These are all good things, however the phone is a disappointment. We were hoping that 128x128 pixel screens would be a thing of the past, especially on this type of device. In our view the 6822's display is simply too small for messaging use. Take the rival Siemens SK65, for example - that has a 132x176 display. We think that this phone should be at least 128x160 pixels or larger, but Nokia seem to be stuck in the past here. After all, this is just a warmed over handset from late 2003.. and it's now 2005.
Another serious gripe is the camera. The Nokia 6822 is aimed primarily at businesses, and most businesses simply do not want cameras on their mobile phones. Siemens understood this with the SK65, and RIM doesn't fit cameras to its Blackberry devices either (such at the Blackberry 7100t). Heck, even Nokia dropped the camera from the Nokia 9300 to the great relief of many. (Edited: the VGA resolution camera is, however, an improvement over the old one in the 6820)
So, despite the good keyboard and connectivity, the Nokia 6822 still doesn't look that good compared to its rivals, but it's not a bad phone exactly. Battery life is up to 8 hours and the phone still comes in at 100 grams despite the QWERTY keyboard, which is impressive.
One interesting thing to note is the model number - this isn't called the Nokia 6830, which according to rumour is a much more interesting messaging device, possibly with 3G support and a much better display.
