Vlog Demo: Listening To Text Messages on Nokia 6220 Classic

New Nokia phones can let us listen to our text messages without installing anything. I just found this very cool feature built-in already on the Nokia 6220 Classic that should also work on the new phones running S60 3rd edition FP2 like the Nokia N96 or Nokia N85. I don’t have those phones yet, so I can’t confirm. Take a look at the video.

On this demo, I asked Sheila to finish the video for me. She’s not a big Nokia fan, but agreed to do it anyway. Thanks, sweetie! Make sure to see the outtakes at the end.

Note: If the embeded video below is not visible in your RSS readers, you can view it here.

As you can see, it’s a nice feature, but the computer’s voice might be hard to understand. A lot of my friends also type in sms shortcuts that the phone might not understand. I also think it is a nifty feature that can make better drivers if they listen instead of read their messages.

Check your Nokia phone and let me know if you have this feature.

    Nokia 6120 classic has the same feature, also you can download more voices. I tried using it for 3 days before I gave it to my sis as a bday gift. LoL

    While in active-standby, my E51 starts reading all new messages aloud by just long-pressing the left "blue" key. Amazing - took me almost a year to discover this...

    That's what the manual was for^^
    This feature was not mentioned in any of the phone's specs. Lucky I dl the manual before buyin my 6220c.
  • Great out takes!

    Just to add, the N81 does not let you change the voice settings like your 6220 Classic.
  • My N81 8GB has this feature, its quite impressive, also talks through menu navigation too if you wish.

    Ah, I forgot: The E50 als has it.

    E71 has it, too. Also for e-mails. You can download more voices (especially other languages) from the Nokia website.

    My good old E51 came with the same feature...
    So it's on S60 3rd FP1 as well - at least on some E-series phones.
  • Awww... I think Sheila should present all your videos from now on! ^_^

    I love the voice on that 6220, reminds my of the speech synth stuff on really old (80's) arcade machines.
