that you like, then you can quite easily download more.  However, the most important thing is that the call quality was stellar, with little to no difference when compared to a regular land line phone.

The Bad: While the alphanumeric keypad is well-spaced, it is a little too flush to the surface so each key sinks underneath the surface whenever you press it.  This makes it a little tricky to dial and navigate by feel alone.  The internal display is rather small as well, which will make menu navigation a lot harder than usual.  Its speaker phone is also not very good as you will have to speak loudly in order to be heard.  The camera does have a VGA camera and flash but the pictures that come from this camera appear to be both blurry and grainy.  You may also be disappointed to learn that this phone does not come with any games included, you will have to download these for yourself. 

The Bottom Line: The Nokia 6215i is a very nice, entry-level VGA camera phone.  This will work well for people who would like to have a phone that is both attractive and slender.  However, you should know that there are not a lot of frills with this phone either.
