So SORRY to correct you Mark but I think you got it mixed up. 6260 is the WORST nokia phone model(It's not even designed by Nokia but by BenQ) while 6630 is one of the BEST to date.
Try visiting mobile phone reviews like [Only registered and activated users can see links] etc. etc. to further enlighten you on this matter.

Why don't you want the 7610? It has the design shapes of the 72** series, but far more options (1MP camera, symbian etc etc).. In my opinion this one has the best of both sides-> good looks and good functions (ok, not as good as the 6630, but it doesn't make that big difference)

I think it is a wise idea for you to first ask people the best phone to buy. It will give you an idea as to what Nokia model you will end up buying in the end.

But you also have to consider other factors:

1. Your budget.
2. The features you are looking for.
3. The physical appearance of the phone

If you have enough budget to buy an expensive phone, and if you are looking for the best features, and if you are OK with somewhat bulky phone-shape, then I highly recommend Nokia 6630. That's the best Nokia phone today, well, next to 7710.

ok...here some updates....for my personal experience and my friends....i recommend u go for 6630 ... because
1.when u exchange ur rs mmc card with ur friends, u do not need to switch offf and take out batt like 7610..
2.after u exchange rs mmc, all the menu files will not mess after u insert back ur own mmc card but 7610 will encounter this trouble, all menu files messy. u need rearranged all the icon...that really give me uncomfortable..

Hi Guys maybe i tink that guy is tryng to say 6620 is the best fone & not 6260 is better den 6630. Juz wanna warn u guys abt b4 buying 6630. i got myself a 6260 last week was abt to sell it off & get a Panasonic X700, but wen i try my smart movies with a not so gd grahic format guess wat it lag more den my previous N-Gage QD, although the camera is better den my 6260 but it is still a 300k pixel vga camera with a new Mini SD Card as Memory Card, so i decided to buy nokia 6630 wen i saw a guy beside it juz purchase it, but luckily i do abit more research which made me stick wif my 6260. Belows is the thingy i found beside the rsmmsc card we cant use but got to change a new dvrsmmc (dual voltage rsmmc) which Biggest memory in the market is only 64mb.

:D For my 6260 i'm using a 512 rsmmc with no prob to the apps & it got a stereo speaker, it only bad thing is it design which is very fragile & it has low batt life span. Other den this two this is a very gd phone with (from wat i heard is it a design is done by Benq & not by nokia, Not so sure abt it abt the design thingy.) Maybe 6620 is actually better den 6630

Here is the extract from the forum.

:shock: :roll: :x :shock: :? :( :evil: :twisted: :shock: :? Since Nokia handed this phone off to me the other day for free (I LOVE YOU CHARLIE!) I've been completely enraptured with it. Having used pretty much every Nokia Series 60 phone to date I can really feel the improvements. The 200Mhz ARM5 processor makes the screens zip and makes taking pictures painless, and more. The internet connectivity is definitely *fast*, the difference is night and day from the Nokia 6620. (Though when I went to DSL reports I was only getting around 112kbps down and 80kbps up - so I'm not sure if I'm using EDGE or actual UMTS connectivity... I *think* the latter, but I'm not sure. My Moto got up to 256kbps so I'm a bit confused.) With the speed increases in both processor and net connection, the tweaks to the OS, great camera and video and the integrated apps, I'm in love with this phone. It's great.
Sorta.

See, you didn't expect Nokia to finally give you everything you ever wanted in a mobile phone, did you? Noooo... of course not! Why would you upgrade then! Leave you wanting more, that's Nokia's motto! I get it now! If you got all the features and functionality you expected in a mobile phone, you'd never bother to buy another one would you? Yes, as par for the course, there's some fatal flaws even in this incredible, cutting edge phone.

First, Sync still sucks, but I wasn't expecting otherwise, so that's okay. Then there's the email app - even though it's been updated to check on schedule - still sucks big time. I tried to use it with my IMAP server and it was unusable. And this seems to be a selling point of the phone... obviously the marketing department didn't actually use this feature. But, again, that's okay, because Profimail exists, so no biggie.

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 Dual Voltage Reduced Size Multimedia Card (DVRS-MMC). Oh. My. God. And people call the Memory Stick 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. (Can you see the tears welling?)

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. You can see the charts above of the available memory with only FExplorer running.

Insane. Abso-****ing-lutely, mind-bogglingly insane.

Advanced Processor, advanced 3G networking, advanced OS (Symbian 8.0a), and enough RAM to only run one app at a time. I am astounded. Amazed. Chagrined. Angry! I spent Friday expounding on the phone's virtues, deriding the Danger Hiptop and Blackberry as not being worthy and got three (count them) coworkers to order the phone on the spot. Now I have to explain that, yeah... you can have it checking mail, but if you want to run the chat app at the same time, don't expect it to work like you'd expect.

Was it really worth it to Nokia to save the, say, $4 extra per phone it was going to cost them to skimp on memory this badly? On a $500+ device? I mean it's so asinine it's incredible. This phone was *that* close to being perfect.

-Russ

Update: So I'm doing some more testing. I've got AgileMessenger, ProfiMail and Opera running (with a big page loaded up) and I've got about 3.0MB left over, so it seems it's more than possible to run a few of the core apps you want to at the same time. I wonder if one of them has a memory leak or balloons up in memory size over time for valid reasons? Very possible. I think more testing is needed, but I still think it sucks that there's not more RAM on board.

Also, I got it confirmed that I'm not using UMTS data - the frequencies don't match what's on the phone. But the 6630 *is* getting faster data rates than my 6620, so something is up. Either it's a better EDGE phone or the processor speed is somehow helping data transmission throughput or something.

although the new series 60 (6630,6260) phones r good they still arent as good as previous phones like 7610 and 6600. but this is just my opinion.
reasons why
not many applications r compatible with the new symbian os version 8 (correct me if im wrong with the version) no ngage games work with the 6630 and u need a special kind of rs-mmc dual voltage ones that arent even on the market yet. and not many applications r working on either of them.
and i dont really like the design of the 6260. how u have to have the screen in some way to take a photo that is just ***.
if i had to chose it would be none of them i woulad buy a 6600 or 7610 but hey thats just me.:-)

Ya Like wat i say maybe mark is trying to say 6620 is the best fone n not 6630 cos 6620 is a upgrade version of 6600, & i mention earlier that the dv rsmmc (Dual Voltage mmc) biggest memory on market now is onlt 64mb, Unlike the normal phone can support up to 512 mb although the biggest memory on the market now is 2GB. The diff for dv rsmmc (Dual Voltage mmc) is normal rsmmc is got a 70 percent decrease from the conventional 80mA, the 1.8V and 3.3V dual voltage feature extends battery usage by enabling mobile applications to write and read data at a low 20mA.
