Nokia 7650

By now everyone should have seen the 7650. It?s the new nokia phone with the digital camera and the media messaging that is being heavily advertised, but is it any good and more importantly is it worth the heavy price? (About £200 on contract). O2 last month chose me to participate in some market research by giving 5 friends and me these phones for free so that they could get their hands on my opinion and judge for themselves and here it is. The phone itself is larger than any of the latest phone and is about the size of the Nokia 3210, although less heavy. At first going from an 8310 to a ... more

What a piece of kit! Or so I thought. I've owned a string of mobiles now, and I've found Nokia to be consistently the best manufacturer to suit my needs, and always capable of providing a good quality, solid, reliable (ish), and extremely user friendly phone. How disappointed I find myself with Nokia's latest offering is incredible. Why I hear you ask - let me begin. The Nokia 6210 I was using previously was an excellent phone, solid, dependable, easy to use, but ultimately quite dull. After one and a half years with my network provider, I decided it would be time for an upgrade, and lo and ... more

I inherited this phone from my hubby when he got a free upgrade on his contract phone. He had been using it for a couple of years, but the chassis is robust, so it still looks in pretty good condition. APPEARANCE Ths first thing that you notice is the size and the weight of the thing, it's pretty hefty! I refer to is as "the brick" (approx dimensions just measured with my thumb, 5 in long, 2 in across, 3/4 in deep with keypad extended. Sorry metric types, my thumbs only do imperial.) Warning, this phone is incompatible with dinky hanbags! (I speak from experience here girls.) The kepad slides ... more

So you’re on a night out with lads, getting lashed up, and suddenly this amazing (read "ugly, but beer goggles are on") women starts dancing with you. You think you are "the man" and you are loving every moment of it. Then in a moment of wisdom you pull out your Nokia 7650 so you can show the lads your catch. There the night ends. In the morning you wake up with a terrible hang over to find a picture on your phone of you with your tongue down the throat of a really very ugly women. What have you done? The implications that this phone brings about are amazing. I mean you always have your phone ... more

The Nokia 7650 comes direct from the latest crop of photo cameras aimed at the typical non-business customer. It is decidedly bigger than its rival, the 3650, clocking in at around 11cm long and 3cm thick. However, its looks ensure that this is not a mobile to be ashamed of; it has a certain charm and unique quality bereft form other similarly designed Nokia phones. Indeed, from the outset it looks a lot like a PDA, featuring a large and clear screen, a small joystick and only three buttons. All fears of a fiddly touch screen style interface are quickly forgotten though with a keypad that ... more
