Nokia 6730 classic review

Network and connections
An absolutely complete and top-quality Nokia phone, introduced in 2009 by the Finnish company. The 6730 Classic is a GSM Quadband, on frequencies of 850, 900, 1800 and 1900 MHZ to guarantee an optimal level of coverage. In addition, UMTS networks are supported, adding mobile functionality to the device. Packet data traffic is managed via HSDPA, so as to guarantee high speeds while browsing the Internet. The HTML browser can in fact open pages just like with home ADSL. The USB data cable allows you to sync every piece of information with your PC; Bluetooth is instead handy for exchanging files with other compatible devices. There is no Wi-Fi antenna, but that's not a big deal.

Design and features
The compact dimensions of the Candybar body make the 6730 Classic a daily companion, precisely because of the reduced bulk that allows excellent portability. The thickness is in fact just 12.6 mm, while the weight is 83 grams. The front houses the screen, a 2.2-inch TFT, capable of displaying up to 16 million colors; this way you always get vivid and bright images. Just below is the classic multifunction directional pad from Nokia, really handy for managing every feature, together with the dedicated keys. The keyboard is a standard alphanumeric one, with well-separated and comfortable-to-use keys. The sales package includes the USB 2.0 cable and stereo headphones, as well as a handy 1 GB memory card.

Main features
As is now well known, Nokia equips its phones with absolutely intuitive platforms to use, which make navigating menus and changing settings as simple as possible. Indeed, in this case we have Symbian Series 60 3.2, a guarantee of reliability, stability and the possibility to customize content. With Java support it is in fact possible to install additional software, allowing every user to meet their own needs. T9 predictive text input helps a lot with quick text composition, both for SMS and for E-mail. The Pocket Office package allows you to read and edit various types of documents, making it easy to manage email attachments as well. The phone side is absolutely complete, with speakerphone, voice recorder, conference call support and voice dialing. There is also a front-facing camera for making video calls. To keep in touch with friends online, Instant Messaging is also included.

Entertainment and multimedia
An excellent tool for managing office tasks, but also quite valid for filling leisure time. Here we have the rear camera with as much as 3.2 megapixels of resolution, capable of taking excellent quality photos in any lighting condition, thanks to the LED Flash. You can also record videos with audio, to be stored on the 48 MB internal space; if that's not enough, it's easy to expand the memory up to 16 GB with microSD cards. The media player supports various audio and video formats, so you can always have your favorite files with you to play back faithfully. You can also listen to radio stations, thanks to the AM/FM antenna. Battery life is excellent, guaranteeing great operating autonomy: up to 500 hours in Stand-by.
