Nokia 6620 User Reviews


1. Posted by topmounter Sat Jun 11, 2005 11:38 pm

I like this phone quite a bit. I originally picked it up last year when I re-upped my ATT wireless contact. I had a 3650 and could never get used to its ridiculous circular number pad and shoddy build quality. The 6620 easily won me over and made me forget all about my poor experience with the 3650.

The build quality of the 6620 is excellent, a very solid feeling phone while in your hand, but very lite weight and unobtrusive when stashed in your pocket or clipped to your belt.

The 6620 is VERY easy to unlock. I picked up the code off the web, migrated over to Cingular and moved the SIM over from my V551. It is a bit odd that Cingular would still be charging $200 for a phone that has been available in the U.S. market for well over a year and whose succesors are already available from Nokia (e.g. 6670 / 668x).

The 6620 kicks the snot out of the V551, making what is reviewed as the best Moto phone in years look like an unrefined, poorly constructed POS. The only thing the V551 has going for it is that some people prefer flip-phones over candy-bar style phones. While many of the same boxes are check-marked on the feature list of each of these phones, the execution of these features is far superior on the 6620.

The 6620 runs the Symbian OS so you can load a wide range of applications, including apps developed specifically for the Symbian OS, as well as Java apps. There is quite a community that has developed around the Symbian OS, creating plenty of easily installable freeware and shareware applications to do just about anything you can imagine.

The camera is only "VGA" quality, but works well enough for basic snapshots. It will also capture video and I believe it will keep going until you fill up your MMC memory.

The screen is bright and easy to read. The resolution is very good and Profimail (email client) looks great, making small text very easy to read.

This phone allows you to use MP3's as ringtones. I typically use a freeware MP3 editor to make sound clips from my MP3 collection to use as ringers.

Battery life is pretty good, until you start using MobiTV icon_smile.gif

The MMC is buried under the battery, so you have to remove the battery to replace the memory card.

This phone uses a "pop-port" for hands-free and headphone attachments. While I don't mind the "pop-port" for hands-free headsets, it is a real pain in the arse if you want to use the phone as an MP3 player with a pair of regular headphones (I think it will play in stereo through headphones, but I refuse to purchase the Nokia stereo headphones to try it). Supposedly there is a stereo headphone "pop-port" adapter coming from Nokia in the next month or two.

Even with the 6600 having the same form factor and being widely deployed by T-mobile, there are very few case and accesory options available for this phone.

The blue-tooth support on the 6620 is very easy to use. I picked up a new blue-tooth headset right after I got my V551 and setting it up with the V551 was rather clunky. I had absolutely no such problems with the 6620.

Configuring this phone, as well as setting up profiles and themes is very easily done on the 6620. You can also run multiple applications simultaneously and easily switch between them.

The phone book is a no-brainer. This is another area that Motorola could really learn something from Nokia. I never really appreciated how great the phonebook is on the 6620 until I got my V551. While the V551 phonebook can be configured to be tolerable, it simply does not compare to the Nokia when you have contacts with more than one telephone number.

The Nokia software has gotten much, much better in the past year. I remember the version of the Nokia PC Suite software that came with my 6620 last year and it was rather limited and amateurish. The latest version however is a significant improvement. While I still feel that it is oddly designed, at least Nokia doesn't try and screw you by charging an additional $30 for it's PC software like Moto does with the V551.

As long as you aren't a dyed in the wool flip-phone zealot, that blindly forsakes features, execution and build quality just to keep a clamshell fashion phone in your possession, I highly recommend giving the 6620 (or one of the new Series 60 Nokia phones) a try.

just got phone about a week ago. the internet is simular to dialup. not to bad, been waiting for this technology for some time. was going to by the treo 600, but the price was the deciding factor. love the zoom feture on the pic viewer. would be nice if there was more software available, maby not looking hard enough. reel player/reel tv is cool, only i think you are limited to what your service provider provides (only G rated). also would be nice if nokia included some screen and camera lense filiments to cover and protect screen, the one it comes with will only last so long.
