Nokia 6620
PDA Street reviews the Nokia 6620 and writes - 'The camera lens is on the back of the unit, flush to the surface. It means you're always smudging its glass cover with your fingers when using the phone for other functions, but there really isn't anywhere else to put it.
For pictures and video and Web browsing, you need a good LCD. The 6620 features a bright, clear, but small 176x208-pixel and 65,536-color screen. It's quite a bit smaller than the biggest PDA screens, but this didn't seem to be a huge drawback except when viewing non-WAP Web pages.
And keeping the screen small obviously allows Nokia to keep the whole phone marvelously tiny. It measures 4.28 x 2.29 x .93 inches and weighs only 4.37 ounces.
While it's the multimedia capabilities (especially imaging, including video) that will catch your attention, this unit worked very well as a plain ordinary cell phone in our testing, showing good signal strength even in fringe areas and excellent voice quality. We used an AT&T-registered unit on the Canadian network of AT&T roaming partner Rogers Communications. '
InfoSync world reviews the Nokia 6620 and writes - 'The Nokia 6620 takes the strong showing of the 6600 and tweaks it - however, not all of the tweaks are good. The inclusion of faster EDGE data service is good, the removal of a standard headphone jack in favor of the proprietary Pop-Port is bad. The camera is still best-of-breed, but the number keys are still a bit too small. The software is easy to use, but there isn't as much of it as with the phone's predecessor. The increased memory is welcome, but the MMC expansion slot is still in a poor location. The usual Series 60 synchronization gotchas are still present as well. In all, the 6620 starts from a strong base, but doesn't really build on it as well as it should have.'
