Nokia 6212 classic - User Reviews

  • Which might explain why they say the Sony Ericsson J132 was released in January 2009 but it was released in August 2008. Also, the Samsung Galaxy S II was released in May 2011 but they say it's April 2011. Just to name a few.

  • C'mon, this is GSMArena's mistake. This was actually released in August 2008... not April 2009, Nokia aren't stupid.

  • Wow, Nokia. Releasing this phone a year after it was announced. *slowly claps*

  • IT's good

  • does this type of phone supports whats app.

  • Front camera is for video calling. I have experienced for few days. I think its works only in 3G network.

  • Why i can't use fron camera. Tell me how i use front camera

  • I am using this model of NOKIA for last 3 years and it 's very Good. It came to me Free too, upon making a few NFC Trasactions . But now, the battery life is depleting fast . Where do i get Ba for this model, i want to know ....

  • Yes it is NFC, it was one of the first NFC phones available, it does not however use the Symbian smartphone OS.

  • I am using this phone from more than 2 years. My experience are 1. Wonderful Camera 2. Great 3G modem for Internet access with high speed with computer 3. Very good audio player 4. Wonderful basic phone with all required futures 5. Very small and easy to handle - jeans pockets 6. Very good body - U can drop it as many times U want to 7. Good Internet access in phone with multiple applications like Opera, Gtalk, Newshunt, etc 8. NFC rocked during CITI Bank's Credit Card Tests for 6 months. First time test of NFC for Transactions In India..

  • Is this NFC like the one in Symbian Belle phones and Nokia C7?

  • front camera is not for capture the image front camera used for video calling (3g)

  • what is so special about this phone???

  • Hi i wanted to know, how to use the front camera as i have tried for many times but im not able to find out could you please help me out of this. And the set is awesome to use.

  • NFC(near field communication) is suppose to be a replacement for debit/credit cards. CITI Bank had introduced "Tap & Pay" service, which was launched in Bangalore as a pilot. How it works: instead of swiping a card in the machine, here you will have to show/tap your phone(after the NFC is activated) to make the transaction. It is currently not popular in India.. during the tap and pay offer it available across 200+ stores in bangalore.. I am not aware of the current status...

  • how can we use nfc in this mobile for banking purpuses(at atm;payment etc:)? is this phone available at kerala? how the banking is proceeded ?

  • what are the model NOKIA will support NFC? How many models available in Hyderabad,AP? and Dealers contact details?

  • Only plus point is features.very bad and allmost nil FM radio reception, low volume, interupted audio and video playa back from memory card,sent for repairs four times returned without any improvement and fifth time the instrument was replaced which is having more defects and the instrument has become unusable.

  • Hi I am using this phone since last 8mnts, its not bad phone as compare to similar rage of the same sets... However radio is reaaly bad, it is difficult to listen the radio even down the radio tower:-), can any one tell me is there any software which I can install in this phone to get the "ONCALL TIMWR"..this phone will not show the time while call is running, I can say this is the biggest drawback in this set.

  • I am looking to buy Nokia 6212 Classic with NFC. Will pay US$100 ea. If anyone wishes to sell me their phone, please contact me [email protected].

  • Hi, how to enable CIF camera in nokia 6212 classic. pls help me. Thanks

  • hi i am using 6212 its an light weight phone nd application speed is awesome but only problem is "RADIO" i doesnt get tuned properly at all.. :( apart frm this i loved this set

  • The difference in this phone is NFC. Understand that NFC is there in very few phones and if you have the app for it it cannot be replaced. If not you are better off looking for something else

  • guys i think outlook of NK3310 is better than this NK6212 ..... hehe

  • how much this phone in malaysia??

  • "PLEASE DO NOT BUY NOKIA" I am a nokia user from iran as you know nokia has sold special devises to my countries government to spy our conversations This is what they say: Nokia, Siemens Help Iran Spy on Internet Users So I won't buy nokia again, Our government are killing us because we want freedom, we want to breathe freely and think, but as you know they don't let us to think, to speak freely and, they have killed a lot of oppositions, neda,sohrab,ali &�.. I beg from nokia users all over the world please don't buy nokia Please, please help us by selling your nokia phones and buy another brand, think that this is your own problem, what will you do? Please help us. Thank a lot.

  • No dont compare 5320 wit any phone. It's final ART BY NOKIA. It supports 3.6Mbps broadband connectivity......

  • And you are an a**hole. What about making also your lunch? Phones are for calling and messaging, any additional feature are welcome, but not essential.

  • Hello!! there is no office suite installed in this mobile. so you cant open any pdf, doc, sheet files

  • no u cant open. 5320 have this features and others like n-gage gameing, xpress music, 3g, S-60 addition that u can install various software ( .sis & .jar)

  • plz any body can tel me that it(6212c)can open pdf and office files??? answer mw as soon as

  • The reason this is more pricier than 3120c is because it comes with NFC chip that allows it to be used as a mobile wallet. It can be used as substitute for Visa Wave cards and in countries like where I come from (Malaysia) it can also be used to pay tolls on the highway electronically.

  • man this fone is very best 4 ung gnration.all peoples r not required 4 symbian phone like n series these models r 4 perfect man & busines.i think this phone have 2 days charging time...4 any help plez mail us (universalsofts@yahoo,gmail,hotmail.com)

  • exactly like 3120c but much more expensive

  • Maxis is introducing NFC svc which is work with this phone..

  • tis phone look like nokia6220c haha but tis phone cannot be better than nokia 6220c never!

  • Hi Nivla, Have you developed any NFC application on Nokia 3220/6131 and 6212. I will appreciate if you can share your experience. BR MKDani

  • how much is this?

  • nice, but i dont like it...

  • Unable to compare to 6233

  • too bad.

  • I don't like it

  • your set is very koga, yabargoo!

  • it does not support symbian software because it is NOT a symbian phone ok? read the specs first - it's an S40 phone - there are a lot of people who don't need or want a symbian phone so don't expect every nokia phone to be a symbian phone....

  • I recommend K810i instead of this stupid mobile, both cost same

  • it doesnot support symbian software.

  • is 6212 has a dowlodable software.

  • Wow, more features then even a N95...

  • Can anyone plz tell me whether this phone has symbian OS or not?

  • is the music quality gud?????

  • Nokia; Stop copying horrible Sony Ericsson and Motorola design! PLEASE MAKE MORE PHONES LIKE: 6280, 6133, 6500 Slider (Mature Male phones, not some faggot ones!)

  • this phone is amazin. small, light, the camera is good and the video is good quality 2. all round a great handset

  • I want to know about organizer

  • 3 inch? This is a classic phone, not even symbian, 2 inch is not bad for an s40 phone...

  • screen is to SMALL!!! please build ur phone with screen size min 3 inch

  • No it is not the 1st phone with NFC. My old Nokia 6131 NFC can do it too =D

  • I think this will be the first phone using the NFC technology (near-field communication). Great!

  • Thats what everyone does with SE even though most of these new phones we see are mid-range, EG SE T700. Can we stop will Nokia Rulz SE sucks, Samsung Hell stuff? Honestly my opinion is that nokia is following the same path as SE, and Motorola, the whole 6000 range recently is the same look in differnet forms. Hopefully this shouldnt cost much.

  • I agree the screen is too small, but minimum 3 inches? you need a new tv or new brain. you dont put such a large screen in most phones (industry average for LARGE is about 3 inches - not the NORM!) and especially not in a low class phone!

  • Interesting specs you got there for a phone. Are you sure you want a phone with all of those specs? I think if you wait for another couple of years you might see some part of your wishes coming true. Though don't expect it will be cheap! Oh and btw, please carry a charger with you everywhere you go!

  • - Near Field Communication (read/write/sharing) - Nokia Xpress Audio messaging coolness factors for this phone.. im curious about how this works c",

  • screen is to SMALL!!! please build ur phone with screen size min 3 inch

  • lolz at ridiculous screen size

  • only 2" screen size? That's not enough nokia! Give us like at least 10"!

  • Hi. you must look to first u actual requrment. if u are music lover and battery life . u must get SE W serioes... photo qulity,,K810,

  • the cover not fit very well from manufcture it mmake sound and other feature is good

  • Of course the n73 me. There could not grow any question here. The n73 is much more batter than this one. Good luck

  • what's the difference between this and 6120 classic?

  • i want a good phone to replace my nokia 6233 and i want to decide between nokia 6212 and nokia N 73me, can any help me to make good choice, i need a a phone sd stereo sound,good documentviewer and a lot more pls help, [email protected]

  • Pentium Processor?

  • Mobile should have good quality camera with optical zoom & flash, hi fi 3d stereo sound(dolby surround), wi fi connection, tv receiver , gps , 32 gb memory , 256 mb ram, 3d graphics accelerator, and lots of other features.

  • horrible deign!!!!!!!!!keypad sucks!!!!!!!!!!

  • this phone very beautiful 6212 always goog

  • Dude, you truly are a philistine who probably can't afford this anyway. Think before you post.

  • Do you have 6th sense?. How can you expect all features in mid range mobile?. Mobile is a stereo system or what to give 3D and loud sound?. Mobile cameras are not equal to digital cameras eventhough they are of same MEGAPIXEL. Have some common sense before posting.

  • Thanks Nokia for new thechnology. Nokia need to go fard and making phones but now making all these old cheap looking phones. going backword. They lost all market share in USA and now losing all market share around a world by keep continue making older phone and keep making same phones N series with small differences.

  • real classy

  • cool phone

  • wow, i gonna buy it!

  • its look pretty...

  • Looks cheap though has good specifications.. nokia is taking its shot with the NFC new technology at the 6xxx range! interesting!

  • pretty pro... nokia rules...SE hell...Samsung sucks...

  • They shouldn't name they're phones CLASSIC makes them sound OLD..

  • Tooo Businessy.........lol thank you Nokia turning everyone into Business Men.

  • same as the 3120 classic...onli the form is different...uglyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

  • nokia 6212 tow?now in one

  • there is no countdown clock. the quality of picture at night not very good. the sound not strong enough.

  • Cool phone really cool

  • the imp qs is that how common is NFC, instead of NFC they should have given RFID cause it is much common

  • where's the speaker? 1 speaker only? wonder if its loud and clear??

  • uhh... i feel dumb... but what's NFC?

  • @ nivla your comments: 1.for those boasting about se, moto, samsung, etc. just 1 simple question... do you have NFC? peace... 2.for those SE enthusiasts, does your handsets posses the latest technology? w/c is the NFC? peace... 3.i just cant understand people who keep on looking what this fone 'dont' have. why dont we focus on something that this fone 'have'... open you eyes people and see what i mean. A bit contradicting don't you think? Think before you post your comments. At least have enough wits to use a nokia phone, dont bring the company to shame "nokia, phone for idiots" i dont think the company needs the slogan. And "peace..." doesn't make your comments any cooler. It makes you sound stupid.

  • Yeah like world clock II ect!!!! Beat that N95!

  • i just cant understand people who keep on looking what this fone 'dont' have. why dont we focus on something that this fone 'have'... open you eyes people and see what i mean.

  • tha phone was nice but tha thing is i expecting more from nokia come on my love nokia you do better than this ok

  • NO! wifi and only 2megapixels... come on NOKIA

  • for those SE enthusiasts, does your handsets posses the latest technology? w/c is the NFC? peace...

  • No wonder why most teens switch to another brand because Nokia's old design

  • No HSDPA, no GPS, no OS, No body like it...

  • great looking handset......when they say q3 for relaese does that mean not till july, cant wait that long for this quality handset!!!!

  • for those boasting about se, moto, samsung, etc. just 1 simple question... do you have NFC? peace...

  • very nice phone

  • nokia is producing phones with UMTS , VIDEOCALL cameras , 16 M colors , 2 inch screens commonly. It seems like nokia don't have enough competition from other manufacturers. until somebody gives competition , nokia won't produce an all-rounder phone.

  • sorry, here's the continuation... NFC and Bluetooth are both short-range communication technologies which have recently been integrated into mobile phones. The significant advantage of NFC over Bluetooth is the shorter set-up time. Instead of performing manual configurations to identify Bluetooth devices, the connection between two NFC devices is established at once (

  • hang on everybody, b4 u throw unnecessary comments regarding this unit that are yet to b released,take a few minutes to read this,then u talk, ok? Near Field Communication or NFC, is a short-range high frequency wireless communication technology which enables the exchange of data between devices over about a 10 centimeter (~4 inches) distance. The technology is a simple extension of the ISO 14443 proximity-card standard (contactless card, RFID) that combines the interface of a smartcard and a reader into a single device. An NFC device can communicate with both existing ISO 14443 smartcards and readers, as well as with other NFC devices, and is thereby compatible with existing contactless infrastructure already in use for public transportation and payment. NFC is primarily aimed at usage in mobile phones. NFC and Bluetooth are both short-range communication technologies which have recently been integrated into mobile phones. The significant advantage of NFC over Bluetooth is the shorter set-up time. Instead of performing manual configurations to identify Bluetooth devices, the connection between two NFC devices is established at once (

  • still the same old, behind nokia products nothing new. Design, featuress, performance still very far behind. Better nokia hire engineers from China...

  • 6120 c is around $248 6212 c i assume is a good fone. cheers

  • just a slight upgrade from 6120 classic. not much though. stick to 6120 it's way cheaper when..

  • Nokia 6233 sucessor, eh? Kind of expected a little bit more from this phone. But why call it 6212c? Afterall 6233i doesn't sound so bad does it. Good that it supports American 3G frequencies though...

  • Ben, it's S40 OS. The package content include: * Nokia 6212 classic device * Nokia Battery BL-4U * Nokia Mono Headset HS-40 * Nokia High Efficiency Charger AC-8 * Three NFC tags with preconfigured content * User guide

  • Not sure why everyone is saying that this is nothing new!!! Has anyone actually seen the new features on this phone. If you tap the phone against someone elses phone it will send your business card acroiss instantly via bluetooth. Which is a new feature. Go to virgin media's website, they have all the new details about this phone.

  • Finally we got a 6233 Successor !!!!!! Thank God for that Nokia....

  • Nothing new!!!Instead of repeating the same please produce one with all function.hows that?tnx.

  • Superb!

  • a "new" 6233, maybe...

  • This design of Nokia 6212 classic is superb. Nokia to keep up with it. The one that posted same design, etc should click on picture and a re-look at it again and come out with another opinion abount this new Nokia 6212 classic.

  • Hello World c, I'll Rocks........ Nokia is Rocking....... ohhhhhhhhhhh....yeah....

  • Is this phone a s40 or s60 phone?

  • same features, same design, same nokia... nothing is different...

  • nokia good 6212 very beautiful,like nokia 6220
