Just got my hands on the Nokia 7650. The package looks good from outside, but unfortunately, thats the only good thing about it.

When switched on, the screen suddenly felt much smaller than what I had expected. Using it was far too uncomfortable to describe. As I am used to the T68 joystick, which is positioned at the centre of the phone, I found the 7650's joystick very improperly placed. Using the joystick with my thumb at the bottom on the front plate of the phone and the rest of the fingers wrapped around the phone was a bit difficult and probably hurt my thumb after using for a short while.

Another issue with the joystick is that it isn't like the T68's plastic joystick. Remember that T68 has a plastic button on the joystick? Well, here, the joystick is made completely of rubber, and after a few moves, it worries you that it may come out by a little harder push.

The OS is good. But the phone is a bit too big to be carried around in the trouser pocket. It looks like a giant matchbox!!

The camera is impressive. The viewfinder moves swiftly along with the movement of the phone. Unlike the MCA-20 communicam, it has a better frames per second rate(FPS rate) -{FPS is picked from my gaming experience!!}. Another good thing about the camera in the 7650 is that when the back part is slid up, the camera is covered and protected. So it is safe after use.

Overall, it is a bulky phone which is not really worth the money you pay for it. A camera along with the phone is a good package than the T68i+communicam, especially if you are very interested in mobile photography. But its bulkiness and ugliness and other similar disadvantages overweigh its advantages.

Here are some of the images that I clicked of my 7650's package:


















So, what do u think about it? Post your feedback on this page.

Cheers!

I've seen a few people use the 7650 in singapore. In my opinion, I think its really big and bulky. Like a flat brick. I wouldbn't mind if the phone was long but the width is far too broad for my liking. I do admire the features though but I think the p800 is still a better investment judjing by its design and it has tons more features and better connectivity than the 7650. Hope you're happy with your purchase though.

BTW, how are the pics taken with your camera? They look real grainy and blurred (slightly. prob contrast problem), the colour is quite dull on my computer. But then again, maybe its just my lousy old monitor.

Enjoy your new phone though!

First things first, Its not actually my purchase. I purchased it for my cousin and he picked it up from me. I was just evaluating the phone and posted my opinions here. So I have no loss. I personally dont like it. I will go for the P800 instead.

The pics are taken from my Creative Go WebCam and not from the 7650. The picture quality is bad coz the pics are big. If I choose a smaller size, the quality improves drastically!! So, that sums up ur monitors performance. All in all, ur monitor is better than 7650's screen

cheers!

@619:

Dubai is the hub in the middle east for all gadgets and all commerce. What a combination!
P800 available here in about 3-4 weeks.

Sendo Z100 has been delayed yet another time You're gonna have to wait a looooooooooooong time before you can even put your hands on it. At least not before Q4 this year... optimistically.
