4.0 out of 5 stars Good basic phone for the price. Not without blemishes., November 10, 2008

This review is from: Nokia 2630 Unlocked Phone with Camera, and Bluetooth--U.S. Version with Warranty (Black) (Wireless Phone Accessory)

I bought this phone as a replacement for my Nokia E51 business smartphone. I know this choice sounds odd. I just accidentally dropped my E51 in water and needed an inexpensive phone I can use before I can get a free upgrade from AT&T.

This phone is slim and build quality is good for the price. As for the low call/speakerphone volume, you can actually increase it (and it gets really loud). I assigned the "volume" function to one of the keys (Settings > My Shortcuts) and now can adjust the volume (even while you talk). Reception is above average.

What's not so good about this phone is its grainy low resolution low color depth screen. It reminds me of one of the first phones I had back in the early 2000s. And of course, its basic functionality and lack of many features. However, if you need a phone to make/receive calls, this little phone is right for you.

UPDATE!!!! There is another thing about this phone that annoys me much - you'll get a lot of dust and other particles between the screen and screen cover. Considering the screen is already far from being perfect, this makes it just the worst phone screen ever. Giving it two stars not four.

5.0 out of 5 stars Value for the Money!, May 14, 2009

Ford Ka (Edinburgh, Scotland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Nokia 2630 Unlocked Phone with Camera, and Bluetooth--U.S. Version with Warranty (Black) (Wireless Phone Accessory)

This is my absolute favorite! It is slim and light, fits in any pocket (jacket or jeans), and the battery is enough for a week (if you don't talk all the time, naturally).

However, I use it mainly to take calls and I don't use any functions apart from calling and txt messages. It allegedly has a radio and camera but I have never tried to use either and I don't think I ever will. You can browse the internet with it but although the screen is fairly big and bright I would not recommend it too seriously unless you need a weather forecast or currency exchange rates. It does have games as well but if you're choosing your mobile to play games, how 'bout getting a life?

Very decent materials, after three months of using not a trace of wear and tear. Nokia software is a league of its own but then if you had one Nokia you move on to the next and you don't look at others. And you don't need anyone trying to convince you how good it is. I have always asked for the cheapest Nokia there was and I have never complained.

This is a phone for adults - you won't impress anyone with it. If you think your sex appeal needs some accessorizing, you may not find this one your perfect choice. In other words - if you need a phone, it is the perfect choice. If you need a lot of other stuff as well, it probably is not.

This is a great phone. Reception is very good. The screen is great, and it is easy to see in direct sun. It is small and light and the buttons are easy to use. The battery lasts for nearly a week.
