Hi friends,
I'm a very gadget freek person. Recently I wanted to buy a mobile; for which I spent atleast a month surveying all the options available in my range of budget. Friends, I would suggust you all to first work out with the budget you are ready to shell out before trying to find a right mobile for you. I had in mind Nokia N-series before buying 6630. But thing, 1) N-series is too costly. 2) There are no significant difference in the techology or facilities as compared to Nokia 6630.
You might find it a bit surprising, but its true. This is an open challenge...I you find any major difference...do write back to me.
The only difference that I could find are : 1) A different Symbian OS Version (Which does not make much of a difference in the operation)
2) Phone internal memory is slightly more than 6630 (But again doesnot matter much as 6630 supports Extendable memory)
3) Thogh the camera in N-series is 2 mega pixcel, the highest quality picture it can capture is about 250kb in size; where as the Nokia 6630, with its 1.3 MP camera can capture nearly 550 kb of single picture ! This means more information per pixcel ! ( This comparison is based on my observation on Nokia 6630 and N72).
I'm giving a detailed description of the other features of Nokia 6630.
