Encyclopedia
The Nokia 3220 is a GSM
, Nokia Series 40
mobile phone
. The Nokia 3220 was the first entry-level phone that offered full access to the Internet
, with an XHTML
browser and POP3/IMAP email client. The tri-band camera phone
uses GPRS and EDGE
for its internet connections.
The phone can be seen as an upgrade of the Nokia 3200
. Like the 3200, custom rear face plates can be created by the user. A stencil is available in the pack. While features such as infrared and a built-in FM radio are removed, new features such as rhythmic flashing lights (two on each side), wave messaging, voice dialing, themes, and a video recorder are added. With the addition of an optional face plate, when the phone is waved back and forth rapidly, a light message of text is produced in mid-air. An FM radio can be added on with the use of the phone's Pop-Port
. The 3220 features a 16-bit (65,536) color screen, which is an improvement over the 3200's 12-bit (4096) color screen. The phone also has more internal memory than the 3200. The CIF camera is also upgraded to 0.3 megapixelsVGA (640x480 resolution
, for photos), and features video recording (128x96) capability.
The phone has a built-in browser which seems to be very slow (in data processing) to many. It can download files of any format but cannot open SIS, SVG, WAV, MP3, MP4 etc. files. It downloads many files which are Copyright Protected. These files cannot be sent via MMS. This phone supports MMS under 100 kilobytes. The java games or applications must be under 120 kb or the phone cannot run them. It has a memory shortage and often causes Java applications to stop for the sake of "Out of Memory" problem.
