Nokia 6650
The Nokia 6650 is a new high-end clamshell style consumer friendly smartphone with a number of high-end features. Designed with the consumer and the tech junkie in mind, the Nokia 6650 offers a great mix of usability and features, making it a fantastic phone for the prosumer end of the market – the people who want high-end features without a truly high-end phone.
Announced in March of 2008, the Nokia 6650 is a quad band GSM phone. This means that it can be used anywhere in the world simply by swapping out your SIM card with one from a local carrier when you travel to other countries or continents. The Nokia 6650 also offers support for high-speed data transfer via the 3G HSDPA and UMTS networks for blazing speeds when uploading and downloading files. Website load times are also significantly faster.
Measuring in at approximately four inches by two inches by a half of an inch, the Nokia 6650 is a fairly large sized clamshell device. Weight however, is on the light side for such a large phone, coming in at approximately 112 grams.
The Nokia 6650 offers impressive battery life for a 3G phone with so many features. Expect to get about six hours of talk time or 350 hours of standby time on a single charge. Compared to most other phones in this market, the Nokia 6650’s battery life is practically unheard of.
There are two distinct displays mounted on the Nokia 6650. The main display, located inside of the phone, measures in at an impressive 2.2 inches in size, has a resolution of 240 by 320 pixels, and includes a color depth of sixteen million colors. The outer display is also impressive for a clamshell, measuring in at a large 1.36 inches, with a resolution of 128 by 160 pixels and a color depth of 262k colors.
Also included in the Nokia 6650 is a 2.0 megapixel digital camera, which features video support, a flash, and four times digital zoom.
Multimedia features are plentiful on the Nokia 6650. There is support for all of the most popular video files as well as support for all of the most popular music files. Furthermore, the Nokia 6650 can play music played over FM radio and visual radio. The built in 30MB of memory can be expanded via microSD cards.

Overall
The Nokia 6650 is a great device for those looking for a clamshell phone with some power behind it. While it seems that clamshell devices in the high end are starting to go by the wayside, the Nokia 6650 is a great purchase for those who like the durability of a phone that protects itself when closed with the functionality of a high priced, high tech candy bar styled device.
