Advantages: Digital Camera, Extra addons

Disadvantages: One 640x480 camera, Getting caught

As we all know Nokia are one of the most popular manufactures of mobiles, and many of their new gadgets appeal mainly towards the younger generation.

The new Nokia 7650 is a mobile phone with multimedia features and a digital camera built in. Of course it's the camera that everyone's talking about, especially the price!!

The keyboard pops out from under the vibrant colour screen and the built in digital camera has a 4 MB memory to save all your images, quite high compared to many digital cameras, which still only have 8 MB. It is also equipped with the latest features for fast Internet access, GPRS and Bluetooth.
Nokia are designing for people on the move with integrated hands free speaker and voice dialling, improved battery life lasting for up to almost 10 days.
Taking photos are simple using the colour display as the viewfinder and point and shoot. You can then add the picture to the phones memory or send to a friend. The pictures are reasonable quality if left small, viewed on another phone, but don?t expect to increase them to A4 size for printing.

The Java capability means that you can download games just as easily as downloading ringtones or graphics. As well as Java games, you can also download applications like personal assistants, travel and information tools. MMS means that you can send and receive multimedia messages containing text, MIDI audio files, and graphics or animations.

Warning

In the past you used to have to worry about your partner reading your text messages. Now be extra careful to delete any incriminating pictures from that night out on the town!
