Nokia 2630 Review
Phone rating: 
Review: November 2007. Updated April 2009.
The Nokia 2630 is a superslim, ultra-lightweight phone that's cheap
to buy and has a built-in FM radio.
However, it has a rubbish camera, a rubbish screen, nasty ringtones,
limited connectivity (Bluetooth only), not much memory (enough for an
MP3 ringtone and a few photos), and is only dual band.
Also, beware of buying the Nokia 2630 on O2, as there appears to be
a problem with the phone crashing every time a call is missed. This
problem seems to apply to the O2 network only.
Features of the Nokia 2630 include:
- Camera: VGA with 4x digital zoom
- Video capture
- Display: TFT, 65,536 colours, 128 x 160 pixels
- FM radio
- MP3 ringtones, 24-voice polyphonic ringtones
- Messaging: SMS, MMS, Instant Messaging, Email (POP3, IMP4, and SMTP
protocols)
- Nokia Xpress Audio Messaging: send greetings with short voice clips
- Handsfree speaker
- Java games (3 games pre-installed)
- Personal organiser functions
- Phone book (1000 entries)
- Internet: WAP 2.0, GPRS Class 10, EDGE, xHTML, web browser
- Memory: 11 Mbytes
- Connectivity: Bluetooth 2.0
- Dual Band
- Size: 105 x 45 x 9.9 mm
- Weight: 66g
- Talktime: 6 hours
- Battery standby: 312 hours

my son found the 2630 for me on tinternet.the only complaint i've got
is that the battery is abolute rubbish.i charged it for 18hrs when i
first got it[having been told to so by him]& it lasted for 1 day,now,
i'm 55 so don't spend all day on the fone i might send 7 or 8 tx's a
day[& they are only tx's not essays] but that should'nt drain the battery
as quickly as it do'es.i charge it for 12/14 hrs but still only lasts
for just over a day.i bought a new one & that is just as bad.as for
the rest of the bits & pieces it do'es for me.i like the idea that you
can alter the font size especially with these eyes.

Hi - I am having the same problem with freezing - only if I try to answer
the call and it terminates to go to Voicemail and the handset tries
to lock the keypad. All these things have to happen at the same time.
I have to remove the battery and replace it and turn the phone on again
to be able to use it. I've only had the phone a couple of months and
this has happened 3-4 times. Id am planning to return it and replace
it with something else, as it's just not good enough to have to take
the phone out of the case and take the battery out every time this happens.
I thought the Nokias were quite reliable - never had any problems with
my previous Samsungs! In all other respects the phone is quite good
value for money.

Guys who have all those freezing reports, you must be kidding! It does
NOT freeze for me in these circumstances: keypad locked, missed the
call. I do NOT have voicemail (almost nobody uses voicemail in Russia).
Bought yesterday. Cheap, works nicely for the time being.

I bought this phone on O2 pay & go for my Mum as I thought it would
be an easy phone for her to use. It had the same problems that others
have reported - the first handset shut down if you went into the drafts
file in the text folder so I sent it back and got a replacement. This
then had the other problem of "freezing" when a call goes to voicemail
with the keypad locked and the credit balance text alert cmae through.
All in all I have had 7 handsets with this fault - I've finally got
Nokia (via the carphone warehouse) to agree to give me an alternative
handset - I'm getting the Nokia 6300 and the reviews on this phone seem
much better so fingeres crossed!! Bottom line - with my expreience,
I would say don't bother with the 2630 - and I'm highly surprised Nokia
are still sending them out - sort it out Nokia!

I love this phone, it has all the essential features and is really slim.
However, mine keeps hanging if I get a missed call and you have to take
the battery out to restart it, if you disconnect it really briefly though,
you do not have to reset the time and date normally! Its been back to
O2 and supposedly fixed, but the software version is still the same
and the problem has not gone away. I'm seriously considering changing
it now, loads of people have reported the same issue, I do not think
its a priority for Nokia as there appears to be no fix yet. I've had
it for 5 months now. Otherwise the phone would get 5 stars easily, one
of the best nokias in recent years.

I have this phone from 3 months and I am not satisfied with it. Why?
For two main reasons: 1. the sound quality is very poor, compared to
other Nokia, Sony-Ericsson or Siemens phones I've had before. 2. the
battery "dies" in 48 hours if I'm speaking only 30-40 minutes a day.
Even if it's a cheap phone, you can find better phones at the same price
or a little higher.

Seriously folks - all of you that complain about this phone for being
low in features - what do you expect? It's exactly as advertised! It's
a shame some of you have had locking problems - but this can happen
with good phones. A firmware patch should sort that. WHY DID I BUY THIS
PHONE? ------------------------- Simple - I spent years chasing the
new features like bluetooth and mp3 players and 4MP cameras and synching
and blah blah. What do I use my phone for? Storing numbers, making calls
and sending texts. All those bells and whistles lose their novelty appeal
very quickly. I have a beefier phone from work with all that stuff on
it, but I need a phone for home use. Carrying my new N95 and my old
reliable 6310 was too bulky - especially being a bloke and not having
a handbag to shove it in ;) The 2630 is INEXPENSIVE (yes, it is a budget
model) but most importantly of all, it's unique selling point is how
LIGHTWEIGHT and SLIM it is. VERDICT ======= Above all else, if you want
a mobile for basic use that is light, this is the phone you must buy.
End of story ;) No, the screen is not the best but I only want to make
calls and read texts. It is capable of both of those things. The ringtones
seem fine to me (but then I'm not a teenager who enjoys broadcasting
their ringtones to all and sundry - ringtone lets me know someone want
to speak to me so i answer...) Poor camera - ok, so it is very occasionally
useful to be able to snap a quick picture with your phone. That said,
if there's a desperate need then I'll make do with the one on this phone.
Otherwise, get this: I'll use my digital camera. Low memory - well that's
ok - i knew what i was buying so i knew i wouldn't be using my budget
phone like a PDA so that's no biggie. I'll delete my texts when I've
read them. In short - I made an informed decision and this phone does
what I bought it for.

I accidently dropped this phone in a sink full of water. The sink was

it got too wet. I have since dried it out. But the centeral menu key
stopped working. I have just tried to take the front pannel off and
somehow (don't know how) I fixed the centre key but the same problem
now affects the hang-up/power key. Other than that it's an all right

If you use pay as you go and don't mind having to remove the battery
every time you miss a call then go ahead and buy this phone. I purchased
two 2630 phones on O2 pay as you go in Jan 2008. Both these phones hang
if a call is missed while the key pad is locked. Sent both phones to
O2 for repair, when they were "repaired" the problem was still not fixed.
Sent both phones back to O2 again, this time one of the phones was replaced
with new 2630 which seems to work OK, but the replacement for the second
phone still has the same problem. Have now sent the 2nd phone (the non
working replacemtn) back to O2 yet again to have this problem sorted
out and am still waiting... I read on another internet site that this
is a problem with 2630 and Pay as You go, something about a missed call
notification incompatibility. Of course Nokia and O2 must know about
the problem so why are they not replacing the phones with a model or
manufacturer that works???

On paper a good phone and indeed, its good to use. HOWEVER - IT HAS
A SERIOS FAULT. It locks up if you get a missed call with the keypad
lock on - even the clock stops. You have to remove and replace the battery
to gain operation. This is repeatable. O2 claim no knowledge of this...
Have had this on 2 phones and 3rd on order as replacement but this is
surely more than a batch problem. WAKE UP NOKIA!!!!

I got this phone at work when the company switched services so I can't

job so I'm upgrading to that and the 2630 can stay in a drawer until
I have to return it. There is nothing about this phone that I like.
Too small, light goes off too fast, can't see anything unless you are
pressing buttons, poor battery. I don't care about other features if
the main one - a phone - is poor. Being better than nothing gives it

Had this phone for 2 months now. Looks gorgeous, is super-slim and light,

a nice 'feel' to it. I don't understand why other people have such a
problem with this phone? It's never frozen on me, and the screen has
never gone blank, the screen is actually very bright - so much so that
I use it for a tortch quite often. I've uploaded plenty of games and
apps to my phone, and often use it to play games. It's also my personal
organiser - the calendar has many features. It does lack storage; that's
the only bad thing, but if you're not planning to load it up with lots
of MP3s then this really isn't a problem. If you want a hand-held computer,
then buy a chunky E60 or something. If you want a slim phone with features
you'd expect in a modern phone (not a computer) then get this, you won't
be sorry.

i'v3e had dis phone since last year and it's okay except that it could
be slow a bit if ur trying to open something with really big files...
the batteries been good... it could last a few days for me... although
the memory is quite limited it's okay... at least it's still usable...
well, i'm quite satisfied with it....

I really wanted to like this phone, and there IS a lot to like about
it. Super-thin, decent camera for a VGA, lots of customisation options,
clever and intuitive (but slow) interface, and some very nice touches
that other phones don't have. However, the battery life is poor. Sure,
there are worse phones, but I can't get it to last two days, with about
30 minutes of calls each day. Initially I thought it might take a few
charges to get optimum life out of it, but in two weeks I've had to
charge it 9 times. Not good. The battery is a BL-4BA battery but also
takes BL-4B, which I think has slightly higher capacity. But I can't
see it improving the performance enough to be worthwhile, so I'll be
returning this phone for something more reliable.

I think you miss the point sometimes you just need a PHONE. battery
lasts forever super slim and robustly built. Mine goes Ring- Ring (
doesn't play an embarrassing sample !) and keeps me legal on the move
and at £30 almost disposable.

Easy to carry b'coz so light & slim. Consider very cheap for MP3 phone.

Just bought the nokia 2630. I have only had Nokias since '94 but It
will be my last ever Nokia. This one is a complete waste of money, and
it wasn't cheap. Its SLOW SLOW SLOW, and which makes it DIFFICULT to
use. The FM radio is so difficult to operate, blue tooth is intermittent.
Its actually a a joke played on us. Goodbye Nokia.

Hi I've bought this phone one week ago. It costs ca. 65 USD here (12.000
HUF) I like it, 'cause it's cheap, slim, ultra-light, etc. The battery
is good too. So if you want to use this phone as a PHONE, buy it :)
But if you're keen on taking pictures, or using it as an mp3 player,
choose something else. Anyway, Why do people want to use MOBILE PHONES
for filming, taking pictures, etc? It's a PHONE. And even the most expensive
mobile phone's camera is much worse, than the cheapest Sony digital
camera. Greetings

This model I have had for just 4 months. It has failed to come up to
my expectations.It suddenly stopped working,the screen went blank and
although fully charged would not turn on again. I have today returned
it to the Orange shop. The reported fault is power related when any
Nokia charger is placed in the phone it says charger not supported.
It has been sent to Orbit for repair.

I've Been using this phone for 3 weeks now so this is the impression
i got. SCREEN: When i looked at the phone for the first time i thought
"The screen must be rubish for the price i'm paying". Couldn't be more
wrong. The screen is very bright (more than necessary), and very "detailed".
SOUND: Not very good, when playing radio and stuff like that but when
talking is in an average class speakers. OPERATING SYSTEM: This runs
on nokia's S40 platform meaning that it has a solid performance and
you can get some aps for it. MESSAGING AND CALLING: Calling is as easy
as it should be (select a contact, press the green button, and talk),
but its the messaging that has let me down. I type fast on a mobile,
but this one made me think i was in turtle mode. The buttons are big
which makes it easy to type but it takes some time for it to show what
you've typed. CAMERA: For a low-end phone like this the camera suites
well. Personally I don't use the camera that often and when i use it
is for capturing a photo of my pet or something like that so I'm gessing
that most of the people looking forward to buy this phone won't use
it for more than that too. CONNECTIVITY: Nothing to say but the dual
band. I mean come on nokia dual band is out. The bluetooth is nice but
with only 11 megs you won't use that much unless you use bluetooth phones.
OVERALL: Its a fine phone although it could be better. The phone itself
is slow but when you get used to it you stop bothering with that. Other
thing to look at its the design, sleek, small, and beautifuly simple.
I'll give it 4 stars because it's a good phone but the dual band and
the slowliness makes it not worthy of the 5

Don't know if this is just a batch problem, but I've had problems since
day one: Firstly, it started freezing on missed calls. I put this down
to a faulty phone, but when I got it replaced, it did the same thing.
Secondly, I went to write a message and accidentally typed the number
as + (so in the numbers bar, it showed up as +;). When going to delete
this, I pressed the end call button, automatically saving this to the
draft folder. When trying to open the draft folder, it subsequently
crashed and kept crashing. This has happened with the replacement model
too. However, it may just be a faulty batch. Aesthetically, the phone
is lovely. It has an excellent feel and sound quality as well as very
long battery life. I'm just very disappointed with it.

Bought for my father as a simple and easy to use phone with big buttons
and a camera (for the price). And it ticks all those boxes. If you base
your purchase on the fact that it does the simple things correctly and
without fuss buy this phone. The bluetooth, radio, bright screen and
other features are extras which is a welcome addition to a entry level
nokia phone. Yes the menu's can be slow, yes the camera's doesn't take
quality photos, however the sheer usability and simpleness of the phone
(hell even the size) makes me want to buy one too. If its for an elder
who just wants the simple things with a lot a style plus a few nice
extras - buy it! If you're constantly bashing the slow menus and slouchy
camera then don't! Simple

I have just bought the phone, its better then many entry level nokia

if it was supporting external memory. The phone has no Brightness control
and its too bright by default which is enough to run water from your
eyes while using it indoors or at night! The phone gives dead drops
while talking to people who have some specific model of phones! (not
sure which ones). Nokia 2630 does not allow you to edit its gallery
images which i think is limiting users to customize "their" mobile!
after all they paid of it! I have found that the Phone setting does
not cover the memory status which you have to figure out under Gallery
properties... in a nut shall! the phone is good enough to be use for
6 months (okay max 9 months) & then move on to some GOOD model! may
be Sony Ericson !!
