Hello everybody. I am Sumit. from india.
This is My first detailed review on nokia 6630,3230,6681

** 3230 vs 6630 vs 6681 **
I will discuss these three models in detail and simple language....
may be it will be helpful to u.

** History of my previos handsets **
nokia 2100
nokia 3100
Ngage
Lg G1800(i have this now also.and i like it)
nokia 6630 (best among all the phones)

my 3 frinds have 3230. i have 6630. and 2 frinds have 6681. i got my 6630 four days ago.after reserching 2 months on the web and reading almost all forums and stuff available on the net. i went for 6630.

** Let us discuss about three phones. which i had considered before buying 6630..


** Processor **
3230 - 104 MHZ (slower)
6630 - 223 MHZ (faster than 3230)
6681 - 223 MHZ

** symbian os **
3230 V7.0
6630 V8.0 bugs fixed. more ability
6681 V8.0

** battery **
3230 BL 5B
6630 BL 5c(best)
6681 BL 5c (" ")

nokia has BL series like bl 1,2,3,4,5
Among them Bl 5 is latest and i think best.

6630 has talktime upto 3 hours(3g on) and 6 hours ( 3g off). enough for everybody..
3230 has talktime upto 11 hours. because its processor is slow. stand by time of all three is almosy same..

** DISPLAY **
3230 best
6630 normal
6681 normal

technically all are same. but 3230 is best according to me.

** mp3 player**
3230 worse... its mono..
6630,6681 strereo and best

** 3D Games **
3230 supported
6630 supported
6681 not supported.. go through other sites and u'll see this.


** phone memory **
more phone memory = more speed.and runs big application also..
3230 6mb
6630 10mb great than others
6681 8mb

**memory card included in pack **
3230 32mb
6630 64mb
6681 64mb

** i recommend to add memory cards of following size for good(bearable) performance and good size **
3230 128mb. since slow proccessor,low ram
6630 512mb required for mp3
6681 512mb "" ""

** assembly **
3230 bad
6630 excellent
6681 excellent
in asia 3230 is manufactured in china. and shiped to asian contries.anyone can see the difference in 3230 it feels like cheap plastic. 6630,6681 are manu.in finland.. and imported to asia.. their build quality is best.

** looks **
according to many people
3230 better
6630 good. bulky.(only negative factor)
6681 best

according to me
i like all three. but 6630 looks great. i am fan of it.and doesnt matter. its trend of big phones :-)

** EDGE **
3230 half. only for uploading.
6630 full
6681 full
leave kbps.(b= bit)
we'll consider kBps(B=byte, actual file size is in this format.)

if i leave one big file for downloading then i get
3230 5-6 kBps, 13 to 16 mb per hour
6630 18-20 kBps 50-64mb per hour(by edge. no 3G available in india)
6681 same as 6630
i have tested all on pc. now posting this from 6630 connected to pc.

3230 uopload fast. but download by normal GPRS. so no use for me.

**3G support.** soon will be available in india
much faster than edge

3230 not supported
6630 supported
6681 not supported

** weight **
almost same for all.and doesnt matter much

** Data cable **
3230 not included in pack
6630 included
6681 included
its worth Rs 1200
(RS=India currency. 1$=47 Rs)

** headset included**
3230 normal
6630 grey like nylon. one of the best.
6681 pure white. one of the best.

** typing **
3230 headacke... bit difficult
6630 comparatively better
6681 best

** user interference **
3230 best. as its os is 7.
6630,6681 bit difficult, because more powerful os.and can do more things

** push to talk **
i dont know what is it. and doesnt matter. because no friend of mine uses it
3230 supported
6630 not supported
6681 i dont know


** s60 applications **
3230 most of it works
6630 most of it works
6681 most of them DONT work

** price ** india, 28-march-2006
3230 Rs- 11,100
6630 Rs- 11,650
6681 Rs- 14,500

** hot swap **
dont ask what is it. i know it. but tired of typing...
ok.. its... u can remove memory card withouth shutting phone off. and u dont have to remove cover also.
3230 no
6630 yes
6681 yes

** FM radio **
3230 yes
6630 no
6681 yes
doesnt matter for me.

** CD with software **
3230 no
6630 yes
6681 yes

** conclusion **

( "~~~~~~" = best acc. to me)

price
3230= 11100+1200(data cable)=12300
6630=11650 ~~~~~~
6681=14500

            Please could somebody tell me if when they got there 6630 there was a tag on the side of the memory card wich detached or folded in some way. Because mine does and i don't know if i should snap it off or not. If somebody out there knows a quick response would be really cool because currently i have no memory space left. Thankyou fellow 6630 users. Please reply to info@thinkfones.co.uk. Nice one!

                          (ak) .. for nothing :) ..

                          The quality is very clear and the sound is loude .. the Ringtones type : Polyphonic (48 channels), monophonic, True tones, MP3

                          The vedio recorders is one of the best's thing's in the phone .. the vedio is very clear .. like a 2 MP camera .. every one clip (vedio record) up to one hour ..

                          and no the SE w550i is not better than all..

                          because :
                          1)it not a smart phone
                          2)it's not a symbian phone
                          3)it's not a 3g phone
                          4)the screen is small(and i dont like that)
                          5)the memory card 256 MB (and it's not enough for me :) )
                          6)you can read the Specifications of the nokia 6630 in my post (before two posts i think) :)

                                        I am using this fone from 5 months.I like it too much.Nokia's camera result is not good as compared to SE.6630 is symbian operating device thats why I like it.If symbian operating system remove from Nokia Nokia'll be floop & if symbian operating system include in Sonyericsson mobile like K700i Sonyericsson beats Nokia completely.
