Nokia 2630 Candy Bar mobile phone handset reviews and tariffs

+ I can read the screen without reading specs!

- instructions poor or setting up email. Still not sorted.

+ a basic product, but very good value for money. does what is says on the tin.

- basic, but this is expected due to the price.

+ Easy to use especially when modern technology is not one's strong points
Compared with my last and more expensive phone the battery life is brilliant.

- I tend to get feed back and very load ring tone when I use it in conjunction with bluetooth in my car

+ This was bought as a present for someone who wanted the basics. I feel this has filled the criteria. I think they are pleased with the phone.

- I have a similar phone and the battery does not last that long, think this could have the same problem.

+ lightweight and reasonably priced

- loudspeaker feature quite poor - does not really work that well

+ Small, cheap does everything I'm looking for.

- Sometimes can be hard to hear if you dont have it right to your ear.

+ neat phone and easy to use

- have not discovered any yet!

+ It is packed with features for the younger set.

- It is just too small and the keypad is difficult to use and camera key, on the side, is difficult to accesss quickly. Why can't they design a phone like the old 3310 in looks and size and feel with a camera and external memory caed slot?

+ 100% ladies mobile phone

- bit fiddly

+ Compact/lightweight simple

- Keypad a bit fiddly

+ Small, simple, cheap - great for taking on nights out in case you lose it.

- Screen quality, very slow browser.

+ easy to use and good value for money

- wont take a memory card and only a small memory on the phone

+ It's a lovely slim phone and light, the only problem I seem to be having is that it is a little smooth to hold in arthritic hands when you want to text, but otherwise it's a lovely phone.

- Bit too smooth in arthritic hands when texting

+ Its small, compact and easy for use.

- It doesnt have a lot of memory.

+ It Suits all my needs.

- I do have a big problem at work with the sgnal.

+ Sylish, lightweight and reliable. Good reception compared to my clam-style Samsung, which was very heavy and cost a lot more.

- I had to learn how to use Bluetooth to transfer stuff to and from my computer - I would have prefered a lead, but perhaps that's old fashioned. The display screen doesn't show enough of my chosen wallpaper.

+ Excellent combination of large sized keys on a compact phone.

- The transfer between resources could be improved with shortcuts.

+ cheap international calls

- sound sometime quite low

+ Easy to use and cheap basic phone

+ Reviewer left no comment

- small keys

+ The phone is pretty easy to use and I would recommend it for people who want an uncomplicated phone without too many functions, although it does have most of the basic features as well. It is also lightweight and fairly compact.

- The battery life is not as good as my previous phones (which used to last about a week), so if you use it for more than just a few things each day you find yourself having to charge it up every few days. Other than that I can't really fault it.

+ Nice looking. Gets a signal quickly. Texting is easier.

- Contact list for messaging is annoying. The whole phone is very slow. Slow to turn on, slow to turn off, delays when pressing keys etc.

+ SIZE AND COMPACT SHAPE INCLUDING ALL AVAILABLE FEATURES

- NONE SO FAR !!!!!

+ INEXPENSIVE,NEAT COMPACT

- CAN'T HEAR AS WELL AS I DID WITH WITH MY PREVOIUS PHONE

+ Very slim and easy to carry around in a trouser pocket, great.

- Sound quality is awful and I have terrible trouble hearing on it.

+ Reviewer left no comment

- volume not very loud when talking

+ Good cheap phone, slim design

- None yet!

+ I was very pleased with my 2630 received as a birthday present in June so when my husband needed a replacement phone I purchased one for him. He is very pleased with it's clarity and ease of use.
I am especially pleased with how light it is to carry in my pocket when out walking.

- We haven't found any

+ It connected me to the internet quickly

- Everything - it may as well had been in black and white. I asked all of my friends to look at it and none of them could read anything properly. Also the sound quality was a joke. It was the worst phone I have ever had, there was nothing I liked about it and even though I thought the internet was fast I could hardly read a thing which is a must for me. I couldn't call anyone or receive calls because the sounds was so awful. I would only recommend this to an ex or someone I didn't like.

+ Small, light, easy to use.

- To send a text it takes too many steps to click on the person you want to send the text to.

+ Bright, clean lines, easy to use controls

- Haven't found any yet

+ For a basic phone this is as good as it gets. Very good battery life, good colour screen, easy to use, and small and compact. So long as you are not out to impress anyone with the latest, all singing, all dancing mobile, and you are not too interested in using the internet on your phone, then this phone is an excellent choice.

- For the price paid I can't find any fault with this phone.

+ I really only wanted a phone with calls and text, but I guess thy no longer exist

- It's too compicated for me with features that I will never use - how ever I am from the older generation so it might be me.

+ easy to use and intuitive navigation

- You don't publish a carbon footprint for this phone - it would be helpful to be able to compare mobile phones on the basis of how much their manufacture and distribution contributes to the UK's carbon emissions.

+ not any really,it was just cheap

- its not worth bothering with

+ Flat, easily fits into pocket and not too difficult to navigate round.

- Needs charging a bit too often and the camera is not very high resolution.

+ I FIND THE 2630 SATISFIES ALL MY NEEDS AND IS VERY EASY TO USE INCLUDING BLUETOOTH SET-UP

- NOT FOUND ANY YET

+ Small, compact and does everything I want it to. Is very good value for money

- Keypad a bit small.

+ good cheap phone

- not enought memory

+ Easy to use, clear screen, clear keys.

- Battery life is not as good as my previous phone, the phone itself makes up for that. Also where the battery is concerned my wifes phone has a lower battery life so she may also change to this one.

+ Looks good

- Difficult to navigate with my big fingers. Cannot seem to adjust the sound for the hearing of calls

+ Reviewer left no comment

+ this was purchased as a gift for a freind, was found to be easy to use and included many features that my freind had not used on their previous phone, probably still not being used to it's full potential, but will be in the future I am sure.

- None really - You get what you pay for so don't expect loads of exciting features

+ its light

- trying to hear a conversation is very poor

+ Small, compact and generally easy to use. Looks good and is ideal for texting. Fair value for money.

- Sound quality is awful. Battery life is short.

+ its good if you just want a standard phone for texting and calling which is ideal as im only young so i text alot its better then the new phones as its not fancy anything that can flip up or slide tends to break because its a gadget you just want something to contact someone with so its good for that

+ Light and with a decent battery life. Seems to be a very good package for the money.

+ I bought the phone as a present for a friend, it looks good and is very slim.

- My friend had difficuly in putting in numbers and names etc, so she had to ask for help

+ I like its compact size, camera/photo and radio features, as well as its much longer battery life (compared to its predecessor).

- Keypad is not the easiest to manipulate. I have erraneously sent texts before completion because three main upper keys are multi-functional.

+ Slim and small, easy to use and navigate

- Too simple

+ I bought this phone for my 10 year old son, his 1st fone, does what it says on the tin and he loves it. Very cheap basic phone with bluetooth and camera, very happy!

- The software is a little slower than other nokia phones but as its a 1st fone this is not notice by my son. Also it could do with having a volume control as the call volume is quiet in noisy places and handsfree/loudspeaker isnt very loud at all.

+ Easy to use i am an oap.Camera

- Battery does not last as long as my last nokia

+ I want a phone that's simple to use, especially for texting. Not too bothered about 'fancy stuff' like listening to music, taking photos (prefer a camera for that) or internet access. Being really, really old I don't walk around with a mobile glued to my ear.

- It took me a while to find my way around the phone but that was entirely because I'M A SLOW LEARNER.
