Crave In an interesting and impressive move, the terrific Opera Mini Web browser comes pre-installed, making this a nippy browsing device, despite the lack of 3G or HSDPA. Our first liaison with Nokia's 5220 was back in April at a Nokia Comes With Music...

Nokia 6220 Classic: Old school name, new school features

Crave It does work, though, and we managed to download Opera Mini, which made surfing even more enjoyable than normal. The Nokia 6220 Classic is a straightforward candy-bar phone that sounds like another average handset from Nokia.
