Rating: 4 stars
Summary: light, bright display, decent rececption, prone to drop call
Review: I have had it for a month or so and I mostly like it.
The thing I really like about it is the bright display - really bright! and the keypad is back lit
Built in radio - good reception, and sound throught the built-in speaker is pretty good
Charges quickly and holds charge for a while
Phone book acceess is quick and intuitive
Entering numbers - it would have been convenient to be able to add tags to individual numbers
PIM functionality is so-so. Too cumbersome to navigate and enter data. Alarm clock is single alarm, no timer (Someday all phone will have touchscreens).
Too bad it needs a custom cable = $39.00 (or IR) for PC connections. Why can't they put a USB port on the phone?
Phone drops connections occasionally. Not clear why. But when connected sound quality is superb either through handset or headset.
AT&T service is mediocre.

Summary: I love it!
Review: I love it!Everything works great with this cell phone.

Summary: good cell phone, ok GSM service
Review: I love the speaker phone feature. Handsfree kit adapter is not a standard head phone jack. My other nokia hands free kit will also not work with this phone. Good thing is that my old battery charger works with this phone so now I can keep one at work and one at home!
I got this phone 2 days ago and still have not re-charged it! I even got OK signal inside most of the malls. I was getting poor AT&T wireless signal inside my home with my old cell phone 3360 which required me to charge my phone often. GSM signal is somewhat better in my home. So far no dropped calls. Hope AT&T's GSM service gets better with time!

Summary: Best phone I ever owned!
Review: I love this phone. It't the fifth Nokia phone I've owned and by far the best. I have mine through Cingular and it's worked great in the U.S.A. as well as in Switzerland and England. I've had clear reception no matter where I've been. I almost bought the Sony Ericsson T-616 instead, and am now glad I didn't.

Summary: All the features I wanted!
Review: I purchased this cell phone in September 2003. It had a lot of the features that I was looking for - text messaging, color display, and internet capabilities. One of the interesting features of this phone is the radio, which only works if the ear piece (included) is plugged into the phone. Though I have only used this feature once thus far.

I give this phone only 4 stars, because lint and other particles like to get on the screen under the protective plastic.

Summary: Nice phone but going to try a Nokia 8390
Review: I think all the other reviews tell the story: great phone, great features, if you use them. Unfortunately I don't use the phone for anything other than as a phone. Give me a phone I can use anywhere. The color display is a problem for me, indoors it is fine but in areas where sunlight is intense it is very difficult to see the display. If key lock is on it is even worse, my ability to read this display is about 60% of my old 3360. I am going to look for a phone with a LCD display with lots of contrast and all the phone features of this phone (wish me luck). Any suggestions please email waynger@overbeckmachine.com

Summary: Nokia 6200 Comapred to Sony Ericsson T616
Review: I used both Nokia 6200 and Sony Ericsson T616 with AT&T plan in Washington, DC metro area. This nokia has a much better reception. The battery life is great. Definitely recommend it. On the downside, it does not have bluetooth.

Summary: Mixed bag
Review: I was expecting a lot from this phone. It certainly seemed to
be a big step up from my old Audiovox. However, there are several
drawbacks as other reviewers have mentioned.

Pros:
- phone is very compact
- national service plan features and pricing are good.
- Tri-mode GSM is supposed to work internationally
- color screen is bright and pretty clear
- you can easily customize the phone's features with menus
- M-mode plan is reasonably priced for 1 MB / month
- headset works well

Cons:
- AT&T signal quality is very poor in Bay Area. I fail to
get a signal about 50% of the time.
- GPRS data connections are even less reliable than voice calls.
- I've repeatedly gotten "SIM card errors" from the phone.
These generally go away when I power the phone off then
on again.
- I've gotten a couple of other errors where the phone
is in "restricted" mode, also requiring power-off.
- Phone has accumulated dust underneath the glass screen cover.
- I haven't found a way to access yellow pages or similar
information via m-mode.
- there aren't many Nokia or third-party accessories available
for this model.

Summary: Great phone !!!
Review: I was in the hunt for a smartphone and even tried the Nokia 6820 (loved the flip open keyboard) but was disappointed with the PDA aspect of it and then heard about the Motorola MPX220 to be released in a month and decided to wait for it. For the time being I decided to pick up a Nokia 6200 which will eventually serve as my backup phone. When I brought it home and played with it I was amazed at the phones features and reception for the price. I would highly recommend it.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: A good effort but not the most comfortable phone 4 the price
Review: I've had my Nokia 6200 for about 3 months and still am not really thrilled with it. The color screen is beautiful but that's where my compliments end. The buttons are annoying and unless you have fingers the size of a 5 year old's you will end up mis-dialing. Nokia still hasn't come out with different covers for the phone so we were forced to buy some of a different brand just so we could use the buttons easier. My phone also has issues with shutting itself off even when the battery if full. I also get communication errors with it several times a week when trying to dial out. I can't wait to upgrade to something more stable and easier to use..
