Flashy Entry Level Mobile

Nokia 3220 is a Series 40 phone with classic construction. Its closest relative is the 3200 model. It's full of functions and it differs from "manager's stars" mainly by absence of Bluetooth and infrared port. Users will appreciate support of EDGE technology for fast data transfer, integrated email client, mobile Internet browser or hardware modem.

The new Nokia 3220 design won't attract business people; it's designed for teenagers who would appreciate customizing possibilities by using paper covers, light effects, as well as the video recording digital camera. The phone is offered in five basic color variants. Two of them have a black base, other two have a white base and one has a red base.

Each variant differs by the color of the decorative border and the area around the display. Considering it's not a tiny phone, measuring 105 by 44 by 19 millimetres, at 86 grams it is incredibly light. The 3220's bulbous shape is attributed mostly to the translucent rubber grips that bulge out on its sides.

The side grips not only make the 3220 very comfortable to hold but they house coloured LEDs that light up when a call or message is received, in time with ring tones. Our test model flaunts a red and blue case and features green and red LEDs on the sides.
