If you're looking for a reason to not hate your 7650, the 6650 has fixed (non-expandable) memory too. BUT, it ships with 7mb of user space instead of our 4mb. 😞

It looks to be fairly small too. I like everything about it other than the antenna, but I guess thats for the American WCDMA networks(?).

it;s a 3G phone wowww

btw i'm confused try to look at the FAQs

it says that the phone has 7mb but why it can only save 24 VGA-resolution still images

is this bcos the resolution is very good or ....

[quote="Global moderator"]My question is how video conferance will be possible.If u see the camera is from the back side :roll:[/quote]

for this nokia will release another product

hell how much money do i need to buy these new things

Is it me or is there no mention of GPRS on the phone?
I see there's the new "WCDMA". Anyone know what this is? Is it better than GPRS?

Oh and I don't see a speakerphone on it either! 😉

Another Symbian phone? Damn it's going to be hard trying to keep up with this.
I think I'm just gonna stick with the 9XXX series 😊

It says operating System Nokia, so It does not sounf like it is Symbian. Although the device looks very much like a Series 60.

I had thought WCDMA was just an advanced version of the US standard CDMA. And it is, but from reading the link Merlin posted I see it's also what we've been calling 3G. Wow! 3G and GSM in one package. Add the bluetooth adaptor, which looks amazing and you've got one pretty package!

Just because it doesnt say Symbian on the web page don't think the handset isn't based on Series 60. I'm sure it is but Nokia would rather just refer to it as their own O/S, it simply sounds better. How else could they release so many similar phones in such a short space of time? I think we'll see that they all share the same (or very similar) O/S pre-installed.

Please bare in mind that these are just my thoughts and not any 'insider information.' 😃

Fact: Ohhh Shoot, i'm all out of facts! 😃

Have you had hands on experience with the phone or an early test version?

6650 hey, like the 3650 it doesn't really do anything for me.

When I get my P800 & 9210i that's it for a 12 months, no more phones. (well until something comes out that I get exited about)

So Nokia's first 3G phone is here, looks cool. Not sure about the aerial though. Reminds me a bit of the 7110, hope its just as good. :P

The operating system could be palm os based. Rumours going around that their next big phone will be using palm.
Which do you think would be better Palm or Symbian. :-?

Bah it looks like a damn erricosson phone

I dislike all of nokias new releases, 7210, looks like some bony ass skeletal phone

3650 is just ahh I dont have words to describe how much I hate its designs

and now this, looks like erricsson designed this phone, its just horrible, im very dissapointed in nokia.

They (Nokia) seem to be making a big deal about the phone being able to do Multitasking. Have Nokia had time to develop/modify a Multitasking OS? For this reason, I can't see it being Palm. I wouldn't be suprised if it had a Symbian based kernel. If they have, they may be keeping quiet about it because they may fear that users will equate the word 'Symbian' with 'expensive' and 'more powerful that I need'.

If indeed it is not Symbian, then Nokia seem to be putting a lot of work into its proprietry standard with which they are hedging their bets because the bottom line is that the best bet for cross platform functionality is currently MIDP and this may be their first indication that this is where they want the market to go.
