Return to Nokia 7650 Feature main page.

Below is listed what Nokia consider the main features on the phone. This is text is taken from the Nokia website (comments in italics are my own).

Integrated Digital Camera

The Nokia 7650 is a great phone - and a whole lot more, offering you a new world of imaging possibilities. And it's easy to store the pictures you've made, or even download them and send them on to a friend. From practical situations to those more poetic moments, the Nokia 7650 can help you share an entirely new sense of the situation. Imagine the possibilities!

Multimedia Messaging

Send your pictures over MMS, the Multimedia Messaging Service. It works like text messaging, except that you can send a picture, text and voice all at once. Snap a picture, write a short note, record a message, "This view is fantastic. Words fail me. Wish you were here." And send it as a multimedia message. You can send your pictures from your Nokia 7650 by MMS to an e-mail address, to another Nokia 7650, or to another MMS-capable phone.

New Advanced User Interface and Graphical Display

And when you can send, you can also receive. The Nokia 7650 makes it possible to make use of multimedia entertainment and information services. So you could receive the latest news or sports headlines together with a picture and a short commentary. It's also a phone, of course, and you can do a lot more with your voice than talk. You can save up to 25 names and numbers for voice dialing, so you can call your friends by pressing one button and saying the name. There's also a voice recorder. Use it for recording voice messages to send as part of a multimedia message. Record a memo to yourself. Or record part of a phone conversation,

Dual Band GSM/HSCSD/GPRS

With the Nokia 7650, the connection to WAP services over GPRS is always on, so you can connect fast to your WAP homepage or a bookmarked page. GPRS makes it convenient to use many mobile services, such as MMS and e-mail. The Nokia 7650 works at three speeds, all of them pretty fast. At normal speed, it sends and receives at up to 14.4 kilobits per second.

When you are sending and receiving e-mail you can shift to double speed -up to 28.8 kilobits per second. And if you want to use the Nokia 7650 as a modem to download Internet pages to a compatible PC, you can fast-forward the data at up to 43.2 kb/s. And you can connect wirelessly via infrared or Bluetooth. Connect to a compatible PC or to another phone supporting Bluetooth and share pictures, graphics and contact cards.

Rafe's Comments:

From this its very obvious that Nokia see this phone principally as an imaging device and as something 'fun' to be targeted at the young market. This is perhaps in contrast to the Business Executive market at which the Nokia 9210 seems aimed. I'm not convinced that this straegy is necessairly sound. Although there will be a lot of people buying for the fun factor there are also go too be those interested in the more serious side of things who see it as a good mobile PDA as well as a phone. If you use a PDA principally as a viewer (as opposed to for entry of information) then this might be the ideal tool for you.

Its also good to see the highspeed connections come along and with GSM, HSCD and GRPS covered this should be very versatile in terms of speed optimisation, something which is bound to be important is a device withn a large mobile messasging component.
