Awesome review carkitter! Very detailed and informative. Hopefully it will encourage more V640i/K630i owners in the future. It seems like you're very happy with it, and it sounds like an excellent phone!

@M-O
Thanks!
I'm quite staggered by how big a step up the V640i is.



@goose
I fail to see how Vodafone has offended you. If you don't like the red menus then download one of the 22,000+ K750i themes on Zedge.net or Esato and they'll disappear.

So you get a Vodafone symbol on the case, so what? Lewis Hamilton and Michael Schumacher don't seem to mind Vodafone branding and I'll bet they see alot more of it than you.

I agree with carkitter. While both he and I will happily admit that an unbranded handset is better than a branded one, I cant see why it offends people so much that Vodafone have put their logo on a phone.

You can take away the red menus simply by changing the theme, and the rest of it doesn't detract much. The Vodafone menu icons are improving too and are now a lot more colourful than they used to be!

Also, my Vodafone branded W910i has absolutely no branding on the casing, and the flash themes can completely disguise it (that is, no Vodafone style red menus or Vodafone icons), apart from the left softkey being a Vodafone live link, which isn't too bad as I use it occasionally for games.


Speaking of themes, carkitter. Does your V640i come with any flash themes which change the menu icons?

Actually, yes it does!
Thanks, I didn't know until I went looking in response to tour question!

Awesome! If you can, post some shots of those up with your UI shots. That'd be cool!

Done.



It has only one speaker and its on the back. I'm not a fan of speakers on the back surface, I'd rather see stereo speakers on the sides but as are yet to do this in thier mainstream models I decided not to go there in the review. The speaker sound quality is average but is VERY LOUD!. For ringtones you won't need the 8 setting (full volume), I found 6 too loud and currently use 4 (half volume) + vibrate. Music/Radio volume is not that loud though. I listen to the radio outdoors alot and often use settings 5.5 - 6, with 7 - 8 for personal favourite tracks (8 is maximum).

Nice one carkitter, looks like you scored some nice flash themes.

Yeah the V630i was extremely loud too. I thought the W910i was loud, but I compared the two earlier tonight and the V630i just blew the W910i away! And review sites say the W910i is supposed to be loud! If the V640i is similar to the V630i, then its a very very loud phone!

I may join the V640 club on monday. Got an contract proposal:

9,95€ per month, 1€ for the device, plus I get 175€ cash!
That's only 65€ fixed cost for the phone!

Xcellent!

I've added some more indoor/outdoor pictures, and will finalise the review over the next few days. I may soon have access to a V630i and if so, I'll do a major overhaul on the review turning it into a direct comparison.
