Perfect for those looking for an easy-to-use, affordable handset to stay connected to friends and family, the unlocked, dual-band GSM/EDGE Nokia 2630 is a svelte, stylish phone that's a great mobile companion.

Other features include dual LCD screens, speakerphone, 2.5mm wired headset jack, access to personal email, and up to 7 hours of talk time.
This unlocked cell phone can be used with a GSM network service provider and it provides dual-band connectivity (850 MHz, 1900 MHz).

Phone Features
The candybar Nokia 2630 has a large 128 x 160-pixel screen and easily accessible keypad that's complemented with an oversized five-way navigation pad. It also includes send/end keys and two soft keys. The phonebook can store up to 1000 contact entries in its 11 MB of internal shared memory, and the phone can display the most recent 20 dialed/received/missed calls.
This phone provides Bluetooth version 2.0 wireless connectivity, and includes profiles for communication headset, handsfree car kits, and file transfer. You can connect your laptop (either via Bluetooth or wired USB) and enjoy dial-up networking--surf the Internet, send email, and access files from a server.
The 2630 offers a full range of email, text, and multimedia messaging options. It includes support for IMAP4, POP3, and SMTP email. In addition to SMS text and MMS multimedia messaging, this phone incorporates Nokia Xpress audio messaging, which allows you to personalize messages in a spontaneous and creative way. By using a specially designed menu, an audio message can be recorded and sent with only a few clicks of a button. Xpress audio messages can be sent to all MMS-enabled GSM handsets, and can also be shared with multiple recipients.
The VGA digital camera can capture stills at up to a 640 x 480-pixel resolution, and the camera includes a 4x digital zoom to help you get closer to the action. You can also capture short video clips (at up to 2 minutes) in sub-QCIF resolution (128 x 96 pixels, 8 fps). Personalize your phone with MP3 or 24-voice polyphonic ringtones.

Vital Statistics
The Nokia 2630 weighs 2.33 ounces and measures 4.13 x 1.77 x 0.39 inches. Its 700 mAh lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 6 hours of talk time, and up to 310 hours of digital standby time. It runs on the 850/1900 GSM/GPRS/EDGE frequencies. This phone comes with a one-year warranty from a third party provider.
The Nokia 2630 is a good practical phone with a useful camera and speakerphone. There's nothing more useful than a speakerphone when waiting on hold. The FM radio is an added benefit although it requires that you have earphones handy in your pocket or purse.
I threw away my free flip-phone from the provider (actually I stashed it in a drawer) and shopped for a phone with the features I wanted. Buying an unlocked phone is a lot cheaper than upgrading from my service provider.
The Nokia 2630 is really thin making it great for a pocket phone. The best part is that it has no side buttons to accidentally push that hang-up on the caller when you reach in your pocket to get the phone. The sound quality could be a little better especially in noisy environments but I haven't found that to be a major problem. All in all I am quite satisfied.
