Nokia 3650 vs Nokia 6630
Better figure, where one is clearly better
| Nokia3650 | Nokia6630 | |
|---|---|---|
| Overview | ||
| Released | January 2003 | 2004 |
| Display | ||
| Resolution | 208 × 176 | 208 × 176 |
| Panel | LCD | LCD |
| Display type | Active-matrix colour LCD, 176 × 208 pixels and 4,096 colours; exact maker launch and developer record. No physical diagonal or native refresh inferred. | Active-matrix TFT LCD with 176 × 208 pixels and 65,536 colours, original consumer specifications. Physical diagonal and native refresh rate are not published in the recovered maker specifications. Forum Nokia's duplicate colour-depth row incorrectly prints 176 bit; its 16-bit row and consumer specification establish the colour count. |
| Brightness detail | – | Automatic backlight adjustment, original consumer specifications. No brightness in nits published. |
| Performance | ||
| Storage | 4 MB | 10 MB (better) |
| Memory | Maker launch and Danish specifications describe 4 MB dynamic internal memory; the shipment release and developer record identify 3.4 MB user-accessible shared memory. This is storage, not a published RAM capacity. | 10 MB of internal dynamic memory shared by contacts, messages, photographs, videos, calendar and applications, original consumer page and brochure. Forum Nokia lists 9 MB of shared storage. These are user-storage figures, not RAM. The launch release's 74 MB combines 10 MB internal memory with the supplied 64 MB card; it is not 74 MB of internal storage. |
| Storage type | 3 V MMC memory-card expansion; standard launch sales package includes a 16 MB card. No larger maximum card capacity inferred. | Hot-swappable reduced-size dual-voltage MMC. Reader operates at 1.8 V and requires cards supporting both 1.8 V and 3.0 V. Original standard package lists a 64 MB card; Nokia notes that capacity varies by market and network operator. No maximum supported card capacity inferred. |
| Cameras | ||
| Main camera | 0.3 MP | 1.3 MP (better) |
| Ultra wide camera | None | None |
| Telephoto camera | None | None |
| Optical zoom | None | None |
| Main camera | Integrated VGA camera with 640 × 480-pixel photographs; rear lens, with the phone screen as viewfinder. Camera pixels are distinct from display pixels. | Rear 1.3 MP sensor with 1.23 MP effective resolution and 1280 × 960-pixel JPEG still photographs. Normal, night, self-timer and sequence modes; sequence takes up to six photographs. An optional external flash is an accessory, not a built-in flash. The approved 2.0 service guide instead prints a 1.0 MP / 1152 × 864 camera in its introductory table, conflicting with the exact consumer, developer, launch and operating-guide specifications; that service-table figure is not used. |
| Front camera | – | No built-in front camera. Video calling uses the rear camera; the optional Nokia Video Call Stand PT-8 allows the caller to face the display while transmitting their own image, original user guide and independent reviews. Video calls require a compatible network, service, USIM and recipient. |
| Zoom | – | Up to 6× digital zoom for photographs and videos, original consumer specifications. Digital zoom is not optical zoom. |
| Video recording | Video recorder and RealOne playback/streaming of compatible audio and video. Maker specifications list 3GPP/MPEG-4; no unpublished capture resolution or frame rate inferred. | 3GPP files with H.263 video and AMR audio, with up to one hour per clip subject to available memory. The consumer page prints 174 × 144 pixels while labelling it QCIF; this unresolved apparent typo is preserved rather than silently supplying another model's figure. Its lower-resolution option is 128 × 96 pixels. The English guide confirms recording-length and selectable resolution controls without printing the pixel counts. Short MMS clips are limited to 300 kB, with some networks accepting only 100 kB. MPEG-4 and RealVideo playback support does not establish recording resolution. |
| Camera features | – | Image and video editing, Movie Director and compatible Bluetooth photo printing. Optional printing and wireless-keyboard applications are installed on many supplied cards and vary by package. |
| Battery and charging | ||
| Battery | 850 mAh | 900 mAh (better) |
| Wireless charging | None | None |
| Battery life detail | Removable BL-5C 850 mAh lithium-ion battery. Danish specifications claim 2–4 h talk and 150–200 h standby; exact shipment release rounds maximum standby to eight days. Network, SIM and use affect endurance. | Removable 900 mAh BL-5C battery, original brochure. The consumer page specifies up to 2–6 hours of talk and 6–11 days of standby; the brochure instead lists 3–6 hours of talk. Nokia qualifies these claims by SIM card, network settings, use and operating conditions. |
| Wired charging | Danish maker table gives 1 h 35 min with the supported charging setup; launch/shipment release gives approximately one hour without identifying the same conditions. Proprietary charger connection; no USB charging inferred. | Separate charger connector, with ACP-12 travel charger in the original standard package. Pop-Port USB data transfer does not establish charging through USB. |
| Design | ||
| Type | Standard | Standard |
| Weight | 130 g | 127 g (better) |
| Thickness | 26 mm | 21 mm (better) |
| Height × width | 130 × 57 mm | 110 × 60 mm |
| Weight detail | – | Original consumer specification and shipping release give 110 × 60 × 21 mm and 127 g. The original announcement, brochure and Mobile-review instead give 20.6 mm thickness; consumer figure retained with the discrepancy recorded. |
| Materials | User-changeable Xpress-on covers; 130 g includes the lithium-ion battery, per exact Danish maker specifications. | – |
| Buttons | Circular numeric keypad, two soft keys and five-way scrolling/navigation key. Predictive text input; no touchscreen. | Five-way navigation control, two soft keys and a numeric keypad, with application, edit, clear and call controls. Side controls include power/profile selection and voice functions, original guide and maker photographs. |
| Water resistance detail | – | Original user guide explicitly says the phone is not water-resistant. No IP rating assigned. |
| Speakers | Integrated hands-free loudspeaker; voice recorder and MIDI/WAV ringtones. No stereo speaker claim. | Integrated hands-free loudspeaker, voice recorder and stereo MP3/AAC music player. Original HDS-3 stereo headset connects through Pop-Port. Optional accessories do not establish a built-in FM radio. |
| Software | ||
| Operating system | Symbian | Symbian |
| Software at launch | Symbian OS 6.1 with S60 Developer Platform 1.0, exact maker developer record. Java MIDP 1.0 applications; no unverified CPU or RAM figure assigned. | Symbian OS 8.0a with S60 2nd Edition Feature Pack 2, exact Forum Nokia specifications. Installable Symbian applications and Java MIDP 2.0 / CLDC 1.1 applications with JSR-184 3D graphics support. |
| Software features | MMS, email using SMTP/POP3/IMAP4, XHTML browsing, contacts, calendar and installable applications. Historic services and downloads are not claimed to remain available today. | Contacts, calendar, email with SMTP/POP3/IMAP4, Quickoffice document viewers, WAP 2.0 XHTML/HTML browser, RealPlayer and local PC or remote SyncML synchronisation. Original network services, PC software and downloads are historical capabilities, not a claim that their infrastructure remains available. |
| Release detail | Announced 6 September 2002; maker's 26 February 2003 release confirms the Chinese version had been available in China and Hong Kong since January, then wider shipments in Europe, North America and Asia Pacific. Month precision retained; exact first retail day unresolved. Maker launch explicitly says this model follows the 7650. Archived Danish specifications and original English regional guides are qualified sources. | Announced 14 June 2004 with shipments planned for the fourth quarter. Nokia's 3 November 2004 release says shipments have started, and its fourth-quarter report confirms 2004 shipments. First retail month remains unresolved; year precision retained. No direct predecessor link inferred from related model names or a reviewer's comparison. |
| In the box | – | Original consumer standard package lists the phone, 64 MB MU-1 RS-MMC and full-size adaptor, HDS-3 stereo headset, BL-5C battery, ACP-12 charger, DKU-2 USB cable and software CD. Memory-card configuration varies by market or operator. |
| Connectivity | ||
| Mobile network | GSM 900 / 1800 / 1900, GPRS up to 40.2 kbit/s and HSCSD up to 43.2 kbit/s; network-dependent. The North American 3600's GSM 850 variant is not this 3650 record. | GSM 900 / 1800 / 1900 and WCDMA 2100, with automatic band and mode switching. WCDMA packet downloads up to 384 kbps and uploads up to 128 kbps; EDGE figures depend on slot allocation. The consumer page lists peak 236.8 kbps download and 118.4 kbps upload, while the brochure qualifies 236.8/59.2 or 177.6/118.4 kbps down/up combinations. Actual service depends on network support. The guide and a consumer data subsection use UMTS 2000 wording; the exact network table and Forum Nokia name WCDMA 2100. |
| SIM | Removable SIM; original guide shows SIM and MMC inside the battery compartment. | Removable SIM or USIM card under the battery, original user guide. No dual-SIM configuration established. |
| Bluetooth | Bluetooth 1.1; original shared 3600/3650 US guide explicitly lists Handsfree profile as an audio gateway, but not Headset profile. Compatible Bluetooth file transfer and PC connections; infrared also supported. | Bluetooth 1.1, original brochure. Consumer specifications list headset, hands-free and Basic Imaging profiles; Basic Printing and Human Interface Device profiles use Nokia's printing and wireless-keyboard applications. No modern Bluetooth audio codec inferred. |
| USB | Exact maker developer record lists infrared and Bluetooth PC connectivity. No physical USB data port or USB cradle established; a review's cable claim is not adopted as a maker specification. | USB 2.0 full-speed data connection through Pop-Port and the DKU-2 cable. This is not USB 2.0 high-speed, USB-C or USB Power Delivery. |
