Advantages: Good display size

Disadvantages: No connectivity

Nokia 1650
*********
Nokia has some excellent budget phones with good battery back-up and some extra features. In the line of budget series Nokia 1650 also has its recognization with its design and quality display with good Lithium Ion 1020 mAh (BL-5C) battery.
I am going to discuss all features step by step with advantages and disadvantages also.

Design and Display
***************
Nokia 1650 has a classic design but there is no label of classic phone, and it has a slightly larger display in these categories of phones with 128 x 160 pixels, 1.8 inches, 35 x 28 mm display. Previous phone from Nokia 1600 was also meant for budget category but the display size was small and now it has been upgraded with 128x160 Pixels display. If we think about its dimension than it can be consider as middle size phone with 104.2 x 43.8 x 17.8 mm, but the weight is also reasonable with 80gm. So phone is easily pockatable and portable.

Memory
******
Phone doesn't have camera and music player so that there is no mean for providing memory card slot or higher capacity memory. Phone has 8MB of shares user memory for applications, contacts and data storage. If we think about the memory than it is excellent in this type of phones. Many other phone in budget category doesn't have such kind of memory so that Nokia has provided good memory in this phone.

Connectivity
**********
The worst point of this phone is its connectivity solutions, and there is no connectivity has been provide3d in this phone even there is no GPRS connectivity. If we think about its display size than it has good 128x160 pixel display and it can give good display for GPRS but there is no connectivity. I am unable to understand, why Nokia haven't provided any connectivity? in such kind of good phone. Phone got less popularity due to its lack of such kind of important features. Phone has good 8 MB of shared memory but if you want to load JAVA application from your computer than there is no way to do this. No mean of providing such kind of memory without any connectivity feature.

Battery
******
The excellent feature of this phone is its high capacity battery, with Standard battery, Li-Ion 1020 mAh (BL-5C), and Phone has superb battery back-up with more than 8 hours in talk and more than 5 hours for FM playback. BL 5C battery is good and popular battery in Nokia phones with its superb back-up. Most of Budget category phones from Nokia has this battery and they have good stamina time.

Other features
************
Other important feature of this phone is its FM radio, but it only can provide mono sound. Phone also has in built handsfree so that we can hear FM radio without depending on earphone.
Over all conclusion
Phone has good display and design but there are some important features are missing so that it requires some upgradation in terms of connectivity, than only it can get popularity.

Summary: average phone, but require some upgradation
