Nokia 6620

The 6620 is a smartphone created by Nokia, which uses the Series 60 user-interface and the Symbian operating system.

It is a version of Nokia's 6600 smartphone for the North American market, featuring all the features of the 6600 such as the VGA camera, MultiMediaCard slot, Bluetooth and color screen, but with a change to the North American GSM frequencies, the doubling of internal RAM, the addition of Nokia's new Pop-Port connector, the inclusion of stereo sound, and a new Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolution (EDGE) capability, effectively giving it double the download speeds of current General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) equipped phones.

This phone is available from some US and Canadian cellphone operators and usually comes packaged with the charger, a battery, a 32 mebibyte MMC card and a USB cable.
