What it is Filled
The Nokia 6720 classic is a Nokia candybar smartphone model introduced in 2009, running Symbian OS with the S60 interface and combining cellular telephony, a physical numeric keypad, GPS navigation and a five-megapixel camera.
In scope
- Product identity and distinctions from similarly named Nokia phones, especially the Nokia 6700 classic.
- Hardware and regional variants that affect network, battery, accessory and software compatibility.
- Physical controls, display, imaging, audio and positioning capabilities.
- Software environment, local data handling and dependence on external services.
- Evidence needed to assess an individual handset's operating condition and permitted maintenance.

- The Nokia brand, corporate history and wider handset catalogue.
- Generic cellular-network architecture and operator infrastructure.
- Subscriber accounts, tariffs and ownership of telephone numbers.
- Independent models of batteries, chargers, memory cards and headsets.
