The Nokia 6630 is my current cell phone. It was, I believe, Nokia’s first “3G” phone. It’s basically a Series 60 phone, but much faster than all the ones before (my previous one was the N-Gage QD (a very underrated phone, BTW) and the 6630 is more than twice as fast).
The 1.3 Mpixel camera is very good (for a 1.3 Mpixel camera, that is), and it was certainly useful in my last holidays. 
It finally has a usable web browser, although I still prefer (and bought) Opera. Many people (less gadget-inclined) will disagree, but Opera 8.0 on this phone is usable for normal operation, not just a gimmick (“look, I can see web pages in my phone!”) – for instance, I approved comments and posted in one of my other blogs during the last weekend… near the mountains, 300 km from home, and far away from any computer.
What don’t I like about it? It sucks for action games. After about a year using the N-Gage’s great D-pad, the 6630′s is a joke – well, it’s certainly not a gaming phone, I understand, but the hardware is there, and other newer phones like the Nokia 6680 have better directional pads, so why did Nokia ruin the 6630 as a gaming platform like this? Especially when it’s much faster than the N-Gage, and games run much smoother (and look better on the brighter, clear screen)? Oh well, there’s still strategy games like Ancient Empires…

Hi
I have a 6630 as well but i have a question; Do you know what is the purpose of the LED-like-thing on the top right hand side of the front of the phone??
Thanks
[...] Reading them in a mobile phone or PDA, then, is the logical answer (a laptop is still too “PC-like”, with all its myriad distractions; when you can do everything, sometimes it’s hard to focus on just what you need to actually do). I currently use a Nokia 6630, which I’ve had for more than a year. I’ve tried several aggregators, and also the mobile Bloglines, which is accessed through a web browser such as Opera, and, while they work well, they’re too slow and cumbersome for my tastes. Therefore, I used a combination of newspipe (to convert posts from feeds to email messages) and Profimail (to access a mailbox through IMAP). Recently, I’ve dumped newspipe for rss2email, for reasons I’ll mention in a future post, and that’s what I have right now. [...]
