Nokia 2650 Review

Nokia 9500

The Nokia 2650 is a feature-packed phone that comes in a stylish design that is compact, sturdy and fun. A slight departure from Nokia’s classic design, the 2650 is one of Nokia’s few flip phones. The phone features an internal antenna and a unique Nokia twist on the usual flip phone design principles. This is a compact, high-tech mobile that offers users an Internet browser, downloadable add-ons, color display, and full MIDI sound—all in one small package.

The Nokia 2650 is a mobile phone that can help you keep up with your appointments—as well as the times. It features image-attachment capability for text messages, which means you can save time and send a saved digital business card the next time someone asks for your office number or e-mail address. With up to five listings per contact, the Nokia 2650 conveniently stores all the information you need to stay in touch.

While this phone doesn’t offer a PC interface, it is possible to get plenty of fun games and useful JavaTM applications through the use of direct-to-phone download capability. The expandable game library is sure to be exciting for those who expect a little fun from their phone. For the more business-minded, the Java applications can help make your commute time a little more productive, or keep finances and appointments organized.

The Nokia 2650 is meant to go on the road—or the plane. With a surprisingly sturdy design for a compact flip phone, as well extensive multilingual support, the 2650 is one travel partner you won’t get tired of. With automatic and manual network selection, moving from one country—or continent—is surprisingly smooth.

This sleek phone doesn’t have some of the more advanced features that many mobile users are looking for. GPS, digital imaging devices and a form of PC interface are all absent, as is an MP3 player.

The Nokia 2650 is a mobile phone meant mainly for simple communication—as well as some features for businesspeople. That said, it has enough fun features—such as games and downloadable or create-your-own ringtones—to keep all users amused. Altogether, this is an exciting, practical and affordable phone.
