Summary: takes a dip, doesn't skip
Review: This is a great phone, and I was distraught when I realized that I had it on when I jumped in the pool for a couple of minutes. When I took the soggy handset in to get a replacement, I found out that Cingular didn't carry them anymore. Luckily, a rep there was nice enough to sell me her cherished 6200. Two weeks later, I thought I'd just test the old swimmer one more time, and IT WORKS!!! Now I have a backup for my next stupid move, and even more admiration for Nokia phones.

Summary: Great Phone
Review: This is a great phone. Easy to use as all Nokias, light, great battery performance and a nice color display. AT&T includes a headset also. The phone has a radio builtin, also has a speaker which can be quite useful.And I do think it's definitely stylish - but that obviously depends on one's taste. I can only recommend this phone.

Summary: nokia 6200 - solid phone for the serious user
Review: This is a very good phone. I have had it for a couple months now, and i can't really find any real fault with it. For its small size it is packed with features. It has a large bright color screen which is readable in daylight. It uses EGPRS for fast internet, and in my area, ATT/Cingular has good reception for clear calling. It can operate at 850/1800/1900 frequencies which enables use essentially world wide. The speakerphone is strong and loud, and there is a voice recording feature also. Despite having features of an advanced phone, Nokia has retained its trademark user-friendliness in this phone. Scrolling over a feature with the 4-way nav button activates help text for information. Additional perks include MMS, polyphonic ringtones, and FM radio with headset included in the package.
The drawbacks are small keys, but within a week, using the keypad seems like old hat. Unfortunately it does not have a camera, but this was a generation before camera phones came out. Dust tends to collect under the screen over longer periods of time, but can be cleaned by opening up the external case. I invested in a cheap (made in china) leather case and since then i have not had dust problems. Overall this is a solid phone with features designed for serious users. People wanting cameras and mp3 players in their phones look elsewhere.

Summary: A ringing endorsement-for any other cell phone
Review: What a p-o-s phone! I've never had a product of any kind that had a mind of its own quite like this one. Avoid at all costs.

Summary: Very cool
Review: Wow - this phone is great! At first I didn't think the extra $50 over the Nokia 3560/95 (which I also briefly owned) was a lot. But this phone is smaller, has a nicer screen, and even looks and feels better (backlight doesn't creep out the sides, etc). The produces a much nicer picture than other color phones. Downloadings games, applications, news, etc is as simple as browsing the web on this webcam and costs at most $.03/kb with att which isn't bad for no monthly fee. This phone also has great reception. Better than the 3560/95 in my area. I haven't travelled with it yet but the biggest limitation travelling will be finding GSM towers, not the phone. In short - good phone worth the money.

Summary: true to the NOKIA name!
Review: You know what? I don't know when people don't just buy Nokia's and make themselves happy. I see all these bad reviews on some of the 'coolest' and 'newesr' phones out there with all these bells & whistles but one thing the other companies forget it actually making it functional enough so the end user isn't pissed off all the time ... I don't get it!
The point is FUNCTIONALITY. I say the above statement because I temporarily got ployed into the new high rez screen flip camera phone nonsense that's going on out there.
First off, I've purchases 2 plans and 6 lines of service with AT&T over past 3 months ... NO COMPLAINTS. What I did was I purchased through all the online web sites that offer money back to you to buy the phones and plans. First one with letstalk, then cellular choices. Both excelent. I tracked the progress of my phone and the shipping, total took 4-7 days for phone activation and shipment. One was with brining my number over also. So overall, time wise was great. Shipment came fine, no problems with phones etc. Coverage also great. Coverage goes hand in hand though, bad phone gives bad reception. DON'T BE QUICK TO BLAME AT&T.
When I got my order I got the Nokia 3200 - great phone by the way, you can see my review on it but it's ugly. I sold it and got the NEC 525. OMH BAD MISTAKE. Dropped calls, calls overlapping eachother, little and to poor reception. I actually lucked out and was able to SWAP that with a Nokia 6200. I have been so happy since. Not once have I had a dropped call or bad reception ... NOT ONCE! Same carrier, same location, different phone ... I makes a world of difference and I believe part of that is because it is TRI-MODE. The guy I swapped with worked for Nokia and wanted a flip phone. I talked to him two days later and he said "This is a nice toy to play with but I'm going back to Nokia in a week or so" and he did!
As for me, I've tried them all late: Nokia, Samsung, LG, and NEC and I must say, no one can beat the Nokia technology. They may not be the best looking phones (well actually the Nokias that are new in Asia, Middle East, and Europe right now are GORGEOUS and do just about anything you can imagine, one plays movies and one even measures your pulse :O)
NOKIA 6200 PROS: (theres just so many)
- SPEAKERPHONE once you have it, can't do without
- TRI-MODE and hense EXCELLENT RECEPTION

NOKIA 6200 CONS:
- Not the best COLOR RESOLUTION compared to others out there only 4,096-color
- Not a CON but the back battery cover has a little gap, doesn't fully close
- One thing that is a personal want is that I wish you can change the up and down arrows as they both go to contacts as well as the right key selection, don't need contacts that much ;)
- You'll need to download some GAMES WALLPAPERS and SOUNDS (get them free at www.zedge.no)
