Nokia 6630 (Rs. 11,900)
The Nokia 6630 is a Symbian OS v8.0 phone, the looks and design of the phone is based on the 6600 and a faster processor makes it a good smartphone. The 6630 has a 65K color screen. The only problem, I see, with the phone is the bulkiness which many have accepted I believe and the other difficult part is getting the proper memory card as it supports RS-DV-MMC. The phone comes bundled with a 64 MB card and has a 1.3 MP camera. The phone, even though very old, has EDGE; 3G, Bluetooth v1.2, and is quad-band. The phone is a power-hog when used for a multimedia purpose else around 2.5 hours of talktime is expected.
Nokia 6681 (Rs. 11,900)
The Nokia 6681 is a phone for a business man. The phone is very similar to the 6630 except for the shape, which is now a rectangle. The other plus point is the hot swappable memory, which has the same problem as this supports RS-DV-MMC cards. The phone has a 1.3 MP camera, which is placed behind a cover and has a flash to assist in bad lighting. The phone weighs a little more than the 6630 at 131 grams. This phone has a very good battery life with a talktime of around 4-5 hours.
