Reviewed by Colin Lambert on 21/04/2008 Well I thinbk you are (mostly) a load of moaning old minnies. I bought my 6630 s/hand off E-Bay locked on Orange and it is a brilliant phone. No faults whatsoever, good battery life Good (for only 1.3 Megapixies)camera, e-mail loudspeaker, blue tooth. None of the rediculous faults you see on newr phones lik screen cracking. losing signal messages disappearing. They should never have stopped making it. Everyone should stop trying to look trendy and buying junk. 'Old is Gold'! Rating:    
Reviewed by John Mclain on 02/04/2008 to avoid restarts and phone switching off hold down the button next to the green one for 2 secs and shut applications down. Had this phone for four years with no probems at all. All latest phones have software issues and you only know this if you work for o2 ;) Also when phone is switched on hold down pencil button to prevent this. Have dropped it a million times but its solid as a C Rock. Rating:

Reviewed by Ron, England on 15/01/2008 Reading through the gripes here, it seems - while accepting that few things are perfect - that most of the problems are caused by lack of knowledge - and pretty basic knowledge at that. For me it's been a fine mobe with no problems - just read the manual, people - please! And, as several people have pointed out, just don't leave a mess of open programmes - use it, close it.

Reviewed by Dejan on 03/01/2008 The best mobile phone I've ever owned and this year it'll be 4 yers old. It's easy to use with clear screen resolution and instructions, acceptable battery life of 2-3 days with moderate use and most important, it's compact. I've dropped it hard several times and the consequnce are only minor scraches on the surface. Connection is brilliant and clear, speaker works without any additional noises, and the only thing worth mentioning is occasional interruption of the signal after hour or so of talking. Photographs are clear and the resolution allows taking decent photos which I've been able to publish with no problems so far in different books nad magazines. It posed no problems when switching the original 64 MB MMC to 1G MMC, which is quite enough for number of songs, videos and other multimedia stuff. Bluetooth works perfectly and the USB connections to computer run easy. This year I had some problems with sending and receiving messages (text and MMS), and the phone sometimes made phonecalls on its own but solved the problem with returning to factory settings and it works like a charm again. Internet browsing is quite easy and checking the email box never gave me any headache. Overall, decent and reliable phone. Rating:

I was able to store like up to 120 rock mp3 songs and just play it continuously, battery life is excellent as well. it's clean to look at and the silver finish gives a business/techy flavor. one thing notable is the crispy pictures of 1.3 pix, even better than a 2megapix SE, believe me. by the way, my 6630 was just stolen 4 days ago.it broke my heart.

The phone is still fully intact and in perfect working order. It contains minor chips and scratched thats as bout as bad as it gets. And no I am not a law-abiding 60 year old man who never uses the phone. I first brought the phone brand new when I was 15 and I am now 17. Go out drinking at weekends with my phone and it gets thrown around all over the place in my car when I'm driving. I would love to change my phone but I keep thinking, its never let me down and has all the facilities that i require, alright its not the best looking, or smallest phone but its doing it job at the moment so i would rather spend the money on petrol or a good drink like any other kid my age :D Rating:

Reviewed by Naveli on 27/07/2007 I used this phone for a year and a half, and had a chance to gauge it on various parameters. It has some awful problems and some excellent qualities so I am giving it a balanced rating. Bad things - whenever I had to send a msg, I would have to go to the Outbox and re-send the msg else it does not leave my outbox. Also, it kept showing "memory full" and hanging when all memories had ample space. Good things - very durable (dropped it often but didn't have a problem), excellent camera, and an overall good usability Rating:

Also, general processing speed appears to be slow. Pic quality has been good. Videos were good and the screen size is useful - although I scratched mine easily carrying it in my pocket.

Reviewed by Jan Wales on 07/05/2007 I have had my Nokia 6630 for 2 years now and it is one of the best phones I have ever had. I had to wait 6 months before I had it new, because it was the latest Nokia at the time and I had to wait for it to be accessible in the shops, but it was worth the wait. My only gripe is the phone battery, if I use it for any length of time the battery runs out fairly quickly, but it is still an excellent phone. It has all I need in a phone and more. I have used the camera for 3 car accidents I was involved in (not my fault) and it was invaluable, the picture quality is superb. So in 2 years I have had no real problems with it. Rating:

Reviewed by Zolflan on 16/01/2007 I looked at all the reviews on this site when I was thinking of buying the 6630 and ignored all of the bad reviews about it crashing. However, after buying it I found that this fault wasn't just a series of one-off problems as I have found the same problems. All the websites focus on the good features which I admit that it has. I was pleased with the camera, the mp3 player and the removable memory. The phones performance, however just ruins these features as I probably have to take the battery out 6 times a day as it crashes so often. The battery runs out so often that no one calls me on my mobile because I can never answer. I don't know why Nokia haven't realised how bad this phone is because there have been enough complaints about it. I sure won't ever buy a Nokia again after this! Rating:

Reviewed by Vijay Rangari on 07/07/2006 I only got this as I wanted a free upgrade with mp3 and megapixel camera (Orange said only new customers can have the Samsung D600 ;/) and I have added 1GB memory for music & videos. Sorry no good points to mention. Problems I have had: 1. It jams sometimes - need to switch off & on; 2. Music player is poorly integrated - you cannot jump to next track by pressing the button on the headset cable like the 6230 does; 3. No volume control on the outside - only a stupid voice dial button which can be done from the headset anyway; 4. WindowsXP crashes if trying to transfer too many files to phone at once; 5. Missed calls even if it does not ring; 6. MP4 videos in full screen do not play smoothly hence not useable. Tried recording in smaller resolution (QCIF?) but still not perfect and jams after 4 minutes of play. I wish I had just left Orange and gone elsewhere...... Ouch! Rating:

Reviewed by Nashvin on 17-05-2006 The first time i saw a "box" of 6630 at a nokia gallery, i said to myself "Boy! I would never want a phone like that!" but after consulting some "experts", took the initiative of buyin this phone(ofcourse, i was getting a good deal!)
Trust me... this phone doesn't look all that bad as it does on the "Box" or magazines.
PROS: Soft keypad, 1.3 Megapixel Camera with 6x smooth zoom, Good video
recording, side power button which makes it easier to handle, hot-swap flash card support, 10 MB interneal memory, EGPRS supprort, 3G support, Superb sound quality (stereo sound), Clock supports world clock! & lots more. The best part is that it is incorporated with SYMBIAN Operating System which means you can make the phone do much more by means of softwares!
CONS: Lacks flash & protection for camera, i don't remember having any serious problems with this phone except for some common series60 bugs like
hangin' at times (but that too happens if we do not EXIT applications).
TRICKThe best thing to do when you experience a wierd or unusual behaviour from your series60 cell:
1. Back up your phone on your MMC
2. Key in *#7370# and reset your phone to factory settings(This is NOT the same as selecting 'reset to original settings' from phone settings
menu).
3. Restore backup.
********* THINGS I DO (with my 6630) ********
Handle my mails which includes sending, receiving, storing using an email client(Profimail), Browse the net (Opera, ThunderHawk), Handle calls
(Phonepilot: personalise calls including voice message recording),
Listen to online radio(Virtual radio) and much much more!

Reviewed by Daniel Cohen on 09-04-2006 I've had this phone for a few weeks now and thought I should write a bit about it. When I bought it the first thing that struck me was that it wasn't as big as it looked in magazines, although it's still large for a
mobile phone the extra space is well used as the camera is excellent and
the screen large. It was slightly difficult working out how to get the free 64MB memory card in but it does work and means that the total memory is brilliant. Now for the flaws, the USB cable requires a degree of force to attach the phone to my computer which is slightly worrying since I've
broken USB connectors in the past and the button used for taking pictures and navigating 3G services does not have an on-screen symbol so that at first I was unsure how to take a picture without going to Options>Capture and it is also tricky to press it as it is the centre of a directional
button and so you have to look at it to see what you are doing. The most noticeable flaw however is that the phone began to crash requiring me to turn it off and on again several times at first. I found out that this is because when you press hang up to exit an application it tries to keep it running in the background, and so you can easily have a build up of applications going on without realising it. Its power to multitask is frankly pitiful since it just locks up and is best avoided by holding the menu button down (the equivalent of Ctrl-Alt-Delete on a computer) and closing all applications apart from the one in use, I found this solution to be completely acceptable since there is little need for a phone to multitask. Overall an excellent phone with some flaws that are made up for by an excellent camera with decent video. Highly recommended. Rating:

not recognising the SIM, and going into offline mode. When it has worked, I have found it to be extremely slow compared to an excellent predecessor 6310i. The reaction time in the menu is abismal and the time to dial other phones too long. Worst of all, going from 6310i which lasts more than a week on a single charge, this one does not last two days. For the frequent caller business user this is THE LAST phone you should get. Wait for the next series to come out which gives back its primarly quality a mobile needs: long battery life, fast and easy menu, and worry free software. Rating:

Tried all its communicaton features, all is ok, test all its internet
aps, even used it as modem, all is ok, Camera - fast and nice quality,
video - 1 hour and smooth. Tried running multiple apps - went ok, still
fast, but sometimes, have to close when memory is full-its ok, everything
has a limit. Tried games, whoa! this fone is fast on games, lol. Some
games won't work on the fone though and may reboot it - check compatibility
before installing a game. Looks - not the hottest but certainly the cutest 3
Neways, I'm really quite surprised that a number of reviews cited reliability issues with the fone. I found none. There were few
software issues I encountered but it was my fault :) Important
function: press menu key, don't let go until a window pops up, you'll see some opened programs, close everything except 'phone'. This probably
causing some 'slowdowns' or 'freezes' in the phone, open programs steal memory so
close them when not needed. Nokia should have made a quick manual and included
this very imprtnt function, if rating was 10 I give 9 but 5 neways :) Rating:

The phone itself is too large and the camera is rendered worthless by the astonding lack of any flash or light. All film and picture taken is way to dark and fuzzy to be at all usable.
The positive reviews here must have been written by nokia employee's because after 3 or 4 months with this phone I have yet to find any redeeming features.
The software suite that comes with the phone has yet to recognise my phones existence when plugged in (even tho my computer see's it just fine.)

Reviewed by Dave Norman on 13-11-2005 Nokia 6630.
Such a deceptive phone. On my first glance at this phone, as a website picture, I thought how awkward and clumsy it looked. This proved the opposite upon handling it in the phone shop. The phone sits perfectly in the hand. The slightly, and it is only slightly, rounded end of the phone fits well into the palm of the hand. After a few minutes, it had a good user-friendly feel to it. It supples a stable base for depressing the keys, for messages etc.
The screen is a delight. It has good colour resolution. As well as the necessary icons there is plenty of room for a screen saver.
I found, so far, the call quality to be very good. I have called local UK calls, and a call to Switzerland. No problems.
The interface is very brisk. It took me a time (and I am still learning) to become familiar with the various screens and sub screen, but it is fun.
The 6630 comes with a good connection cable and enables a connection from the CD wizard. It's handy for downloading fun things, like screen savers of pictures already saved onto the computer. As yet I have not investigated the business downloads.
The camera is good. Again it takes a wee time to familiarise with the best way to angle a picture. But then, it is easily installed into the picture gallery. There is video capability, but as yet I have not used this. I found the images I did take, make quite good screen savers.
The phone build is good, it is solid and does not creak, when the keys are pressed. The keyboard is ok, nicely spaced but maybe the key pads can seem a little too smooth. But nothing I found created a problem. The screen is huge and it is advised to buy a pouch to keep the phone in, to avoid scratching the screen.
Again, as yet I have not found any way to alter the font size for typing messages. This does not say that it does not exist, just that as yet, I have seen no evidence of being able to do this. Also I think there are only two shortcut facilities available, but again I may be wrong on this.
So far I am very pleased with this phone. Using it, never seems congested. It is not that heavy and although not a tiny phone, it really doesnt seem to be too big. The phone needs to be picked up and handled, to convey the true nature of it's qualities, rather than pre-judgement from catlogue or website photos. Rating:    
Reviewed by John Doe on 06-11-2005 Very easy to use after the learning curve, reliable, and fun!
Many people have problems; I found the solution was not closing your active programs. You have to remember this is a smart phone, and lets you run active programs. In doing so, it wastes "ram" inside your phone. It’s best to keep closing programs when you don't need them. Screen bright and clear.
It being Symbian opens a new world for Nokia phones. It enables applications, themes and many more things to be downloaded. Having new themes and good applications expands the lifespan, and usability of the phone. It’s pleasing to have a nice theme, compared to the average Series 40 menu.
Only bad thing I can think of is the lack of gallery/folder viewing. It isn't as assessable as a Series 40 phone. You’re not really able to create a huge array of folders to store images, say family to friends. Series 40 are able to create many folders to navigate to and fro, loading pictures etc....
Also, when viewing pictures of the camera, it looks really stupid. But when using the keypad after a while, it isn’t bad at all! It’s like a normal Nokia keypad, just slightly different. So don't be scared if you do find it weird at first, jus takes time to get used to.
Pros:
Good Camera.
Good Keypad.
Symbian capabilities.
Cons:
Battery life.
Folder navigation.
Video quality isn't the best (N70 & Samsung E720 best at the mo).
