 Philips 650 is announced in 2004
Design
Philips 650 handset is a distinctive-looking clamshell. Measures 88 x 46 x 25 mm in size and weighing 93 grams, it is light and feels very slender despite its size.A secound 96 x 64 pixel, 256 STN display dominates the front cover, and although not the clearest external display we've seen it is still quite functional.The 16 bit - color display which is a little milky, dim and uneven, as well as having lower resolution than usual.The display resolution 128 x 160 pixel ideal for small and smart phone.
The left side of the unit holds a spacious volume rocker.There is nice LEDs which notify users of new messages, active network and missed calls. This is not common for all Philips handsets and is not necessary to pick up and activate the device to see whether any alerts are waiting.
Ergonomics
The 650 is comfortable to hold and lies well in ones hand.Sporting a simple and user friendly menu in style with other recent Philips handsets.The plastic keypad has very limited key travel and jiggles independently of the phone, with the shrunken center keys for no apparent reason, make the phone harder to dial than necessary.And last,but not least, a five-way navigation buttons centered below the display.
Features
In the WAN department, the 650 boasts healthy support for Tri-band 900/1800/1900 MHz, as well as GPRS, SMS, and a range of applications such as WAP , Email client, Java MIDP 2.0, 32-channels polyphony, voice commands, Loud Speaker, all of which laptop and handheld users will be pleased to learn is a breeze to utilize either by means of infrared old wireless device,GPRS support is the fastest way to download files with your mobile, and spacious phone book. and when it comes to storage the 650 offers 7 MB which is dynamically shared between images and J2ME applications.
Performance
Audio quality on the 650 was crystal clear, and signal quality was good. The removable 1100 mAh Li-ion battery is rated for 700 hours talk time or 8 hours standby, which is quite low given the battery's theoretical capacity. Charge time is about 165 minutes.
Availability
The Philips 650 is now available throughout Europe in some language version.
Conclusion
