From the Mobile-review review:
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 accessory (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.
I'm sorry, but doesn't this defeat the whole purpouse of a 3G phone?
Not only that but "that is a niche function for the moment." means to me that you'll need to buy yourself a new 3G phone when 3G takes off!
No, sorry Nokia, the lack of that camera is reason enough for me to stay clear of the 6630. I can't see why who ever I'm talking to could have any interest in seing what the wall next to me looks like.

well I never use videocall anyway...

I don't have one yet (I've decided to get the mighty Nokia 7710 just after christmas), but I played with one for a few minutes at my local Nokia dealer.To be honest I don't particulardly like its shape.The buttons are ok and the picture quality acceptable for printing in 3x2 mini format.It has lots of functions but no wifi (unfortunately).The thing impressed me most is its size.Or rather the lack of it.If you are used to a somewhat outdated shape (Pxx, 7650 etc) it will take a while to get used to.I personally prefer a "bigger" device.Oh yeah the speed is also good.Menu browsing and opening is lighting fast.I hope the battery is not going to suffer to much.
Posted by Leks
hmm, i think the menu is slow...
Posted by mario2002
OK. If the menu is slow take it back to your local Nokia dealer and ask him to upgrade the software ! About 5 months ago nokia released demo models of the 6630 not ment for sell.Some dealers are selling them though and to make matters worse they don't even bother to upgrade the software.Take the cell back and let the dealer know you will email Nokia.You may end up getting it for a bargain !
Posted by Leks
ah, now i see. after u have opened the menu etc once then its must faster

Quite a impressive camera... I must say!
And the phone is not a big as I thought...
Has anyone got that flash accessory for the 6630- I wanna see how good it is compared to those LED 'flashes'

Some bad news about the 6630:-
taken from russellbeattie.com
Another thing, I was completely surprised that I couldn't take my 512MB RS-MMC out of my 7610 (that Nokia also leant me)and pop it into my 6630. I was warned, but I didn't believe it until I tried it. Yep, Nokia's changed memory standards again and are now using a DualVoltage Reduced Size Multimedia Card (DVRS-MMC).
Oh. My. God.
And people call the MemoryStick proprietary? You can't even 'buy' this memory!!!! Arrrgh. So I'm stuck with the 64MB of RAM that came with the phone,and even though I can hot-swap it out, I have nothing to swap it with. I can deal with this stuff... But the worst thing is something I just discovered last night. I was chatting on Agile Messenger and I swapped over to Opera to look something up and Agile disappeared. It was as if I was low on RAM or something. 'That's strange,' I thought, 'I use two or three apps at once all the time on my 6620...' That's when I found out this morning that Nokia only put 7MB of usable RAM on the phone. The 6620 has something like 30MB and the N-Gage has something like 12MB.
Just to warn you of the memory problems if anyone was thinking of getting this phone...

S700i has a better camera ......
Posted by k700nut
Decent quality pics...but only 8mb ram is horrendous!
Posted by Dragonfly_TP
yes the memory is a problem. The good thing is, the Nokia 6630 is very fast with java! I uploaded benchmark score of 6288 (www.jbenchmark.com) this is the highest score. The nokia I use is vodafone branded, but you can use the standard nokia theme or download new themes. The camera is great, best if seen besides the camera in the Sharp GX30. Sorry for this, but the camera is better than the camera of the S700i.
The memory is a problem. To keep as much memory free internally, you should install your programs and media on the memory card, but if you swap your memory card for another (when you can find the right one to buy), you miss your programs. Better save up for a big card. I saw on internet shops 256mb aviable and 512mb next year, but no DV RS MMC in local shops.

It's not an opinion but fact that the 6630 has better camera than the S700i. Look it up on the internet! Anyway I will post some images here later. How do I get them to post at full size?

Dragonfly_TP:
6630 has got no better cam then
s700, you can say that the quality of 6630 cam can be comparable to s700 cam. Although the s700 has got much more imaging options and certainly has got the best display screen. I like 6630 for its features but the shape is horrible cam is the best among all other Nokia phones. 
Posted by Chazzer3
I really want to get this 6630, I've had a go and the camera is exceptional, way better than when I played with the S700!
Also the fact that it is an MMC phone, means more than 128mb, and since you can already buy 512mb MMC's they say soon there will be 1GB ones, this is also symbian.
Overall this is a great phone, and I am definitely looking to buy one as soon as possible, way over the S700, and after the K700i I have been put off SE quite a bit, Its a good phone, but the battery ruins it.
Thanks, Charlie.

Just wanted to correct a few things.
It has 10mb on board memory.
It uses DV-RSMMC meaning that the RSMMC you bought for you7610probably wont work with the phone.
I plugged my 256 mb to find that out the hard way.
Its not another format, its just an updated rsmmc that uses less power aparantly.
Look out for my review in 1-2 days.

Hi i think i should ad some thig as well, I just got one on vodafone Uk
Only thing i would say that you may not be able to play videos
at 300kbps with 20fps on S700i. You can with 6630, i have S700i as well as P910i. I would say its a really good handset from nokia. 220 Mhz processor handels multimedia really well. Downloading is fast enough with vodafone 3G.
Best regards.

6630 har 220 mhz prosessor unit.. but NOKIA 9500 has only 150 mhz.. are they stupid or what
Nokia = LOOOOOOSSSER..
Posted by Paul McLaren
The Vodafone models are locked so you can't add anyseries 60 apps to it and mp3 ringtones don't work.
Will need to be unlocked and flashed, or get it on another network.
Posted by amnesia
you can add applications to the phone on vodafone, Go to the app manager, open settings, there is a menu for installation, move it from off to on. Simple.
Worked when I did it for a friend anyway.

Some more pics taken with 6630
Posted by Chazzer3
The camera quality looks brilliant, I am a bit confused about this memory card, I have found a website that is selling 512mb RS-MMC's and in the list of supported phones is the 6630, but it mentions nothing of the Dual Voltage???
I will post a link when I get back to my own computer!
I think this is a good phone, especially the cam, and the size is great for it considering its cam, 3G etc, and the symbian is good!
Thanks, Charlie.

I have the nokia 6630 and the S700i they are both good phones... They have advantages and disadvantages!!!!
Nokia 6630 is better then the 7610 and 6670, its much faster then them. The menu is quick. The cam is of good quality, not as many settings available when taking the pic!!!
Anyone here been able to unlcok their phone and also anyone using the 3 network??? If so does anyone have any information on this please.
Cheers
ENJOY

just to address a few issues from above...personally, video calling is a gimmick...we (cpw the company) did a survey a few weeks back about this, and there were alot of people who said they weren't bothered about it, so id say nokia were right..you don't buy a 3G phone primarily for video calls..period...2nd point...the issues that russ raised regarding the phone, are not apparent on the handset i have...i have the latest agile messenger and opera, plus netfront 3.2. and i can leave agile messenger open, while using opera or netfront...my handset is sim free, and im using a normal 02 sim card...and i got to say, for some reason, when im using gprs, its much much faster than my previous phones...the 610, 6600, p900...absolutely amazing...i know the processor is a 220mhz chip, but still..its like lightening...amazing...

Cool looking phone. Dual Voltage rs-mmc card, what are the voltages and what sites actually know the difference when selling 512MB? Also need a definative answer on Edge and 3G bandwidths: Edge on 1900/850mhz, and is 3g on same bands? I want 2 use this fone in Canada. Thanks.
Posted by Prom1
Ah so found out voltage is 1.8 & 3v. Is the menu presentable in list view or only icons? Also, how many frames/sec. Is video playbak and recording?
Posted by korbindallis
