Life with a Nokia 6630

After a couple of months with a Nokia 6630, I feel ready to report back my findings.

On the whole, it's a nice, compact phone with a good range of functions. It's a little temperamental, prone to the occasional crash mid-call and I've had it disconnect from my Bluetooth headset mid-conversation a couple of times, but it's pretty good otherwise.

On the usability side, the constant reminder I haven't read all my emails is annoying (like I'd download and read all of them on my phone!) and it's a little too easy to turn off by accident. Certain functions are a little hard to find as well, and I'm disgusted to find out its dictionary includes 'l8r' and other text message garbage.

It does, however, work very well with iSync, which is a great boon, and its security features fill me with joy after the great Spanish gypsy robbery.

So on the whole, pretty good.
