Reviewer: Hettie - Bristol, UK
Date: 7th May 2008

THIS PHONE IS AWFUL. FAULTY IN A NUMEROUS WAYS. Doesn't LET ME KNOW I HAVE AN ANSWERPHONE MESSAGE (OR EVEN the MISSED CALL OF the PERSON WHO LEFT the MESSAGE) UNTIL I PHONE UP VOICEMAIL & LOOK AT CALL HISTORY.

IT SWITCHES ITSELF OFF WHEN I TRY TO ACCESS DRAFTS (SO BASICALLY CANNOT ACCESS MY DRAFTS EVER) & WHEN I TURN IT ON, MESSAGE MEMORY ISNT READY FOR AT LEAST 10 MINUTES NO EXAGGERATION. IT LOOKS FLASH BUT THAT'S ALL ITS GOT GOING FOR IT. SHOULD HAVE PUT TWO & TWO TOGETHER THAT A PHONE WHICH IS SO SLIM WITH SEEMINGLY a lot OF FEATURES SIMPLY SHOULD NOT BE THAT CHEAP. IT COMES WITH A CATCH TRUST ME.

I bought this phone because it is so thin, but that was a mistake. I have set the volume to 10 (maximum) but it is a disaster. If you are outside, you will not hear properly, it's a terrible. If you want to buy it because it's cheap, think again, it's not worth it.

I like this phones design very much but the disadvantages are low memory & the phone hangs often.

I am thinking of buy one, because I want to have longer talk time phone. The specification tells me it lasts for 6 hours talk time. Anyone can tell me how long it can last? Thanks.

If you don't mind having to remove the battery every time you miss a call, then go ahead & buy this phone.

I have two 2630 both hang if a call is missed. Apparently this has something to do with notifications sent to the phone on the O2 pay as you go system. This is quite a common complaint of this model, run a Google search for Nokia 2630 hangs & in no time you should find loads of similar unhappy users.

I threw this phone away as I wouldn't inflict it on anyone else. The 2630 was useless, battery lasted two days on standby, couldn't see anything unless screen was on & it always went off if not pressing a button. Must be the worst phone ever produced.

Reviewer: Hh - UK
Date: 8th Apr 2008

Just got this slim, handy little phone but so far as I can see, no voice recognition, so why the Bluetooth? How do you make calls when otherwise busy? I don't need email, radio just a phone that works reliably & I can use hands-free. No VR, no use.

Reviewer: Omar - Slough, UK
Date: 6th Apr 2008

A very good phone. It has the easy to use Nokia Interface. Only drawback is that the memory is only 11MB & there is no external slot available. However, it is very light, I bought two to send to Pakistan. For around £40, you get some good features, VGA camera, Bluetooth, MP3 & Radio playback. It is a little slow when you first start up the phone, but afterwards it works fine.

Since it is a Nokia, you can easily unlock it for free from a website. There is a Vodafone 716 for £30, however, this will cost you £20 to £30 to unlock.

Hope this helped.

Reviewer: Daniel - Bogota, Colombia
Date: 2nd Apr 2008

I like this phone, it does not know too much, but easy to use & cheap, so I am not afraid of losing it.

I have minor problems with Bluetooth.
- There is no Information Synchronization service, you must download & use the Nokia PC Suite to synchronize
- Even with Nokia PC Suite I could not make a full backup.

It comes with Nokia BH100 headset, which is a headache (for me). It is very difficult to switch on & on, the activity led is hidden & shows no information about the status (switched on, connected, whatever).

I had problems with setting the volume during the call (maybe I am even simpler as the phone), the solution was to use the right & left navigation keys. The up & down navigation keys activate the assigned shortcut during the call.

Come on, get a hang of things guys. It costs £20 at Tescos. What more can you get. With a phone that comes at this price. It is a fantastic bargain.

Have problem with Nokia 2630 lose battery went back to shop (Carphone Warehouse) & got replacement no problem the problem it seems to me is in the design I.e. The battery keeps cutting out eventually failed to come at all (28 days after buying product) now going back to see if I can get other phone or replacement.

I am planning to buy one. Not sure whether my decision is right? Can anyone help me out in deciding?

Reviewer: Tanz - Gisborne, New Zealand
Date: 19th Mar 2008

Great phone, except the Bluetooth feature doesn't recognise my PC at all, can't get my pictures off phone & onto my PC, can't find any cable available that will transfer from my phone to a PC.

---

Reviewer: Ant Man - UK
Date: 16th Mar 2008

Great looking, slim & lightweight. The only drawback to this phone is lack of a memory card. But the internal 11MB is enough to have a handful of applications, games, & pictures. If you need to play music then get a separate MP3 player.

The features are vast for such a tiny phone, & the sound is great, actually. They keypad is surprisingly easy to find, with large buttons for those of us with big fingers, & a satisfying click when a key is pressed. Looks like the phone is built to last with its metallic & resin moulded shape.

For those people who are rating this as having low features, have you not found the menu button yet? It has calendar, calculator, voice recorder, stop watch, camera, video capture, Java games, web browser, media player, radio, messenger, Bluetooth, countdown timer, programmable alarm clock with repeating option for optional days on & off. To do, email, etc.

All on a big bright display. It CAN play MP3 files & other digital music files, too. But you can't store many, it's really only used for setting a ringtone.

Just got it, it is OK nothing special. Only let down is the limited memory & no memory card slot. GREAT VALUE PHONE WITH EVERYTHING.

---

Reviewer: Dick - Cape Town, South Africa
Date: 15th Mar 2008

Do not buy this phone. This phone is clear evidence that Nokia have lost the plot.

Its snail slow, no make that tectonic plate movement slow, tiny memory, unintuitive, which was Nokia's only superiority, because they have always been unreliable with poor PC software.

It's worth about 5 quid if that, & frustrating to use. After making phones for so long I am surprised that Nokia can make such rubbish. No stars at all.

Reviewer: Dr Giridhar - Ireland
Date: 10th Mar 2008

Worst phone I have ever seen, poor sound & screen resolution, worst keypad, I wonder if this is from Nokia.

Reviewer: Basith - Chennai, India
Date: 3rd Mar 2008

It is very slim but it has a big problem that is it does not have a memory card.

---

Reviewer: Charlie - New Zealand
Date: 22nd Feb 2008

At last a phone slim enough to carry in a shirt pocket. I was looking for a cheap phone with Bluetooth & this fits the bill perfectly. Solid resin type body & the battery cover is metal (so no broken tabs).

Reviewer: Matthew - Penzance, UK

Nice slim phone, nice style, poor memory needs to get a memory card thats the only bad thing about it.

Reviewer: Kemi - London, Nigeria
Date: 21st Feb 2008

I don't like the phone at all, my mum just buy it for my birthday present & when I send 4 songs to the phone, I am having problem, if a want to receive a message the phone will write not enough memory to receive message, & I cannot even take a picture, & that is the first day, so I am thing of returning the phone & get another one.

---

Reviewer: Rakshak - India
Date: 18th Feb 2008

The phone is good but people beware IT HAS A TERRIBLE BATTERY LIFE. Really, I mean I just talked on the phone for half an hour & the battery went off. Seriously, the battery performance is driving me crazy.

---

Reviewer: Tom - London, UK
Date: 18th Feb 2008

This phone, although it looks flimsy can handle quite a lot of tough treatment. I got it & the same day whist showing it to my friend he dropped it on tarmac, & nothing happened! Not a scratch! The only thing it lacks is memory as I was hoping for a little more than 11MB, but apart from that a brilliant phone & a must buy!

Reviewer: Mick Wilson - London, UK
Date: 13th Feb 2008

What a wonderful little phone, it's so easy to use light & not expensive, £39.99 from O2.

The battery life is a huge improvement on my old N80, I have actually managed 2.5 hours of talk time on a single charge.

The VGA camera & limited memory are it's only drawbacks.

Reviewer: Coocoo - UK

Just purchased the Nokia 2630. Can anyone tell me why the phone does not display the caller's number? This can be very frustrating especially if it's a missed call.

Hi, I am using this phone from last two weeks. Its shape is very attractive but the Battery timing is very pure. If anyone want good battery then never purchase this phone.

Reviewer: Md Ali - Dhaka, Bangladesh
Date: 20th Jan 2008

A VERY SLIM & FASHIONABLE mobile phone. THOSE WHO are NOT Fussy ABOUT MEMORY CARD CAN BUY this phone. IT HAS 11MB IN BUILT MEMORY, I THINK IT'S WORKABLE FOR NORMAL USERS.

Reviewer: Katherine - Hamilton, New Zealand
Date: 14th Jan 2008

I like the design of this phone, it has all the features I need, & find it easy to use in general although I haven't worked out how to get it to put my sent text messages in the sent items.

However the first one I bought only lasted 3 days before it stopped working. It has been replaced although I had to courier it back to the shop I bought it from as the local franchise wouldn't replace it. This one seems OK but it did freeze today but went again after taking out the battery. Will be interested to see how others perform.

Reviewer: Paul Morris - Invercargill, New Zealand
Date: 14th Jan 2008

The Nokia has a good range of basic features, appropriate to its lower price. In New Zealand it's $149 on special. Its very light weight 66 grams, makes it a breeze to carry in the pocket, & it's very this at 9mm. The buttons, while not large, allow convenient operation. The screen is very clear & a good size for this price range. The radio is clear & easy to swap from station to station. As a basic phone for making & receiving calls & texting, it is really good.

Reviewer: James - Kerala, India

It is wonderful but one problem, no memory card.

---

Reviewer: Mike Howles - Wales, UK
Date: 12th Jan 2008

If, like me you want a phone that's got some, if not all of the big phone features then this is definitely the phone for you. It's small, slim, nicely designed & is easy to use.

On PAYG it is very cheap & really does the job. I can text, phone, photo, video, Bluetooth, radio, play games till my hearts content.

I would recommend it if you want the features without all the bells & whistles.

Reviewer: Guillie Tabernilla - Manila, Philippines
Date: 12th Jan 2008

The Nokia 2630 is not that sensitive as what they said. My Nokia 2630 was fell on a tiled floor about 4 feet high & saw it fell but to my surprised after checking it there was one scratch on the top right corner. I tried fixing it & the scratch disappeared because it's made of aluminum.

I love my Nokia 2630 & happy with it. For such a low price it won't have a memory card but I don't need a memory card because 11 mb of memory is enough for me. Without memory card I gave it a 90% but with FM Radio, Bluetooth, GPRS, Video, Camera & for being so thin, light & small in my pocket it's the best design ever by Nokia. Why go for expensive models when I have my digital camera because photography is my hobby. So, I suggest you go for the Nokia 2630.

Reviewer: Shreyas S Muthe - India
Date: 10th Jan 2008

It's a cute little thing, with such a killer & dashing design it can impress anyone. Very sleek & stylish loved by everyone. & the best it's highly economical. But nothing is perfect is very truthfully said the phones battery is not very much long lasting as compared to other Nokia handsets. But no worries it's an excellent e-friend.

Reviewer: Subh - Delhi, India
Date: 4th Jan 2008

Can anyone tell me about the phone's screen quality as I've heard a lot that its screen is quite sensitive & is not durable at all. I was planning to purchase one soon. So please help me ASAP.

Reviewer: Stefan Gutnick Allen - France
Date: 25th Dec 2007

I just got this phone, & it seems very good, & of a great quality. It's very easy to use, the only usability issue I have had is that once the language randomly switched to German. I must have forgotten to lock the keypad!

The screen is bright & colorful, the camera takes amazing photos, however you can't record very long videos with it.

It is the perfect phone for a younger person's first phone. I really recommend it.

---

Reviewer: Anam Ghani - Delhi, India
Date: 23rd Dec 2007

The phone, though it has good looks. Has little memory & bad quality of the camera. Has really made me hate this phone! Though it's cheap. But trust me. Buying something like 3110 classic might the better.

I had worked in Oman for 12 years & in Saudi Arabia for 11 years & I had used a series of Nokia but when I saw the new Nokia 2630 Model last December. I bought it because of its amazing design. It's so thin & small with 11 Mb of memory & with features for such a low price. Best design ever by Nokia!

Reviewer: Jesse - Turkey

My friends suggested 6300 & I bought this awesome machine, now they can't believe to this telephone's great design, features & cheap price. If you've a MP3 player & camera apart like me you don't need to pay those silly expensive models, this the best you can buy. It is really a great mobile phone!

Just bought this. I can't believe that a phone with WAP, GPRS & so on, doesn't have a basic function one can find in all phones since 3210, YOU CAN'T ASSIGN TONES TO CONTACTS IN the ADDRESS BOOK! This really is bad!

Bought 2630 2 weeks ago, since then friends have traded in their phones & bought 2630, even got offered a 6300 in a swap. Lovely & slim & light, for a phone under £50 this is best one you can get in my opinion.

It's awesome in terms of design & features, it is also a user friendly gadget, but hey! I just bought it after 2 days well I never! The LCD cracked down, it's very sensitive especially it's LCD, I never enjoyed it after all! & spent another cost for its part. Just be careful of using it!

When I bought the Mobile the shop keeper said it was made in Finland. Unfortunately I did not check it, but I bought. In turn when I opened at home for use, it revealed that it was made in CHINA. No Idea how long it will work.

After reading the reviews of others I have doubt on the life of mobile. I like the design & the Price.

Hey guys,

I live in the US but currently in europe. This is what the Nokia europe website says.

- Dual-band GSM 850/1900
- Dual-band EGSM 900/1800

In the US, we have the first 2 bands, but from what I read on some other sites including this site, it says this phone is only 900/1800. Any suggestions on what to believe & do you think I should purchase this here in europe or will this phone come to the US also?

Thanks in advance.

Reviewer: Malathy - Chennai, India
Date: 1st Oct 2007

Hi, I had purchased a 2630 Nokia mobile on 29th September. I was very happy with the model & the features. It was extraordinary when compared to its values. I was using the phone happily, on 30th September, after receiving a call, I wanted to call back on a number, while having it in mu hand itself, I found that there was no display.

When I took back to the shop where I purchased the mobile, they said that I would have dropped the phone. But 100% I DID NOT. Finally they said that since it was a feather touch phone & LCD display, the display would have broken if I had pressed it hard. I was really shock to hear it. They would not replace the handset because they said it was a physical damage. I am sure I haven't even pressed it.

I had used many series of Nokia mobiles, but this was the first mobile which was that sensitive.

Reviewer: Behzad - Iran
Date: 3rd Sep 2007

Dubbed the Barracuda, Nokia's new 2630 mobile phone (right) is the company's thinnest phone to date, measuring in at approximately 0.4 inches thick. The entry-level phone also comes with Bluetooth, a built-in camera & all your basic media features (including an FM radio & MP3 ringtones).

Its sibling, the 2760, ups the stakes by adding GPRS, video recording & video playback. The phones will debut in Q3 of 2007 for $115 (2630) & $122 (2760). Personally, I'd go for the sister (the 2760) if I had to choose, although the 2630 does look good.
