Nokia 3650. Review on Nokia 3650

Good Handset but a few hidden limitations to be taken care of

Video Recorder resolution is very poor and there is a limitation of 11 second recording - Weird !!!

Video recording does not have sound recording built in but can play recorded clips with sound very well - very very weird!!

Sound recording clips too have a limitation of around 1 min.

you cannot record conversations on phone !!

Loudspeaker mode is not very loud and clear - so youll have to stay calm with handset mode only

Circular keyboard might be a problem and you will have to use both your hand if you are doing some keyboard extensive thing like writing a message or a note. Apart from it being circular the keys are just below your right hand thumb so a little practice would be required to master it. But once you get hooked to it you wont like the ordinary keypads...

For all these problems there are upgrades available from third-party but I could not locate any on web. You would find a lot of pages related to nokia 3650 software but then not the real software. And anyways if you find them another problem would be to download them to the handset. Most of Mobile phone ISP in India provide limited access to net and in most cases they offer only one site which would have only paid content to download.

So you will have tough time to get software for 3650. Infact on Airtel and Hutch (India) - even nokia site is not accessible for software upgrade.

With no reviews and guarantee of the 3rd party software there is a chance to damage or infect your handset aswell.

Interface and Usability is very good.

Multitasking between applications is excellent.

Snake comes in its new avatar and is really hooking.

Other games is picture scrambling kinds... not much to get addicted to but you have an option of using your own pictures to create new puzzles.

New ring tone composer is fantastic.. but you need to understand the basics of composing to utilize it.

Contacts are becoming much jazzier these days with a multitude of details that can be put along with the name and no. like 6 tel nos. email ids company names etc.

There is an option of attaching a picture of the person aswell... so when u get a call the pic flashes on screen messages section is also gr8 - you can send mms messages easily exhaustive help on all section to help you with new settings and features navigation is very simple and easy to understand.

You can rotate and zoom your pictures on phone. Bluetooth - gprs - Infrared are among the various options available to connect.

So think twice about it!

But over all a good attention seeking handset.
