The Nokia 6620, our Editors' Choice for smart phones without keyboards, has a little something for everyone: flashy multimedia, high-speed data transfer, and Symbian expandability.

If you're looking for a phone you can fill with third-party apps, the 6620 has an impressive 27MB of built-in RAM, 12MB of built-in flash, and an MMC slot. Aside from the standard Nokia PIM applications and Nokia's PC sync, the 6620 comes loaded with the Opera Web browser and RealPlayer. It also supports AT&T Wireless's EDGE high-speed data network.

Even at the typical Series 60 176-by-208 resolution, the 2.1-inch screen seems roomy. The phone speaker sounds great, and the VGA camera takes decent if slightly dim photos and video.

The real perk, though, is its EDGE performance. When connected to our test laptop via USB cable, the 6620 consistently delivered 80-Kbps data rates. That beats GPRS networks by a factor of two. You can take advantage of EDGE to watch streaming video, such as sports games. In fact, we were happy to check out smooth and sharp video of Yankees highlights on the phone.

Thanks to its 150-MHz processor, the 6620 blew past other Symbian phones in memory, disk access, and 2D-image tests, although the Nokia 7610 beat it handily on JPEG compression.

The 6620 may not have all the neat add-on software of the Sendo X, but what it has is cool. Not to mention that it's easier to dial and amped up with more horsepower.
