Nokia 2650

Nokia 2650

The Good :
GPRS, supports MMS, nice design

The Bad :
4096 colors display, no infrared

It's better to call this phone a "flip experiment" by Nokia because Nokia 2650 doesn't bring lots of improvements. With similar price, you can have Samsung SGH C100 with UFB 65000 colors display and infrared, or SGH C200 with same display technology and bigger memory capacity.

Is Nokia 2650 flip mechanism reliable? Because Nokia is a new player in flip phone its flipping mechanism might not be as reliable as Samsung (numerous flip series), Motorola (the stylish V-series), or SonyEricsson (Z200, Z600).

Standard features like organizer, xHTML browser, SMS, MMS all work well. One of Nokia 2650's flaw is the lack of infrared. How can Nokia 2650 communicate with other devices, say to accept ringtones or other data? May be quite difficult because this is only a basic phone with no infrared or bluetooth.

Conclusion :
Actually, Nokia 2650 is not a good option. You can shop around and easily find many brands show similar features with lower price (Sony Ericsson Z200), or similar price with more features. If you want to have the first flip Nokia phone, however, be my guest, check Nokia 2650 out on the Internet or in your nearest cellphone kiosk or store.
