Dear Friend,if U r a nokia fan go for N6630,
if u like SE then try SE K750i,
if U like Symbian os get Panasonic X700 or X800,
if u don't mind Windows mobile try O2 Xphone II,Krome IQ200 or IQ700,
All phones are around 18K.If U r still planning for bsnl's 3G in Jan'06 or Hutch's 3G probably in Apr'06,U have only 6630/6680/N70/N90/3250/N91.
For 13.5K N6630 is a steal,no doubt(I'm a unlucky guy got it for 27.5K in Nov1st 2004)

Yes Mr.Mobile Greek,U R right,6630 is a gr8 phone,no doubt.But I've upgraded to N90 since 7 wks.Now,I have N90,SE W800i and 7710,each r great in different ways:
N90: Probabaly the Best Camcoder,no phone can come near it, in addition to usual symbian advantage,
W800i: Classic Music player(Excellant equalizer) with an advantage of self start of playing song as soon as the call is over(This facility is NOT there even in highest grade available nokia phones.)
N7710: Extraordinary performance with real net browsing experience with built in flash,stereo mp3,FM,1MP camcoder,
In addition I have few LG and Samsung mobiles(B2000,X430,N3330,6610i and my favourite 5110i)

Iam thinking about 6630 because I want the future proof 3G phone. Is Nokia 6630 has any software issues? Iam already having many problems with my Nokia 3230, So I dont want to do the same mistake again!

I had problem of restarting with n6630(v3.45) with my bluetooth headsets(HDW-3,HS-11W and Jabra BT250v).I think,now v5.01 is available which may not have such problems.(I've sold my 6630 recently)

Dear Friend,still I rank 6630 is the best mobile value for the money we pay.Restarting must be a FW issue which should be alright with latest FW,v5.01.U can check with ur dealer for the latest update.
If U can get a 'Finland' piece from some of ur friend or relative from abroad,it will be nice.
My piece may be faulty so that I've encountered some problems,that too only during connection with BT headset,otherwise everything is Fine.

Guyz thanks for your effort and fast replys.

Plz tell me the 6680 & 6681's current price.

I have heard that a 6630 package also contains macro lens attachment, belt clip, data cable! Is that right?

Is 1.8 volts cards which is used in 6630 is easily available for future upgrades?


@VK123
No I don't want the supercam coz I already have a Sony Digicam and Handycam for that super quality shots. I only want the 3G + Edge + Battery Life and stable firmware.
