Hi, this model has a known bug, which may cause freezing or crashing after a few months use. It's to do with the phones internal processer, which has bug in the code. You can temporarily fix the freezing by removing the battery and relpacing it. However, the fault will return. Other faults include freezing in camera mode and launching applications when on sleep and freezing. You've been warned.

I Bought this phone as a replacement for a Sony Erricsson. A cheap phone (though I've had cheaper). I only use a mobile for talking and texting. This phone is a total failure because one can barely hear the other person speaking. The sound qulaity is abysmal. I stopped using it after 2 days and am looking for a replacement.I wanted to get a Nokia as I had one 2 phones ago which lasted years (can't remember the model. I am turned off of Nokia now. Just because it is a basic phone, the soiund quality should be nowhere near as bad as this. I feel let down and cannot possibly recommend this phone.

I've used this phone for about a year as a second phone . Its nice and light , fits in my shirt pocket and is an ideal basic just so that people can get in touch at the office. Nothing fancy admittedly but its cheap and easily replaced if , like me , your phones go walkabout on occasion.

pretty experienced phone user and it's good for the basics but it is very very slow. loading messages takes seconds and it's pretty empty. can't use opera mini with it as it just crashes. if you're looking for a cheap phone sub �30 then this is great if you're just making calls or texts, but otherwise not that great. battery has been amazing for me, i think Pete that your phone needs a new battery as it may be faulty

Great phone, a decent improvement on my last one. Since it cost only �25 sterling, I don't mind the poor camera. The predictive text works well and the battery lasts about 3 days between charges before it gets low. The reasons I chose it- light, thin and decent texting.

It's a good all-rounder and easy to use; the screen is clear; calendar extremely useful and easy to use. I purchased on recommendation from a friend and now my 23 year old son is going to buy one. Economically priced and easy to use - would recomend it for those who don't want a fancy phone.

I have read the reviews and noted them. I am on Vodaphone and I keep getting 'no network available' messages yet My old Nokia1100 has the network in the same place at the same time.

Well for a start, connectivity is not only limited to Bluetooth, you also have cable and infra-red. Yes memory is limited so you can't load a lot of pics onto it. It may be only dual-band but I have been all around most Euro counties with it and I always get a connection. My provider is Tesco Mobile, which I believe uses the O2 network, and hasn't crashed yet after a missed call. Summing up, I think its a great little phone for phone calls and text's. Thats all I want a phone for. I have a decent camera for pics. Lets face it, you gets what you pay for.

However, yesterday I took it out of my pocket and the LCD had cracked behind the screen. There is not a single mark on it, yet Carphone Warehouse told me it was because I hadn't looked after it properly. Apparently what had happened to it was "impossible according to the laws of physics". They couldn't tell me which laws of physics, or even name any laws of physics, but hey, apparently they know.

If you want a cheap no frills phone with basic functions then this is the phone for you. It is very slim and lightweight, however the disadvantages are: the screens are very slow to load and the more you download i.e. pics etc the slower it gets, my advice is keep the phone clear of ringtones and photos and it will work quicker. The battery life isnt great and the ringtones are awful. The quality of the external speaker isnt good either and i dont think the internal aerial is as good as other Nokias. The camera is terrible too, however as i mentioned earlier if want a phone and you dont intend to use the functions then this is o.k. and really cheap to buy. The size and weight is its biggest advantage.

This phone seemed an ideal low cost replacement for my daughter after her previous phone was stolen. Neat design and adequate features for the price. In the 2 weeks she had it it didn't freeze or let her down battery wise. Unfortunately, it's not very strong. She had it in her front pocket and when she sat down the screen cracked - the phone is so thin that it bent just enough to crack the screen. Sadly, repair shops quote �35 to fix so its in the bin.

DON'T BUY THIS PHONE, IT SUFFERS FROM SOME SERIOUS FAULTS. I bought this phone from Tesco mobile about a month ago. It has suffered from exactly the same faults as other users complain of. The phone hung after a missed call within a week of buying it, and has hung twice since then. Battery life is very poor. I don't make many calls or send many texts but the phone needs to be charged about once a week.

Read all the reviews and have to say that my new Nokia 2630 is perfect. Definitely no locking up or, for that matter, any other problems and I have had several missed calls while the keypad is locked. Maybe they have fixed the problem on the newer phones. Yes, camera is poor quality but battery seems to last quite well but then I use my phone to communicate not chat or take photos or listen to music! No MP3, who cares. If you want loads of features you have to pay loads of money - it's pure economics. However, the FM radio is great. Recently bought one for the wife and daughter, they love it. What can one expect for �19.53 YES �19.53 - unbelieveable value! It must be the cheapest bluetooth mobile phone on the market. I love it!

At the end of the day, If I was going for a top of the range phone, i'd have expected more. But I didnt. I went for a budget, cheaper than cheap phone, and it's exceeded all expectations.

To address some concerns on here, on Vodafone I have experiecned no crashing regarding missed calls (think it's O2 only) and like ALL Nokia phones, you change the in-call volume with the 4-way pad during a call, simple... In short, if you want to talk, text and take/send pic's with no fuss, you can do far worse than this cracking little handset. Highly recommended...

Been using this one for about three months and I�m not impressed. The design of the mobile itself is really the only appeal to it. Batterylife is rubish. Camera is slow and crap. The sound quality of the speaker is lousy - don�t try making a call in a slightly noisy environment, as you won�t be able to hear what anyone says. Also the software is the slowest I�ve met on a phone. I uploaded a picture I wanted as a background screen - but when I try to open it it takes about two minutes.. This phone feels underdeveloped. It shouldn�t have reached the store shelves if you ask me.

Bought this phone as a 'need-a-stop-gap' payg for �25. It's a telephone. It makes phone calls. It was very cheap. The really good bits are; it weighs nothing, it has good battery life, the software is instantly recognisable to anyone who has ever used a Nokia, the call quality and reception are excellent, it sync's up with my bluetooth bits flawlessly. The downsides (if there can be any at this price) are; the camera isn't great, there's very limited memory and no micro SD slot, the software is a bit on the slow side and the keypad is a bit indistinct - no separation between the keys and little tactile feedback. Overall - a great phone for the money and more to the point, a great phone for users that want a phone, not a pc in their pocket.

A part from that, it's good. The phone costs some UK �25 from O2 - for the features it offers it is good value for money. Quit moaning you guys! andy

The good points. 1. Relatively cheap for its features, comes with Bluetooth capabilities, VGA camera with 4x zoom, and FM radio. 2. For the few times I have made calls using this phone, I have found the voice to be very crisp and clear over the phone, which impressed me. 3. Very lightweight and slim as well, and is definitely easy to carry around. 4. Comes along with its headset in the box. 5. Able to play mp3 files (I only needed one - for my ringtone!) 6. 65k colours, 128x160 screen is good enough for its functions. Colours are clear and vibrant. The bad points. 1. The OS is too slow. Perhaps it's due to Orange's branding, but the phone takes literally a second at times to respond to the button I press. Unlocking the keypad is a big pain due to this, as I need to press, wait one second, press, and wait another second before it unlocks. However, this might be just Orange phones. 2. Its camera belongs to the 1980s. VGA camera takes rubbish pictures, might as well not include it and cut the price by 10 pounds. Don't even bother asking about its video capabilities. 3. FM radio is basically unusable. Searching for stations takes forever, and woe be you if you decide to scroll through the frequencies (takes a full second to 'register' the frequency - even when it's just static. try going thru every 0.1Hz at this rate to find a station). 4. Dismal memory. Said to be 11Mb, but mine (due to branding by Orange I guess) only has 6Mb free when it arrived. Forget bout putting in more than one mp3. 5. Poor battery life. I doubt it can last longer than a day after a few hours of talktime. 6. It's dual band (might limit roaming capabilities).

The menu takes time to catch up with your button pressing, the battery life is great on standby but gobbles up during talktime and if you use a photo as wallpaper, the quality is not quite there.

So far so good, although I have only had it a week, but none of the problems outlined below(I am on Meteor). Seem to be getting loads of time on the battery. I would advise any one who buys it to get a cover quick because the paintwork scratches very easily.

I absolutely HATE the Nokia 2630!! I find it difficult, impossible to hear a caller on this phone. I'm always trying to reposition the phone against my ear to hear better, never had this problem with other style phones. Although I've looked through all the menu options there seems to be no way to control the "speaker" volume, only the ringer. HATE IT HATE IT HATE IT!! Can't wait to be rid of it.

Fine phone, does all the basics well, and if you set it up properly (i.e. knock off screensavers etc.) the battery can last for ages. Poor camera, but I couldn't careless about cameras on phones. Big drawback is the volume: it can't be turned up so forget about calling in a CROWDED PUB!

Bought this to use until I can upgrade my HTC Touch Dual (great PDA, lousy phone.) It makes calls, receives calls, has a good battery life, is slim in the pocket, the alarm works, bluetooths up to my car OK, sycs with my Mac, quick easy texting. Ok, it is slow to respond to buttons being pressed and the screen is not as high resolution as some. But for a phone, to make calls, (an under rated feature of some phones) it is great.

I just bought a Nokia 2630, I like its design but i'm a bit dissapointed on how slow the keypad reacts, and the ringtones are not very good either, but if you just need a phone to call people i guess you'd br happy..the camera is allright, is best it bright lighting.

SOLUTION TO NOKIA 2630 Freezing Problem: I purchased this phone yesterday, only to find that there is a problem with the phone locking up/freezing under the following circumstances: Lock the Nokia 2630 keypad (Menu + * key) Call the Nokia from a different phone Let the Nokia ring, don't answer it When the voicemail kicks in with the other phone (i.e. the one used to call the Nokia 2630 mobile) just hang up - don't leave a voice mail message. Now - if your service provider sends a text message at the same time as the phone showing "One missed call", the handset will be locked and the only way to get out of this is to take the battery out, as already mentioned here.. BUT - It is possible in many cases to get your service provider to NOT SEND A TEXT MESSAGE after receiving a call... For example, TESCO sends a "service text message" stating your current balance after calls you make or receive. I believe this is fundamental to the problem. A simple call to TESCO asking them to stop this service , and I no longer have a problem! Additionally - find out the FIRMWARE version of your phone by typing *#0000#. I was using 5.20. They have since fixed this problem with FIRMWARE version version 5.61 as of 03 July 2008. I spoke to Nokia's support department who recommended taking the phone to a Nokia centre (and they gave m the details for the local store for my geographical area). Excellent service from Nokia. I would suggest that if you happen to like the look and feel of the phone itself, this problem is very easy to fix (and is fixed for free by a Nokia provider, as long as you take your receipt along). I quite like the phone, good quality sound / reception, nice design, easy to text with...

Purchased April 2008. Phone freezes when there's a missed call and keypad lock is on. Have to remove battery to restart the phone. Extremely disappointed. Serious fault without any apparent cure at the moment. Avoid this phone at all costs - DO NOT BUY it, you will be wasting your money!

Purchased March 2008. Had 3 handsets so far. Screen freezes on missed calls. Only remedy to remove battery and sim. Since looking at other websites I am not the only one to have had this problem. This is rubbish.
