Nokia 2630 and 1650
Discontinued 7th May 2007
The Nokia 2630 is Nokia's slimmest and
lightest handset to date at just 66 grams in weight
and coming in at only 9.9mm thick.
It's a somewhat basic but very practical
phone - the Nokia 2630 comes with a 128x160 pixel
TFT display in 65,000 colours, Bluetooth, a VGA resolution
camera and FM radio plus a web browser, GPRS, MMS
messaging and an email client.
Despite the Nokia 2630's light weight,
the battery gives an impressive 6 hours maximum talktime
and 13 days standby time.
The best feature of all is the price
- Nokia say that the 2630 should cost around €85 before
tax and subsidy which is a very good price for a stylish
and slim handset such as this.
Nokia are pitching the 2630 at developing
markets, but it is clear that this handset will have
a wide appeal worldwide.
A
step down from the 2630 is the Nokia 1650 which
is sits nearly at the bottom of Nokia's range. This
also features a 128x160 pixel display and an FM radio,
plus a flashlight.
Other features on the Nokia 1650 are
a 500 number phonebook, storage space for 250 SMS messages
and a stereo wired headset and optional speaker set
for use with the FM radio. There's no camera on the
1650.
The battery life on the Nokia 1650 is
one of the longest on any phone that we've come across,
a staggering 8 hours talktime with up to 17 days standby
time.
The Nokia 1650 only weighs 80 grams,
which is impressive considering the long battery life.
The trick Nokia have pulled off is to keep the number
of features down as much as possible which has advantages
when it comes to battery life, weight and price.
At just €55 before tax and subsidy,
the Nokia 1650 represents very good value for monet.
It certainly looks more expensive than that, and many
people will be pleased to be able to afford a colour
Nokia for that sort of price.
The Nokia 1650 will be available from
Q2 2007 in metallic red and metallic black colours.
