Summary: Good phone but no touch screen
Review: This would have been a perfect phone. Too bad it doesn't have a touch screen, otherwise I could have just use it as a PDA.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A must buy
Review: This is a cool phone. Oh, my mistake, it is not only a phone. It is everything you want in your hand. Camera, camcorder, video, music, internet, what else do you want?

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not compatible with a mac
Review: After hearing many rave reviews on this phone and assessing it's many pluses (mainly bluetooth and expandable memory), I was disappointed to find out that this phone and it's software is not compatible with a mac....

And after talking to a Nokia support employee, I learned that they have no future plans to make it compatible. Too bad, Nokia gets a thumbs down from me!

P.S. After asking if I could listen to my favorite internet stations via real player, he also informed me that the capability was there, but that no providers support it at this time.

Summary: Love It!
Review: I got the phone through ATT, so I cannot talk about the T-mobile service... But the Phone is awesome!

Basically just charged it up and started playing with it. Incredible options, nice suite of PC connectivity software, and beautiful screen. Have downloaded some jPegs for excellent graphics...

Honestly think that this phone spanks most of the others I have had, and definitely knocks out my wifes Sanyo (PCS) in terms of screen size, quality and features.

Have been taking pictures of decent quality as well.

I also picked up the wireless bluetooth headset from Nokia and like it... although I got to admit the phone is much more fun.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great phone, lacking in OS X support.
Review: About 6 months ago, I wrote a sticky note for myself entitled "When I'll get a phone." T-mobile made the Nokia 3650 available on April 1 and I received mine that day. After a month, here's how it's going:

full .Mac integration: Address Book groups, multiple iCal calendars (at mediarights we use about 12), IMAP mail, all over bluetooth
iSync support isn't there yet (this month, allegedly) but the Bluetooth adapter (D-link DBT-120, from tekserve) works well for exchanging midi files, photos, addresses, appointments and .sis (program) files.

The IMAP mail program is great. I don't expect to ever write much mail on it, but when I need to it's more than serviceable. I do wish I had smarter junk mail filtering, but the .Mac screening does pretty well.

color screen
It's beautiful. I don't notice "only" 4096 colors on this tiny thing. Anyone who says different is lying. It's very very bright when the backlight is on, and dim but not unreadable when it's off.

affordable Internet plan (only sidekick has this?)
I pay $10/month for 10MB from T-mobile. I've used about 2/3rds of it. You can use the phone as your primary Internet connection for your computer via bluetooth, and if I ever needed this I'd tear through those ten megs and wish for sidekick's unlimited plan. Until then the 10 megs are plenty.

GPRS/GSM network and good reception(only T-mobile has this)
The reception is great nearly everywhere, even in Park Slope & Williamsburg, two areas where cell phone reception is notoriously bad. The photo pictures send very quickly, and the web loads fast enough to be usable.

a nice camera, 640x480 at least!
The camera works wonderfully - much better than any other camera I've seen on a phone/palm/hiptop device. You can see some pictures from Shea Stadium or our garden in Brooklyn taken with phone and judge for yourself. To me, the quality of the pictures is the most pleasant suprise of the phone.

The picture syncing should work exactly like iPhoto. Of course, it doesn't yet on the Mac, but I think there is a utility like that for the PC. Once I get my head on straight, I'll join bluetooth-dev group, I'm hoping a fairly simple script could bring over all new photos at once and delete them from the phone. What I'm really hoping is that someone else will do this, of course.

There is a lot of good documentation available for developers, but the Nokia Developer's website is ridiculously difficult to naviagte. There is no one page with all documentation indexed by phone or platform, and most of the URLs resists bookmarks. I also hate looking at URLs with commas in them, but that's a personal bias. And forget about Mac support - even though the sample code (C++ and Java) is perfectly readable and heavily commented, you can only compile it into a .sis file on Windows. Most of the good stuff is on the Series 60 and Java pages. There is also a Linux port, so there is hope. I wish there was better developer support for Mac OS X, since the Symbian platform is becoming the standard.

The video is in the new 3gpp format. I stress "new" because it's entirely unsupported on Windows & Mac OS X. It's supposed to play on the Real One player, but not until the next version.

And speaking of Real One, it's nice that it comes with a native Symbian Real One player, but it won't stream anything better than a 40kbps stream. I guess this is to keep bandwidth costs down, but it strikes me as not quite ready. Rob Glaser is betting the bank on Real One being the best mobile streaming software, but I'm not sure they've got the inside track yet.

Summary: Nokia Redeems Themselves
Review: After leaving my Nokia Phones behind lastyear when i got a Sony Ericsson T68i, I have finally decided to come back to Nokia and give them a try. The Nokia 3650 is an amazing phone. The built in bluetooth alone was what drew me to it. However, my old Ericsson HBH-15 headset will need to be replaced as the Nokia only works with teh Ericsson HBH-60 and Nokia headsets. The screen size and colors is another beautiful thing abotu this phone. Browsing on WAP (T-Zones Internet) is simply amazing with this phone. No more scrolling and it is fast too. The built in Camera and Video Recorder are a nice addition too but still not ready to replace my real digital camera. It's fun to be bale to snap a quick picture and then send it to a friend to get advice or just say hello. As for the keypad, it is awkward at first but aftera few days, it becomes comfortable to use and makes text messaging a breeze. nokia has finally redeemed themselves to me with this phone.

Rating: 4 stars
