Nokia 6630
I'm sincerely grateful to those forum users that drew attention to the
diversity of Nokia 6630 and other phones and made us commit researches
in the field. I'll note that the acquaintance with Charlie happened
long ago and in quite a confusing manner.
The first delivered device didn't turn on at all and the received instructions told to run the last version of Phoenix, so it took some more time to receive it. The experience in revitalizing the dead one was not a successful one and the smartphone refused working. On the release of the 3 hardware version the device could have been turned on and worked acceptably.
The announced camera similar to the one used in Nokia 7610 was absent there. The first impression of the phone was gained, the cover letters were read and the device got on the shelf. That happens with the devices that are not of any interest and our phone seemed a version of already existing ones. And that's why I'd like to thank once again those who tried to reveal the differences in their posts. Nokia 6630 is a today leader of the company's product line. The design is comparatively unusual, thus on the bottom end we see small ovals resembling similar ones in younger models (Nokia 3650/3660).
That's curious that the device changes much with a red interchangeable panel and resembles Nokia 3660 much, I doubt this comparison is to its good. In any case the device is usually delivered in two calm colour solutions and in particular they are Aluminium Grey, Light Green. DualVoltage RS-MMC cards are used here to prolong battery life. And if the cards we are used to work with a voltage of 3W then cards in Nokia 6630 with 1.8W. A card of 64 MB is included into a delivery package and changing the card for some more capacious will be hard in the nearset future. Third party manufacturers do not produce DV RS-MMC cards and Nokia offers only 64 Mb ones. That's not enough for today and some improvements may be expected only in the first quarter of the next year, third party cards will appear in March or a bit later.
That's curious that we didn't manage to find even 64 Mb cards by Nokia in retail networks and evidently due to the absence of the phone they are not demanded much. Fortunately, we had a prototype of another manufacturer's phone at our disposal that was supplied with a 256 MB DV RS-MMC card. The phone can see the card and works well with it. We'll note the card used had some limitations and was not a commercial product. That's why the only conclusion may be done that the phone is capable of working with such cards and no any problems will appear in future, the main thing is that more capacious cards should appear. We see that in some tests Nokia 6630 has double or triple advantage. That is mostly thanks to a faster processor, here it has a 220 MHz operating speed (ARM 5).
For comparison, in Nokia 7610 operating speed of an ARM4T processor is only 123 MHz. Widening of system memory area plays it role here. disk D has 8758 KB against 1403 in Nokia 7610. The phone as no evident rivals for the moment. Just think yourself that is the fastest device with maximum capabilities. The absence of the second camera for vide calls is explained with two reasons. First, there are not so many 3G phones now and a camera even increases their price. Second, those who really want to use the possibility make most of the calls from their offices or homes and that's why a special acces sory (a camera with a holder) was represented. The absence of the second camera may not be considered a disadvantage, that is a niche function for the moment. In the middle of the next year a renewed Nokia 6630 will appear and it'll be equipped with the second camera and more memory. The price for Nokia 6630 will be about $650 when the sales start.
And in a month it'll get about $600-$610. The difference of about $100 will always be kept between the model and Nokia 6670, so we shouldn't expect Nokia 6630 to get cheap soon. The product is the leader and it'll have a long life cycle. The device will be comparable with Nokia 7650 in its life time. In general a real choice of smarthones for one's needs appeared in the market. If you need a touchscreen and similar functions you mat buy a more expensive Sony Ericsson P910. If data input and easier navigation are not principle and the device is used for viewing data, seldom editing, the data is loaded from a PC then Nokia 6630 is the best.
