What reviewers say
GSMArena and NieuweMobiel praise the camera and useful smartphone software, but both criticise the limited choice of dual-voltage RS-MMC cards. GSMArena likes the keypad and active standby screen, while NieuweMobiel finds the keypad less comfortable than the 6630's. GSMArena encounters stability and document-viewer problems in its test firmware; NieuweMobiel praises the loud hands-free speaker but misses a small portrait-photo mode for messaging. Both see modest improvements rather than a compelling upgrade for owners of recent Series 60 phones.
176 × 208-pixel colour screen with 262,144 colours, Nokia consumer datasheet. Screen diagonal and native refresh rate are not published in the recovered maker sources.

Release detail
Nokia announced the model on 14 February 2005 and planned April availability. GSMArena's 8 May 2005 full review states that it had appeared on the market. A confirmed first retail month was not recovered, so the catalogue retains year precision.
