Dear readers, today I’ll write again something technical, for it is indeed time again. This will be today at a mobile phone the Nokia brand, I got a contract extension. Well … … it was a total of two of the Nokia mobile phone and as a bonus there was also a pre-paid – Cell Phone by Motorola and a few other things, but something more on that later.
Now I write about a very simple mobile phone brand Nokia, called Nokia 1650th As always, I’ll include the specifications for the interested and who do not want to scroll. Although I will from time to directly bring in some of the technical data of experience. Enough of the preface, now we get to the data.
The technical data
Source : All original details of Nokia, and only for information, therefore, not by me:
From the Manufacturer
The sophisticated Nokia 1650 phone offers an appealing design and a host of practical features and applications that help users to combine professional and private life in a balanced manner. In addition, the Nokia 1650 mobile phone has a flashlight, an FM radio for musical entertainment on the go and MP3 ringtones. An integrated application for recording of the call duration allows the settling of time limits for individual calls. In this way, the Nokia 1650 mobile phone needs to meet cost control, which is especially important in entry markets.
General
MPN : 0028681, 0029535
Product Type : Cellular phone with FM radio:
Here I can get started right times, clearly it is a radio, it works, it is possible due to hear through headphones, but that was it for now. I myself have only been tested. It only works on the headset, which you must then also connect. Then you have to look in the menu, there you can just manually or automatically seek channels that are strong enough to be able to receive. I must say here, however, it is not worth it, because the quality of reception is only OK and the sound through the headset as standard. But if you have a strong station, then one can also hear noise-free. Advantage is the only one the headset as an accessory it has now. For users who do not have high expectations, it’s OK.

Ringtones

Although that sounds pretty good, but also the choice of these sounds is not necessarily everything that can be of high quality Nokia mobile phones. But this is a very simple mobile phone, hence there OK and you can not expect much more and it should not. I can not make any Lupo compared to a Mercedes.
Organizer :
Since it has only 8 MB available, the Organizer, while useful and you can also make entries to remember also be on schedule. One can also enter birthdays and they also add in an annual reminder. Everything fits, but I use a mobile phone than organizer. Who can do it, it has.

When the screen saver immediately falls on the negative display. If it has something darker, one can hardly recognize where that is.
Why this phone?
Now I wanted a contract extension, but the offer was not so good, so I have terminated the contract I had and I look around me at getmobile.de and there is then a top offer eye-pleasing, what the contract I had the came very close. As a bonus, there was two of Nokia phones with contract, a pre-paid mobile phone from Motorola with 5 € starting balance, a notebook HP 550 and the PS3, plus I could not then say no, because it fit and if I do everything together and against reckon I’ve done everything as 400 € Plus, after deduction of monthly charges for 2 years.
Overall, these phones do not interest me, but I have and will sell them soon, because my expectations can not make this phone, I am accustomed to better and will stay there too.
The first time :
That is very simple, you just have to introduce the SIM card into the SIM card slot, they fix, and then charge the battery inside the charger the battery. If all this is clear, cell phone turn on, what’s the red telephone receiver (hang up) and enter the PIN … done. There is no CD to install software with it because it just does not have functions that have a high quality mobile phone.
Handling:
Here I can only say, Nokia is simply exemplary in terms of menu, you have a Nokia, one knows all, so you have even the meager manual have to come to terms with the phone. You can show the keys as desired, (take listeners = green), for example instant messages to the left and right over the phone keys or just (lay listeners = red) above the
Menus :
This is of communications, by telephone or security settings, radio, alarm clock, organizer, etc. If you “choose” then clicking the option with this feature and confirmed the rest is self explanatory. But to mention still a few features to make it clear, what I call the most important.
PIN change, here you have the old PIN first, then confirm the new and completed:
Ringtones that can be queried by list, listen and then decide on one. This can also signal via SMS, so then one can assign a ringtone
Profile, here you can retrieve from silent to various other settings, all you need Sun
SMS, as with any other phone.
Address Book, you can simply enter all of the telephone number to store addresses. Sure everything is automatically assigned alphabetically.
Games, as mentioned above, there are three games you can play, if you like it can gamble a little and pass the time, but are not the top.
Radio, you can set it manually or automatically search for the strongest stations. But better is the Direct Input, so you get faster the transmitter. The radio receives only FM.
Alarm clock, organizer, calculator can click, enter, everything works perfectly, but in part thanks to the lousy displays difficult to read. In the light still quite OK, already in the dark a little harder to detect.
I think these are the most important, not too much more to offer this phone also is just a very plain and simple phone.
Reception:
Here I can say is quite good and I had despite base (E-Plus) and no interference is almost always a very good reception. Bad it is in a basement or where electrical cables run very many, but there are also other problems with cell phones.
The headset:
It can be used not only as a headset, it also has the function of the speakerphone. The sound is mediocre but of course, arises in speakerphone hardly any noise. Assume the talks do with a head that is directly on the holder. The understanding of speech, then goes through the speaker can be activated the Sun But strong in high ambient noise fluctuates but if the recipient will hear it. Here, the phone should then but to be quite close to the mouth to be understood better. Comfort is not exactly top min, after some 10th does one hurt the ear, because the plugs do not cover.
Lighting / Display:
The lighting is actually quite strong, so you can see in the dark and enter as the keyboard, SMS or phone numbers. But what is, unfortunately, by the resolution of the display in turn severely limited. Here you can even if the sun is visible on the display as good as anything, you have to look for something Shady then a text message to read or write can be.
Flashlight:
* Laughs * well, something special must indeed have such a simple cell phone and this phone has a flashlight. OK … … …, it is not the hit, but it lights up and you would definitely find a keyhole, or if it is really dark times and can see something. Far it is not lit, but when you really need something light times, it works.
Processing:
Here it is again Mosern to nothing or to criticize, because the workmanship is very good, despite the low weight is the mobile phone robust and stable. The keys are very well placed, just dial the letters or cubicles very well, so you can also press a little thicker fingers the keys very well, without having to press several keys. The Middle cursor, with rocker switches to the top, right, left and down by pressure point for navigating very well.
Battery or SIM card exchange is also very easy because the back cover can be removed without problems and so it’s very good at the high-quality battery or the SIM card.
Battery capacity:
Since this phone is not so much the battery is really good, you can call it without any problems, who you just 1 week on the phone long. Sure, it depends on how long the talks and the discussions are given. If you have the phone off, and very little use, for example, Alarm clock stops only, it is even very much longer without it must load. The charging time is 2 hours, then the battery is full again.
Audio quality:
Now when you here the headset useless it is OK on the phone itself, it is also OK, because you can adjust the volume, yes. It is but if you look to other mobile phones, or even knows which are several times more valuable, such as Nokia N 70 can not be compared. I say it this way because it really is a very simple mobile phone, you can Mosern do not you understand everything, and can be understood well from the other.
Maintenance:
Here I feel bound to fall to one notices, because if you consider that the display is not necessarily always top, you should avoid that the display also would collect scratches. Sorry, but you can not leave the protective film on the screen, because then you see even less. So at best in a cell phone pocket and then it is protected. Otherwise, every now and then just wipe with a damp cloth and ready.
Instructions:
It is kept very small, but also described very clearly and very simply. All you can do with the phone, is described there and you can abide by these instructions, if something should not know. This Nokia is always quite good, because they do not make complicated.
Among the pictures:
This time I made only 7 pictures that say everything about this phone is also able to explain in graphic form, in terms of appearance and functionality.
Figure 1:
It shows the phone from scratch, as it is just, plain and simple.
Figure 2:
It shows the phone with the box, which was not much larger than the handset itself, this is also the fact that it is just a simple mobile phone, where no software is needed.
Figure 3:
It shows the phone with what was supplied to accessories, so the phone itself, the charger, the headset and the manual.
Figure 4:
Here you can see very clearly that the lighting is not that bad, but it also illustrates that the display does not just bring a lot of her resolution. Here, I once introduced a dark background to show that it is really difficult to read, if it is very bright.
Figure 5:
It shows the acceptance button on the headset, what the speakerphone is activated, stole and easy.
Figure 6:
It shows the back and clear which combination of colors it has, it would not be my color, but it just came.
Figure 7:
It shows how the flashlight is on, the lighting a bit thin, but if it is really dark, you can at least see a little more than without.
Django’s final conclusion :
So, for me, the Nokia 1650 is no choice, even if I have it, but this phone takes nothing I want, or just presupposing what a cell phone for me must have at least. All that this phone can do is indeed very simple, and limited to the essential, but nothing more. I expect a cell phone much more, it starts with
Bluetooth, you can insert additional cards to the store to expand, Top Screen, where you can also see all the camera where you can sometimes take a few snapshots that look too good then, very clearly have to look, etc.
With this phone, it just happens because it is simple, not much does, you can get it even without a contract for less than 100 € NEW on Ebay, or even in retail. It is also often taken as a top mobile phone, Nokia’s see about this phone on the market. Although the words just as an entry phone, all of which met to control costs, but it is still very much nobler packed. Many think it is some what more can a cell phone and are then sorely disappointed if they get it.
Sure, I got this phone eh never considered to use it extensively, I have used it to know enough, a simple phone for me, it must always be a high quality, what a lot longer than this,,,, ,,,,,,, and I must say YES ** ** It must be a high quality mobile phone. That’s really the same as if you have a luxury car and then has a very small car, change to what has just not and can not.
It starts with the display, it’s just lousy, one can not or hardly recognize. Plus 8 MB of memory, so you can start today, nothing more. The ring tones are also output as MP3 ringtones, as hopes of quality, but these are just simple and not extensible. No MMS function, no I-net, even if I do not use it, no camera, where you can take pictures with, etc.
This phone can not, it’s a very simple, plain-featured mobile phone with the greatest need. While you might think now, OK. If you need only these functions, it would be top, because the price can not be topped …. But when you really have this phone … … … .. but will be taught a lesson.
No child would not trust herself in the school because it has nothing. Older people who use so many features not eh, who can then see on the screen has nothing, so no sense. So you can really use the phone only if you have ZERO rights and eagle eyes, for which I could recommend it then.
From me, even when I’m Nokia fan, only a conditional recommendation, because even a modest and simple mobile phone could at least have a decent display.
Positive:
I can only say that the processing, handling, menu navigation, the user guide, radio and flashlight I add the odd ago. Then the price just yet, for under 100 € without contract a new mobile phone is not to be despised.
Negative:
And that really is the most important thing is just more like the weak display, everything else you can indeed say, in terms of equipment, but would be wrong here, because it is a simple cell phone.
From me there is therefore only three stars, and a conditional recommendation, because who pays attention to anything that can not acquire more favorable and well-made phone.
I, for myself, I will not keep these two mobile phones in any event and sell, because they do not correspond to what I want and expect from a cell phone.I hope you could make this phone a little closer, if still ask are open, like the PGB, I try to answer them.
Wish all my confidant, readers a super nice and peaceful Christmas and fall you should not read, even a healthy and successful start into the new year 2009.
Pros : Price, processing, handling
Cons : display, more like just MIES
