Nokia....Lazy duckz!! HuH(6620) (Reviews)
Inpite of its plump appearance, the 6620 has quiet solid feel when in your hands. Almost the same dimensions as its predecessor the obvious 6600, 10.9 x 5.8 x 2.3 cm and 124 g, its light silver plastic exterior offers a snazzy but professional-looking image. These guyz at Nokia are really brave when it comes to risk taking in designing.
Nokia opted for a traditional keypad rather than the circular variety introduced with the Nokia 3650. The number keys are well designed but a bit on the smaller side.The backlight is, unfortunately, the common and poor soft blue. The four-way joystick of the 6600 is sadly not particularly comfortable, as the plastic of which it is made is slightly slippery.

Fortunately, the display of the 6620, like its predecessor, is a pleasure. With Crisp, clear, and bright appearances, it seems to be larger than it actually is. Also, the Nokia 6600 shines in the audio department, with excellent quality during conversations whether in handset or loudspeaker mode. On the downside, the 6620 drops the standard 2.5 mm earphone socket in place of the Nokia-proprietary Pop-Port. That prevents using the included wired earphone and USB cable at the same time.
The Nokia 6620 also harbors a VGA resolution camera, which offers superb image quality across the board. Sporting a 2x digital zoom, the camera's color quality and white balance are first rate. It even has auto-leveling, so that images are slightly realigned to eliminate slight tilt and make lines straighter, a feature that officially qualifies as "brilliant". Nokia's unmatched night mode is also still present.

Connectivity
The 6620 brings back the company's Pop-Port serial connector for USB connection to a PC as well as the wired handsfree earpiece. A side-mounted infrared port and Bluetooth are still included, fortunately, for the wireless set.
Hardware/software
Powered by a 104 MHz processor, the 6620 delivers performance fully on par with its predecessors, and as such the 6620 is comfortably snappy when performing the vast majority of functions. Its internal, non-volatile memory has been expanded to 12 MB, although it is fair to expect the bundled 32 MB MMC card to quickly come in handy for users wanting to do more than a bit of desktop synchronization and picture-snapping. Powered as it is by a 850 mAh Lithium Ion battery, the Nokia 6600 is listed as offering a talk time of up to 240 minutes and up to 200 hours of standby time; our own estimates put it at somewhat less than that.
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.
