Nokia 6650 is a rare clamshell phone from Nokia with HSDPA (3G broadband) and GPS (satellite navigation) support. It's also notable for being another occasion where Nokia have recycled the name of an older handset. One immediately obvious thing to even a casual observer is that the Nokia 6650 very closely resembles the Motorola RAZR range. The flat keypad, slim profile and even the "kick" under the number keys are all characteristic of Motorola handsets, but it's not the first time that Nokia have made a RAZR-like phone - the disastrous Nokia N76 is another example.
The Nokia 6650 is a pretty interesting device in its own right. The inclusion of A-GPS (Assisted GPS) is unusual in a clamshell phone, and on top of that the 6650 has HSDPA high-speed data giving download speeds of up to 3.6 Mbps.
nside is a 2.2" 240 x 320 pixel display, with a smaller display on the outside with dedicated media keys. The Nokia 6650 has a microSD slot, FM radio and Bluetooth.
The camera is a fairly basic 2 megapixel unit, but it does come with a flash. As far as we can tell, the 6650 lacks a secondary video calling camera - but these are sometimes well hidden, so we could be wrong.
Nokia 6650 original We don't know if this is an S60 smartphone or not, and Nokia have not specified the size, weight and battery life at the time of going to press. T-Mobile in Germany say that the 6650 will cost just €1 when taken with their €28/month Relax 100 tariff. Nokia 6650 at a glance
