Nokia 3650 Phone Sporting a large, 4,096-color display screen and an
unconventional, rotary-style keypad, we found the sturdy, feature-rich Nokia
3650 cell phone one of the best designed phones on the market, with excellent
ease-of-use, crystal-clear reception, and a camera, video camera, and Internet
access.
Sony Ericsson T68IS Phone For use with AT&T's GSM networks, this Sony Ericsson phone
features a GPRS connection for quick Internet access, an Internet browser,
modem, and an 8-line color display with customizable screen savers. There's also
Bluetooth connectivity for easy wireless data transfer among other
Bluetooth-enabled devices. The phone interface includes joystick menu navigation
and a myriad of other handy call features, such as numeric paging, text
messaging, voice-activated dialing, any-key answering, mute, and a phone book
capacity of 500 entries. Its excellent battery features a minimum rated talk
time of 400 minutes fully charged. This phone even includes a hands-free
headset. See our phone data for more specifications.
Nokia 3650 next generation phone Sporting a large, 4,096-color display screen and an unconventional,
rotary-style keypad, we found the sturdy, feature-rich Nokia 3650 cell phone one
of the best designed phones on the market, with excellent ease-of-use,
crystal-clear reception, and a camera, video camera, and Internet access.
In our tests, we found that the comfortable rounded base of this 5-inch phone
rested easily our palm, and the clever retro button display took only a moment
of getting used to. The buttons and disc navigation felt quite durable, with a
nice, solid action. Menu navigation involves two thin buttons on the top left
and right that allowed us to move in and out of menus; then the standard 4-point
clickable disc provided more detailed selection. There's a separate button for
the main menu prominently below the disc, and the faux-rotary layout of the
number buttons helped keep the navigation buttons out of the way during dialing.
The requisite call and hang-up buttons are intuitively marked, and a
futuristic-looking blue light shines through the numbers on all the buttons for
easy keying in low-light areas.
The 3560 delivered consistent, excellent reception in a variety of testing
environments, including a basement-level room that typically causes trouble with
similar phones. The default ring tones were a bit too gentle for their own good;
they were hard to hear in busy outdoor environments. The tones that we created
using the composing feature, however, were quite audible, even in the midst of
lots of noise. The vibrate alert was also quite effective and hard to miss.
Nokia has also preloaded a variety of other polyphonic ring tones for alternate
use, as well as a voice-dialing feature, which stores 25 numbers and was easy to
use.
Thanks to high-speed GPRS connection, users can access a variety of Web
content, such as news, travel information, and entertainment specifically
designed for mobile phones via an XHTML browser, which supports pages written in
both HTML and WML (Wireless Markup Language). The 3650's calendar, phone book,
and to-do list can all be synchronized with a PC using Nokia 3650 PC Suite
software. This phone also supports Java for downloading business applications,
and built-in Bluetooth and infrared connections empower users to send photos and
text in either e-mail or MMS format to a PC or to another compatible wireless
device. Some of the downloadable Java and Symbian applications provided by Nokia
through their website include Merriam-Webster Word Search, and games like Racing
Fever, Avant Go, and Terminator.
The phone's digital VGA camera is cleverly built in to the back of phone, and
can store up to 1,000 photos at 640 x 480 megapixel resolution on its
(upgradeable) 16 MB memory card. Also, the Nokia 3650's photo capability is
immediately accessible from the top-level display menu, so unlike other phones
it was easy to snap a photo at a moment's notice. The camera records images in
standard, portrait, and a nighttime mode.
With the same basic set of controls, RealOne software lets the video
recording function capture short, low-fidelity sound and video clips for
immediate MP4 video playback on the generous screen or for sending to another
Web-enabled user. The 15-frames-per-second video recording rate delivers
stuttering, delayed images that look sort of like Neil Armstrong's transmissions
from the Moon. We found this all very entertaining, and potentially useful for
transmitting small bits of information, but hard to take seriously as a true
video recording device.
Among the scores of additional features on this phone are text messaging
templates, where you create a basic message (like "Let's eat at --- ") then fill
in the blank as you wish; a foreign currency and units converter for the jet set
crowd, and a "favorites" folder to store Web shortcuts and links. For
hearing-impaired customers, Nokia even provides TTY/TDD (Telecommunication
Device for the Deaf) compatibility. The headset included with this phone is
functional, and Li-Ion battery comes rated for up to 4 hours of digital talk and
200 hours of digital standby time. The phone comes with a refreshingly
well-written manual. While decorative faceplates and other accessories are
available, we found that even without them, the Nokia 3650 is one of the most
coolest phones we've ever laid our hands on. --Erik Hammen
