The
6630 is Nokia's first 3G smartphone, built on the Series 60 Symbian
operating system with a wealth of pre-installed and downloadable
applications. Physically it's reminiscent of the 3660,
although its more compact and has a better keypad. In terms of functionality,
it offers everything that the 7610
can do, with the addition of 3G, an improved camera, faster processor
and more memory.
Business
applications include full always-on email support, with support
for Virtual Private Networks (VPN) and a built-in application for
reading attachments such as Microsoft Word and Excel documents.
With full broadband internet via 3G or EDGE, you can send and receive
multimedia documents very quickly indeed.
Multimedia
applications include a high-resolution digital camera (1.3 megapixels)
with up to one hour of video capture. You can also download video
or audio (MP3/AAC) for playback on the high quality 65k colour display
and stereo headset. The 3G connection is fast enough to enjoy real
time video streaming. The supplied software includes Nokia Video
Editor and Movie Director so you can edit the videos that you record.
The web browser provides advanced HTML support, including background
images, frames and some JavaScript so browsing the web is a much
richer experience than on most phones. The large screen is ideal
for viewing all these applications. It's not the best screen in
its class, but it's as as good as anything Nokia have previously
produced and it's good enough. It's worth noting too that the headset
provides for listening to MP3 in stereo, unlike some of the other
Series 60 phones.
One
feature that's notable by its absence is video calling. The 3G functions
seem to be aimed primarily at providing fast communication, and
the video calling function has been left out.
There's
a full range of connectivity options, including wireless Bluetooth™
support, both for headsets / car kits and for all kinds of data
transfer. You can synchronise your contacts remotely using Bluetooth
or via a cable.
The
internal memory of 10 Mbytes is not going to be enough for all of
the functions available on this phone, but a 64 Mbyte memory card
is supplied and this can be hot-swapped to store or transfer data.
For users who download a lot of applications, the lack of internal
memory may be a problem. We would expect this to be remedied in
the next generation of 3G smartphones.
Battery
life is excellent for a phone of this kind. Depending on usage,
it should be possible to get a couple of days use from this phone
between charges.
A
word of caution: some users are reporting reliability problems with
this phone and it would be well worth reading the user reviews below
before purchasing. The 6630 has now been superseded by the Nokia
6680.

I have had this phone approx a month now, and have had none of the
problems mentioned in the bad reviews, i have found this phone easy
to use and reliable with a truly remarkable 1.3m pixel camera, a
lot of the problems are caused by not closing or exiting the programmes
properly, to rectify this press and hold the menu button for a couple
of seconds, it will show the programmes that are open, then simply
select them one at a time and close or exit them. Rating:

This phone was perfect for a while. Nice and easy to use and i like
the way you can choose your own 'shortcut' keys. However i've recently
had a similar problem to others - texts wont send. They stay in
the outbox for a while then fail. I keep having to turn the phone
off and on in order to send it. Usually after i turn it back on
again i recieve one or two texts sent to me ages ago (which simply
didn't come through at the time). Also while the phone is playing
up like this, people who call me get put straight to answer machine.
WHY?!! Apart from this, everything else is great. Love the video

I've had a serious problem with my 6630 on Vodaphone UK. This has
also been experienced by other 6630 owners elswhere. The 6630 loses
network becuase it is too hesitant to handover to 2G when 3G network
coverage is poor. This means missed calls & heavy drain on battery
current for some reason. Apparently version 3.45 of the firmware
gives the option to switch off 3G. I sent the phone off to the Nokia
repair centre & it came back with the same problem. Iā?Tve contacted
Nokia three times, then Vodaphone UK about this, they say they will
only support firmware version v2.39 151 which does not have the
option to switch off 3G. Perhaps becuase they paid £billions
for the 3G licence so they are not too keen to allow people to switch
it off. The result is a phone that is totally unreliable & loses
coverage. I found a way round the problem at symbian-freak.com.
You can download 'Net monitor' from their site which gives the option
to switch off 3G. So I am not pleased with Vodaphone or Nokia. The
phone has been an absolute nuisance until I did hours of research
& found the solution myself. They have been of no assistance whatsoever
in helping me solve the problem. I'm sure most people will just
take the phone back & ask for their money back. I feel that these
two multi national corporations have let me down & only some enthusiastic
amateurs at symbian-freak.com provided me with the solution ! What
on earth are Vodaphone playing at treating customers like this ?
It's time Nokia released firmware v3.45 in the UK. Then at least
you could switch off the blasted 3G without having to download 'Net
monitor'. Now I've found a way to switch off 3G the phone works
fine & the battery lasts much longer no thanks whatsover to Nokia
or Vodaphone UK. This phone may have terrific features but it no
good if you can't rely on it as a phone ! Rating:

All the problems that people mention in these reviews are soooo

above the 1 key) n quickly press the star. 2. To autolock keys go
to tools > settings > security > phone and sim > autolock (code
is 12345) 3. To stop the phone freezing/restarting close some applications
as you go along. (there are probably some that you think you have
closed still open) Do this by holding the menu key for 2 secs n
pressing the c on each application. However, the phone is also automatically
set to restart when all network connection is lost. This rarely
happens unless you live in one of those areas where connection to

Got my 6630 free (Orange Premier contract). I've moved from the
3 network (from 'that' Nokia phone), so I'm currently experiencing
mobile-phone Zen :) I've never used anything other than Nokia, so
I really can't compare the usability of Symbian's OS against other
makes. I t does have its shortcomings (instability in low-mem situations)
but it Does The Job(tm). I have to seriously question the value
of a Word and Excel viewer on such a small device. It seems more
of a gimmick than a NUF (Nice Useful Function). If you like you
music though, this phone does a nice rendition of your favourite
mp3's. The supplied headphones are a slight let down, but if you
consider they are a freebie, their value becomes apparent. Mine
were replaced by nice Sony earphones (via a DIY job) which improved
clarity somewhat (not to mention being more comfortable to wear)
but still leaves bass sounding a little murky. Overall sound quality
is on a par with low-end standalone players. It seems Nokia have
worked out the earlier problems, unless I have just been lucky.
I was somewhat surprised to learn of Orange users problems. Back
in the day (well, a year ago) when I was with Orange I couldn't
fault them. Certainly they are now looking after me quite nicely.
For £55 monthly, I guess they should do. I've only awarded
4 stars because I feel Sybian could do better with their software
(literally, I could do better). Also, the supplied headphones were
(for me) unusable in their ear-chafing uncomfortableness. Rating:

Great phone, but once in a while couldn't read memory card. Maybe

Shall see how. On the other hand, there's a way to do the key lock
thingy. In fact 6630 does have an autolock feature, but in order
to unlock you need to input your security code, which by default
is 12345. just go to settings>security>phone and sim>autolock period(minute).
Overall, Software is so, so only. On the hardware the camera, bluetooth,
long lasting battery, speaker for phone & MP3 is great.Physical
wise it's easy to hold on,screen is big (I see it's even bigger
then Nokia 6600) & brilliant and lastly, the keypad is in good position.

Let's first seperate the hardware from the software. Let me start
with the software. Symbian are stupid. If you want to auto key lock
your phone you have to buy the %^&'ing auto key app from Symbian
for $5. I had that feature for free and installed on my 7250 and
I had one on a 7160 that I could not use on the 6630. Then you can't
deactivate the stupid welcome sound when you switch on the phone
which is damn loud and indiscrete. Also Symbian seems to take an
age to boot up . So those are the 3 things I hate the most. It seems
the operating system and the phone do not work as in unison as on
previous models (7250 etc) where you had good control over the phone
settings. Apart from that Symbian is actually a much better operating
system it just needs to start offering the same functionality that
people expect. Now for the hardware, I love it. A bit bulky and
ugly, but nice. MP3 player is great quality, speaker quality is
just above average. Reduced MMC card slot is the business. Data
transfer is nice and rapid. no infrared is not a loss with all the
other connectivity options. THIS IS NOT A PHONE FOR GAME LOVERS.
the 5 way scroll button makes it hard to play most games. I keep
getting kicked out a game because I pushed the centre part of the
scroll key. very annoying, but Im not a big game fan anyway. The
only spect to the phone I have not tried is 3G (still waiting for
my service provider to offer the service). Also I was dissapointed
that so many apps that worked on the 6600 and 7610 do not work on
the 6630. Oh one more bad thing - sometime the pC suite hangs the
windows XP explorer on my laptop and I have to reboot. Installing
apps is lightning fast with the supplied usb cable though. Camera
quality is good but ned some image stabilisation, video recorder
qaulity is not the greatest especially of you move - also needs
some stabilisation technology. Rating:

Once again Nokia leads the way!!. I bought this phone a couple of
days ago on contract with Orange, and not to put to finer point
to it, this phone really is amazing, I've always had Nokias. my
current phone being the Nokia 3650 phone, yea ok it was a good phone,
but the Nokia 6630 puts it well and truly in the shade in terms
of sound, graphics etc. This is the first phone I've had with MP3
ringtones, and I have to admit, I'm well impressed, the phone is
also very loud when set to the highest setting, I'm so glad that
Nokia have done away with the receiver speaker as the ringtone speaker,
there is now a separate speaker located on the top of the phone,
from which every sound of the phone plays though, the sound is clear
and crisp to, with none of that cheap tiny sound. On a whole the
Nokia 6630 is excellent value for money and built extremely well.
I have been comparing this phone with my old 3650 and it's just
wipes the floor with it, the video quality and sound quality is
truly amazing to say the least, It has a weighty feeling of quality
to it and it comes with loads of accessories, For people reading
the bad reviews of this phone you don't want to believe them who
say its rubbish, because it's not, ok it's not the easiest phone
to use, but then again it is a high end phone and it's not just
something you text your mate with, if you want a easy to use phone
then get a budget Nokia. A couple of quick pointers that I would
like to point out, if your wanting to put high quality video files
onto this phone then I would recommend ( MPEGABLE X4 LIVE ) , it's
a great peace of software and will give you ability to encode in
Mpeg 4, 3GP with stereo sound, it's good for the techys among us
who what to achieve CD quality sound and near dvd picture quality
which in my option is just what's needed for the 6630. The second
pointer is to do with the Vodaphone version of the Nokia 6630, if
you want to set your mp3 as ringtones, then you will lose out because
you cant, Vodafone have for some reason locked this feature out,
so if you want this phone to be as it should be then go with either
Orange or T-Mobile at time of writing they are the only 2 that support
this phone with all features. So my conclusion of this phone is
that's light years a head of another phones out on the market, the
battery life, the screen, ringtones etc are all amazing and very
impressive, I would recommend this phone to anyone. And one last
thing, the express on covers are the finishing touch. Rating:

the Nokia 6630. I am on a pay monthly contract with Orange. I wanted
to take the opportunity to throw in my opinion on this phone. Firstly,
the hardware. I like it. It is a nice size, shape and weight. The
only issue that I have is that the keys are small - very small -
and this makes using the phone one-handed difficult. Maybe I shouldn't
be trying to drive and text at the same time - who knows ! Now on
to the real problems that I have with the phone - the software problems.
Let me start by saying that if you want to use the phone for voice
calls, text messaging and using the camera, then this is great.
The problems start when you want to use the phone for more than
that - when you want to use the phone as Nokia would have you believe
that you can. Most of the issues that I have are niggles rather
than show stoppers, but at some point a whole heap of niggles becomes
a show stopper. Some of my issues are to do with the software on
the phone itself, but the biggest issues that I have are with the
software connecting the phone to the PC. Software on the phone My
issues with the software on the phone are : On my 6310i, within
the calendar, I used to be able to set a "call" item which had an
alaram associated with it. On the 6630, I cannot do this. I can
set a memo (no alarm), a meeting, or an anniversary. I wind up having
to set a meeting, but the number does not come up immediately for
me to call - which it did on the 6310i. On the To Do list, it is
not possible to set an alarm. Also on the to do list, it is not
possible to put in more information. For example, you might want
a To Do item of "Supermarket" and then be able to list the stuff
that you want from the supermarket. You can make a shopping list
as a note, but again - no alarm on the notes, and no way of associating
the note with the To Do item. Still on the To Do list (yes I have
been playing around with this !), you are stuck with the default
sort order, which is based on when the task is due. You cannot sort
on, for example, the priority, so that the high priority items appear
higher in the list than the low priority items. ALSO, you cannot
filter out items which have been completed. Once an item has been
marked as completed, it stays in the lsit unless you delete it.
It would be nice just to be able to see those items which are still
'current'. Finally, it would be good to be able to clear the entire
list without having to go through each item individually. Software
connecting the phone to the PC This is where my big issues come
in, and first on that list is synchronisation with my PC. It seems
that several people have had this issue, but I cannot find anything
anywhere telling me how to cure it. The first time that I connected
my phone to my PC (via Bluetooth) it worked - I managed to synchronise
my 6630 with Microsoft Outlook on my Windows XP PC. Since then it
has not worked whether I use Bluetooth or the USB cable to physically
connect the phone and the PC. A smaller issue is that the software
could be a bit cleverer about how it does the synchronisation -
ie: it could look in ore than one - for example, contact - folder
for contacts, and it could decide that some numbers can safely be
left on the PC without synchronisation, and some could be synchronised.
It is also frustrating that the phone lets me have groups of contacts
(a feature that I like, which the 6310i did not have), but from
within the Nokia PC Suite, I cannot 'see' these groups, and thus
cannot work with them - ie: create new ones, and change the members
of a group. That's it - that's my list of issues to date. It may
seem a lot, but most are niggles. The only one which I see as being
more than a niggle is the synchronisation issue. It seems that there
is software out there - Oxygen Phone Manager - which might solve
some of the problems that I have with the phone to PC software.
I haven't tried it yet, but probably will, even though I object
to having to pay more for something that the phone ought to do out
of the box. I have tried to get in touch with both Orange and Nokia
and about these issues have found them to be unknowledgable and
slow in replying. This seems to be reflected in other reviews. In
conclusion, annoyingly this phone has the potential to be great,
but it is let down by sloppy software. Rating:

I've upgraded from the Motorola V500 and was glad to get back to
Nokia. The phone isn't small but then again its not clumpy or bulky,
its slim enough to fit into your back pocket comfortably. After
having my play I think it's amazing, the ability to download mp3
music and edit with Fireplay and Musicplayer is amazing. The video
recording as also exceptional, even though my boyfriend hated it
when I chased him around the house. I will say the most anyoing
thing is the Automatic Find. Basically once you go into something
and dont exit out by using BACK all the way, and you decide to go
back into the program it goes back to the page you exited out of.
This also applies with Phone book which gets very annoying. Overall
excellent Phone.!!! Rating:

Due for an upgrade on my Nokia 7250i, I got somewhat beguiled by
the beauty of the Samsung D500. However, only after one day of using
the D500 I knew I had made a mistake changing from Nokia. I tried
to persevere but just 3 days after getting the D500 I was back in
the TMobile shop begging them to change it for the Nokia 6630. What
a GREAT move. The 6630 is a great phone and although it doesn't
look as pretty as the D500 it's just a classier number. At least
it can ring and vibrate at the same time, something that Samsung
just can't seem to master! I am not particularly technologically
minded so I will leave the techno garb to other reviewers! However
I do know that I am very pleased with the quality of the camera,
video and MP3 player. It has all the standard functions you come
to expect from Nokia plus lots of extras. I would highly recommend
this phone. Rating:

Orange contract customer.Camera is great. Orange 3g service is waste
of time it runs more like 14kbs and connection and is getting worse
with no support available from Orange, No support from Orange in
any way shape or form. Phone has many problems that customer support

If you want a reliable phone with good backup service AVOID ORANGE

To start off with i liked this phone, it has some good points, such
as connecting to the Pc for downloading or uploading of images and
mp3's is really easy, and although it is big ish, it is not too
big, and felt comfy in my hands, and i kinda like the syling too,
not too pimp looking, but is kinda cool to look at. Then on week
3 i had my first problem, the phone book simply vanished, and if
you typed in a number, the phone reset. notice someone else had
this. Got my new phone the next day off of T-mobile so wasn't too
bothered, but then i had my second problem all the games i had paid
for and downloaded which were on the memory card, and so i still
had, simply wouldn't load onto the new phone, i could see them,
but they would not open or install, this phone lasted about a week
before the same thing, next phone another week, and then the last
one about 3 days. Luckily T-mobile have allowed me to swap the phone
for another, so just waiting on a smsung D500 to come into stock.
Well i am disapointed that my phone broke so many times in some
respects cus i did like it, but the fact i can swap to a D500 now
is better, cus i have a few friends who have one and it is simply
a much better phone in most aspects, and is so much smaller too
with the same camera and same features pretty much and a better
screen. Also works which is important i feel. Rating:

I got this phone yesterday on Orange. It's awesome. I was worried
about the size and looks of the phone, but it's really not that
large and looks great. It takes some time to get used to the OS,
making the phone quite hard to use at first, but you do get used
to it. In addition, the phone is quite slow, but this is inevitable
given the amount of things it does and the number of applications.
The camera is slightly disappointing, but it is still very good.
My choice of a new phone came down to D500, V3 and 6630. I'm glad
I went for the 3G option with the 6630 - this really is a cut above
the rest and very much a look into the future of mobile technology.
The phone is by no means perfect but it is still an incredible bit
of kit. Rating:

either phone headphones are faulty or the phone is. Crashing - the
phone it self isnt crashing it rebooting if ur on 3g it will do
this often due to the way 3g works, it will also reboot if ur phone
is using to many programms (apps) at the same time simlar with a
pc run out of RAM and ur pc will freeze or reboot, to avoid this
close none essential programms when using the phone. Battery - remember
batteries are only under garrentee for 6 months after that they
start to degrade. Hot swappleble rs-mmc - there are bigger versions
of this at the moe i have only found 128mb however u can get an
addapter to use the original nokia mmc cards nokia 6600 ones for

OK - an update. Orange were no use - out of stock and no replacement.
They said they couldn't find the fault by running a remote diagnostic
and would refer it to their tech boys, but they never got back to
me. BUT, I tried the hard reset listed on this forum - worked like
a charm! OK, I lost everyting and had to set up the phone again,
but no big deal - the phone has been great since (NB: saving the
phone settings using the PC suite prior to the hard reset only restored
the bug in the software when I tried to re-install afterwards. TIP:
Back up your phone when it's running properly and if it goes belly
up, hard reset and restore the uncorrupted data from the PC.) Battery
takes a bit of a hammering when listening to music and browsing
for 45 mins to work and back twice a day - you'll only get 2 days
out of it. Lasts much longer when using it as a phone/camera while
sightseeing. MP3 player sounds great and better than I expected
- stereo sound is quite well balanced for treble/mid/bass through
the supplied 'phones despite no equalizer, but I'd like it better
if you could plug your own into a 3.5mm jack socket. I've got 16
tracks on my 64Mb card. I'll be getting a bigger card soon. Photo
quality is great for a phone, and 6x zoom works seamlessly - it's
just a shame I lost all my snaps when it died and needed a reset.
I don't much like the Orange theme for the phone, but I have set
it to the standard Nokia (already installed) and it's much better.
I looked at the Samsung D500 and I much prefer the feel and interface
of the 6630 now I have adapted from my N6100. My significant other
has the new Samsung Z107 which she loves and finds dead easy to
use and has the same interface as the D500, but I am glad I got
the N6630 as I feel the Samsung a bit toy-like and the Samsung PC
software is naff compared with the Nokia. The 6630 is quite a large
object, but the 6100 is there for taking to the pub. Don't be put
off - highly recommended now it's sorted. Thanks to the other forum

With pear-shaped curves, the 6630 is most of all reminiscent of
Nokia's second-ever smartphone, the 3650. Quite a different beast,
however, the 6630 is a superbly solid device with excellent build
quality and above-par ergonomics. In sleek grey and charcoal, the
6630 boasts a high-brigthness TFT display with the standard Series
60 resolution of 176 x 208 pixels which offers a suitably large
amount of screen estate with all of its 65,536 colours coming across
clear and crisp. As an added bonus, users can themselves adjust
brightness to the preferred level, ranging from bleak to glaring.
Its keypad is as pleasing in use as its chassis is on the eyes:
tactile feedback is excellent and all buttons are placed in a logical
manner - quite a feat, considering Nokia's knack for quirky keypads.
Apart from the required Series 60 keys, the left and right sides
respectively harbour voice dialing and power/profile selection buttons,
whilst the right side also holds a hinged plastic flip-protected
RS-MMC expansion slot. Moving onto the back of the device, we find
the super-size lens for the 1.23 Megapixel camera of the phone,
which performs with the clarity and aplomb we've come to expect
from Nokia. The only situation in which the camera doesn't take
comparably great pictures is under quite poor indoor lighting, and
so it should come as no surprise that Nokia's continuing ommission
of a photo flash continues to befuddle us. On the upside, video
recording appears vastly improved, and the 6630 can now record up
to one hour at a time - although the resolution remains 176 x 144
pixels, also known as QCIF. With 10 MB of user available RAM and
a bundled 64 MB RS-MMC card, there's a generous amount of space
available to store photos - but the 6630 hides a dirty little secret:
its RS-MMC slot only accepts 1.8 Volt cards, meaning users run the
quite tangible risk of having previously purchased RS-MMC cards
not be compatible with the 6630. In a word: D'oh! It's a good thing
Nokia decided to mitigate this by making memory cards truly hot-swappable.

What can I say I am stunned! This phone has truly raised the bar
of what is pheasably possible of the ultra modern sophisticated
phones for a busy business man. Although the internal memory(10mb,
However 64mb card is provided) and 65k colour screen are the only
things I could find wrong with this beautiful phone. In every other
department it excells or matches any phone on the market! The 1.23m
pixel camera is fantastic! The only other phone even comparable
is the Sharp GX30 and that phone is superior in all departments.
If I had to choose between them two phones i would choose the fabulous
Nokia 6630! Make this your number one christmas priority and believe
me it won't dissapoint! Rating:

I've been waiting for this phone for quite sometime now and finally
i have it. The features are really cool. the only complain i wanna
raise up is about the CD ROM that is included in the package.i was
thinking it's much better that it is also compatible with window
98 but it's not :-( when it comes to setting the theme of the phone,
6600 is much better. I also had a difficulty in connecting via the
serial cable.( maybe i did something wrong in the set up. HELP HELP
HELP!!! hope i can fix it). I'm used with infrared. To sum it up,
it's still the best phone of nokia. Rating:

Having just purchased this phone from what I can see from it is
that with the camera it is ok taking pictures in the daylight but
at night it looks grainy. Also the phone has locked up when I have
been going through some functions on the phone and the screen goes
white and switches off. The good side about this phone is the 3G
as it downloads a lot quicker than before. One other downside to
this phone is that it had no games when I purchased this phone I
had to download them besides these flaws the phone is ok but it
is up to you if you wish to purchase this phone or not. Rating:

This phone has taken, what seems an age, to get in to the palm of
my hand. I tried so hard, for so long, to get this and finally,
yes finally, I have it. It is amazing - a truely wonderful phone.
I'm not one of those "geeky" people who go on about specificatons
etc (if you want to know what it's got, have a look at Nokia website
- it doesn't lie), but I do know my way around these sort of technological
inventions. The camera is fantastic - evening in darkened places,
and everything about it is quick (downloads etc). I had a 7610 which
i liked but got bored of quickly - the camera on that was good,
but this is in a different league. Everything about this phone is
in a different league!!! I've had a fair few phones in my time,
but I have to say I will not be changing this one in quite some
time - I love it. The only negative point I would give it is that
it is a little chunkier than I thought it would be, but you soon
get over that very quickly. Rating:

N6630 really looks so nice. I have just bought a N6670 for some
days , it is also one of the most modern mobile now, but actually,
I wanted to sell it to upgrade to N6630 since it appeared in VN.
Forget all of others, take N6630 to enjoy the excelence. Rating:

Nokia 6630 is one of the most wonderful mobile phones I've ever
seen.I used to use Samsung X-100,then Nokia 6600,and Nokia 7200.When
I heard about Nokia 6630,I thought that this's the time I should
change my Phone.But in my country,It's too long to wait until it
appears.Therefore,I bought Sony Ericsson S700i.However,I think Nokia
6630 and SE S700i are both the most modern mobile phones in the
world now.If you choose one of them,I suppose that you've made the
best choice for your job and for your lifetime Rating:
