  • Nice phone. I love it. Sound, camera and connectivity are great.

  • Is some one can reply about sound clarity of this phone and signal coverage.

  • Please Nokia-Microsoft, release a smarter versión. You can do it better.

  • worst mobile not living me to delete contacts in the sim and asking security code. not reading memory card.

  • looks like the 215 model but with a tougher shell..

  • try download mp3s from mp3yum.is

  • dont buy this stupid phone. u can't play music by album only

  • STUPID NOKIA PHONE it has gameloft games preinstalled and my son sent tons of sms to get some games ... sevral times .. I want to delete the games but I am not allowed

  • Does the things what a cell phone was planned bfore - call to someone. It's a phone, not a semi- or fullsmartphone with great camera or ability to use all the apps may b used to. As a backup phone, it's working just as real one can hope. If u buy this and feel that u have dropped back to 90's (if u were even born then...), u had too high hopes. Primary to this price phone is the last of the battery and talking time - it fills all xpectations.

  • I just bought this 222 for my old man. Since he only could make call and sms - slow typing - and hear music, so this phone is good for him. BUT this phone actually suck, for his low price, it's too expensive! - bad screen, need looking from 30cm to get no dark area screen - can't save multiple number on one contact - no memo like others said - fonts look back to 90 oldschool - no flash, didn't realize before bough The only good thing - beside long lasting battery - is this brings back memories, with still nokia logo.

  • Hey guys, what type of micro sd card can i use with this phone.

  • nokia 222 me urdu language h keya

  • This phone is great .., simple to use. Big screen is what I like. Perfect for my mom. What she needs is to make calls and receive calls !!!!

  • its one of my fvrt phone

  • and no any app for write your note or Memo.

  • Ya we can download the messenger the the store. But i am very sad of buying this stupid phone nokia 222.

  • cool

  • this phone wont play music ive transfered from my laptop via the micro sd card in the phone,the music is shown on the micro card,but the music file wont open,any one know why this wont work,cheers!!

  • Buying This phone is just a waste of money there is nthing to cant download any app and many basic and imp features are missing....

  • Agreed wid u frbd

  • I want to know that is it support multiple contacts mean to say in one can contact store more than two numbers * is it support nokia pc suit *is it sync contact by Bluetooth

  • I think you should not not buy this phone. Because you cant download any apps it is not whatsapp supported. I know because i have this phone Nokia 222. You dont buy this phone please

  • That default facebook is not a application that is facebook logo only.never open.

  • Cheap basic cell phone, but mind some serious disadvantages, e.g.: - you can't change the volume of the alarmclock! - facebook & group-me 'apps' don't work; - you can't make memos or notes, even your concept sms-messages 'disappear' when you receive a new message; - no free games, as Microsoft says on its website. Good basic phone with (very simple!) mp3 player & flashlight/torch and superb battery. Nothing more, nothing less!

  • Nokia 215 have 0.3 megapiksel camera but nokia 222 have 2 megapixel camera

  • nokia 430 is more better with minor high price and it also support whatsapp but if some one want long battery than nokia 222 rocks :-) ;-)

  • This phone is too low performance and bad screen . WhatsApp not working . this is the bad and poor handset of Nokia. Daaammm handset . don't waist u r money . any replay of Nokia admin.

  • I need a six month vacation twice a year...So i'm looking for a phone with long lasting battery.Should i buy this one?

  • No, It's not supporting what's app and any apps. I waste my money.

  • Ok so I have this 222 and the 215 and I will stick with 215 basically the 222 is horrible the gloss finish is disgusting and makes it look like a cheap plastic toy, it feels sticky and is a fingerprint magnet, the buttons are so noisy and cheap sounding I actually cannot stand it but yet love my 215

  • Microsoft is not eligible to manufacture mobile phone. Waste of money. Microsoft spoiling nokia name.

  • No picture zoom no horizontal video playback, no picture rotation, no volume key, no word suggestion while type message, very low volume on music n video, not able to access facebook from opera very old version 4.4. No java, no apps and games. We can call microsoft keypad phones as user enemy phones. Bullshit microsoft.

  • I want wtsup in nokia cheaper mobile ...nokia all mob r same no any diffrt features

  • alot of people here do not understand that... they all expecting all the basic nokia, older nokia phones can do whatsapp and fb... do they understand those phones only have small ram?? cant understand why microsoft only put 16mb ram on this... i think the 130 also have 16mb ram and alot cheaper... the 130 series alot better than the asha 210 or 225....been using those phones and they' all very slow in ui

  • I still use my samsung s5350 for downloads on 3G...it has only 100mb ram... I do not use android for downloading video clips or audio songs because the downloading data in case of android is more, I use my samsung 3g basic phone..it consumes less data.

  • Why it will hang...why LTE need 1gb storage...does all 4G dongle has 1Gb memory ??? answer

  • u understand this phone is basic phone rite?, if u want that kind of spec better go cheaper smartphone like android one it just 70$

  • u ask basic phone for LTE?? for what, this phone has less than 1gb memory if u use lte this phone will hang because lack internal storage

  • Id love one of these in 4G wonder why no 4g's yet??

  • Has it camera sound? Exp sound? Can I turn off it?

  • 2.2 inch at 240x320 pixels not good resolution compare to 2 inch w/d same pixel quantity

  • why to buy Nokia 222 ...??are there any special features....??there are other Nokia sets with same features.......

  • nice sweet n i like it....when release in indonesia

  • These phones sell by the shed loads your be surprised, perfect for people needing for calls and texts the battery life on these phones is monstrous means not having to charge every half day like these hi tec smartphones. I have one request though I would like to see one of these feature phones have wifi on them. Btw why are people saying this is Nokia it simply isn't its Microsoft

  • Agree with u John

  • If they are doing such a job for some PARTICULAR ones, but they are forgetting many of us because high level sets they rarely produced now.

  • A lot of people still want them in all countries, but 3G is faster why 2G need variant.

  • nokia making scrap now.

  • While cleaning Nokia's office, they found some cartons, full of Nokia 222. So they decided to sell this as a new model. That's all.

  • I think you need to know more about corporates. Microsoft can't take such decisions on Nokia. Perhaps, Nokia is clever. Keep a margin of $10 on each phone and sell in India and China where people still love Nokia and may not afford high end phones. If they sell 10 million phones there they make $100 million. It may sound bit odd, but that is how most of the ebay sellers make profit. Go with the volume!

  • Leave the other all things, But i never Like the Mini sim's mobile - I hate all those. Even if you want to give me its free, Still i no need.

  • This feature phone like this (Nokia222) is still important for everyday work, it is convenience by doing money transaction, long last battery , light weight, low cost ect. . .because nowsaday people use two or three phones . . I really wish Nokia / Microsoft produce feature phone with best camera too because many people focus on good Camera also when they buy mobile phone . . I think that there are lots of people prefere to use big screen mobile phones at the moment but for the secondary phone , it is no need to have the same screen size it can be smaller , thinner and lighter. Please provide choice for us :)

  • You fools....this is a strategic move by Microsoft. Think, why Microsoft dropped nokia tag from devices like 535, 640 and others which have developed originally under Nokia brand. Whereas handsets like 222 are originally manufactured by Microsoft but they are not using their name in it. And the reason is 2017, the year nokia will reenter the mobile market after the lease of using nokia as a brand name will expire for microsoft. Till that time microsoft is trying to put a impact on customers that nokia is a feature phone company. Coz it knows very well that Nokia would be its biggest threat and actually nokia was loved by ome and all during its regime so the return would be the most anticipated thing. Apple, Nokia and Samsung are originally the leaders of smart phone market. So any thing come from them after a hiatus will create a buzz...

  • XYZ Simple answer, they still sell... by the bucketload. There are still many people who do not like or want smartphones and or touchscreen phones.

  • Great simple to use phone for the basics.

  • Dont know whats the logic behind the making such CRAP by Nokia, i could not expect from Veteran Nokia like that, all modern basic needs deprived cell phone they are manufacturing consistently... Nokia was my fVRT brand in past but now Samsung..

  • nice words

  • Yep they say $35 when hits online $70

  • I wonder if they changed storage to SD card for text/mms problem 225 had ran out of room

  • Ugh,this is crap.The only thing I need is something like 2.4/2.6 inch screen with 240x320 resolution.It must be just with buttons.It MUST have wifi,I mean its 2015,all phones must have it.And the most important,symbian s60v3(9.3).Also 600mhz arm 11 with 3D acceleration powervr mbx or something with similar performance and 128mb ram.5MP camera with autofocus and flashlight.4/8gb integrated storage,with microsd up to 32gb.That would be a beast phone(like n95 8gb).

  • Do you know how many notes can be written into the organizer?

  • It is s30 phone, so it will probably have maximum capacity of 200 sms or so. Enough for approximately one hour of texting. MMS-es are stored separately. Easiest way to make space for newly received messages is to delete whole conversation and start again.

  • why not possible. some manufacturers manufacturing 3g android phones under 3500. onemore thing this phone is not just 34 dollars. This price is without local tax.

  • I wish they put 4g/3g and a router option... Would be great combo with an ipad mini

  • True. It's very common that people keep 2phones these days. I keep Nokia 1100 with Note 4. People stare at me.

  • Looks good. Reminds me of the good old days.

  • music

  • Thats the point....

  • Actually, it's still Nokia. Just like Microsoft owns mojang, doesn't make mine craft not moojang said anymore

  • will it support unlimited sms storage ?

  • This is not nokia it is microsoft

  • How is possible to say it has no java in the specs if in Microsoft website they say it comes with the possibility to download 1 free Gameloft game per month?

  • Great! Battery life is my main concern so will definitely buy this one! I need a phone to call not for entertainment.

  • People this phone is good for people who need a basic phone just for making calls and for people who need an extra long battery life. People in Africa have 2 phones. 1 is a smart phone and another is a basic phone like this. Sometimes they even have 2 smartphones and 1 basic phone. It's a good idea coz this phones helps just when your smartphone's battery is dead. The phone does the job and is good for basic use. Please dont complain saying that the phone does not have Whatsapp or Viber or Line. Get a Samsung or Apple if you want that. Cheers!!

  • who is gonna buy this...in this smartphone era..an era where now we can a buy smartphone with just 70$.

  • every phone on the market is great for making calls.

  • But i serves completely the purpose of a basic phone for those who prefer to make calls rather than downloading apps and other apps, which was not at all the purpose of a phone earlier.

  • U want 3g in a $34 phone!!!!!! Keep dreaming baby

  • This phone series has no support for java or symbian apps, so u cant dwnload any app or game...it has smthng called vxp in it..even the music player shows only the full song list, no support for sorting as albums

  • Yup great for making calls

  • Its another crap from Nokia. No java. Only for calling

  • :v 34$? i hope 20$

  • haha, how many SMS can be stored in this handset?? 50, 100 or 150? :) :) :)

  • Haha, this one has fm radio that most ppl want.

  • 37$

  • it's $37 (without taxes), it's pretty expensive for what it offers

  • Battery life???

  • - If u need Normal phone (just for calling & texting) go to samsung E1200 ,, read more:

  • 3g option could have been better

  • But at least its got a microSD storage expansion slot by 32gb. What would you store on it though??? :-P

  • price?

  • I am not interested in these hybrid Microsoft and Nokia phones any more. I bought a Nokia 215 for my mother, and it's not really a good phone. The backside of the phone gets scratched even when absolutely nothing can cause it! The navigation wheel is poor. The OS is really bad. I decided to not go Samsung route for cheap phones as I had poor experience with one of those, but this phone wasn't worth buying anyway. So I expect this upgraded 222 model will be more or less same. I wanted a pure Nokia, not some hybrid nonsense.

  • "12MB RAM" OMG what a spec beast!!!!!

  • this phone very similar with my nokia 215.. sms capacity is small, sms/call ringtone not louder.. and when i set volume ringtone to maximum 100%, after play games the volume always automatic back to 50%.. im tired if always changing volume again.. i hate my 215.. if u like keypad phone better spend more few money to buy s40 phone like nokia 208 or nokia 301.. both phone model same as nokia 215/222 also.. with 3G and java games..

  • It's a cheap feature phone ....if you want 4g,1080p screen,8cores,2gb ram ....go buy a smartphone...lol

  • what???please nokia,i want your phone 100% android... no java phone...very old

  • i am waiting for 2017 for nokia upcoming ....

  • i always love nokia.. nokia forever. stil using nokia 1100 . n it rocks... droped over 2000 time n still it functions

  • best phone ever.

  • lol yes flagship hahahh shame its 2G who even uses 2g now? most are 4G

  • I wish nokia would produce the one with tactile music button again...I really would like to have one right now..

  • I respect Nokia!!! 2017 smartphones are back!! Watch out Apple!!
