People's smartphone Nokia 3650: Jack of all trades

Strange thing - costs only appear some new portable device, as immediately appears a burning desire to get it in undivided ownership. I do not know whether it's an ancient instinct of a wild troglodyte or plyushkinskaya mania of collecting useless, but the Nokia 3650 smartphone gives me a very materialistic sense. This unit is like to have in your own pocket. Very much attractive machine. Let's talk about 3650. Let us examine, count up to ask the price.

The younger among equals

Nokia 3650 - the second smartphone from the Series 60 range. The first was the "picture phone" with a collapsible (retractable) Keypad Nokia 7650. Right now, when 7650 arrived to shops in Russia, the new phone is an increased interest - sometimes highly practical, sometimes begrudgingly, dreamy. Surprising same thing. Just darling.

Model 7650 is positioned as a prestigious smartphone with advanced service capabilities (built-in camera is precisely as such). Hence the cost - in Moscow, about 540-550 dollars. Close grapes, but do not get it ... A few words about the Series 60 Platform. Became the basis of its operating system Symbian, the product of joint efforts of the company Psion and a consortium of manufacturers, which include and Nokia. Until recently, devices based on Symbian, though issued, but in limited quantities and proper distribution is not received. Called the appearance of the Nokia 7650 a breakthrough in this direction can not be - all we are talking about the toys in the five hundred dollars. This product is clearly not for the mass buyer. But the solutions implemented in 7650, very curious. Protocol support packet data GPRS, multimedia messaging system MMS, a lot of phone and handheld-computer "facilities - an organizer, a lot of useful programs. Finally, the big by the standards of smartphones and bright color screen. The system itself is very stable. Hang a program for the Nokia 7650 is no easy task (although against scrap no reception). Management - at the level of computer Psion, a good memory of which lives in the hearts of computerized public ... But - the price. Would be simpler and cheaper apparatus. Then maybe ... Once live. So indulge in little ways - offense suprotiv humanity.

And now - to pass. The market goes cheaper sibling model 7650 - Nokia 3650 smartphone. Relatively cheap as $ 350, which are expected to be sold for 3650, this is too much. On the other hand, during the presentation of the Nokia 7650 has been named a different price than that at which the selling smartphone today. Nothing lasts forever, but most do not last forever prices on cell phones. What had to sacrifice for the sake of reducing the cost of the new smartphone? Thank God a few. However, the 3650 and 7650 - two different apparatus, and not variants of one model. Therefore, direct comparison may be incorrect. Yet, still ... The first thing you notice, fun and even a few frivolous design. I looks like a smartphone, although the location of the keyboard - a circle - is questionable. But I need to quickly and touch dial a number? Fingers are buttons on the usual place by themselves. And then have to look into the layout and guess which is which. On the other hand - many smart keyboard is not at all. Replace button touch screen that the phone will not do. The design of the new smartphone is unexpected associations with the camera-cameras. And there is a reason, because Nokia 3650 is also a "photo-phone". And, with pretty good performance.If the first smartphone with built-in photo module it was a low resolution, sufficient only for the phone display, then the 3650 resolution of the light-sensitive sensor is 480x640 pixels, that is, a full VGA (only the image is oriented vertically). Photograph of such a resolution can even print, albeit in very small format (resolution is not enough even to print 9x12 cm). But consider, at a computer screen - no problem. Moreover, the smartphone can take small video clips which you can then send directly from your phone to your mailbox, not particularly puzzling synchronization with your computer. Then I allow myself to digress. In the industry of digital cameras is the same race megapixels, both in the field of computers - the race megahertz. The vast majority of digital camera owners are engaged in photography at elementary amateur, showing a minimum value of permits and thus saving the camera's memory. Trust me on word - VGA resolution is used by amateurs more often than 3 or 4 megapixels. Normal amateur photographer, shooting family, nature, and his own daily life, is not going to print colorful posters, as often is not going to print photos at all. Digital image on a computer screen perfectly replaces the long-forgotten slides. What else is removing a man need? It is for these residential and sensitive information in camera shots Nokia 3650 will be just right. The camera you take with you only to think of it, or going on a picnic. Same phone with you always, wherever we go. This is the first. And the second - built-in camera provides a unique opportunity to illustrate an address book on the phone (and PC) made with his own shots. Looked at the photo and immediately pops up all the memory related information about the right person. Convenient. Let us return to the construction of 3650. The smartphone does not look small, but it does not lack. Large and bright screen, but a large screen navigation button explains it all. Device recalls and portable game console, which also falls into the same apple - Nokia 3650 allows you to load into memory machine programs and run them. With such hardware, equipment, and a built robot arm (button-joystick on the five points) a game to be a must. In addition, 3650 is able to reproduce not only the applications for Symbian, but applets Java. This Klondike for programmers who are developing the latest diligently. Almost every day we report on various gaming titles for the Nokia Series 60 platform - from three-dimensional tetris up toys ...

By the way, but as with the memory? Built-in memory quite a bit - just 4 megabytes. It is used to store address information, and scheduling organizer and audio information (in the smartphone has a digital voice recorder and voice dialing), and photographs. But in addition to the main memory in 3650 has a slot for flash memory card format MMC. Let me remind you that this is one of the most popular formats used in MP3 players and handheld computers (those that have a slot SD, MMC compatible with the original). The presence of slots for memory cards, removes almost all the problems. The smartphone will not even need to connect to a computer, it suffices to take the contents of the card via an external reader.

And just a phone

As for the hardware equipment, even a cursory acquaintance with all the "twists" to this little girl imbued with respect. And $ 350 seems very little money. But you judge for yourself.

In 3650 embedded module Bluetooth. For gamers (and these do not keep you waiting), the total expanse, as the couple and more smartphones with a Bluetooth adapter can instantly join the network.Then - in the Nokia 3650 built-in modem and infrared. Fully implemented GPRS and once for us to record HSSSD (approximate analog technology packet data). Vibrating alert and polyphonic ringtones, full-featured organizer, clock with stopwatch, voice recorder upomnyauty already. What more could you want from a cell phone? Ah yes, the Internet ... In 3650 a WAP-browser version 2.0 with support XTHML (pages will look decently than familiar to us costive WAP-resources). There is a mail client that supports all popular protocols - POP, SMTP, IMAP. E-mail, browser, an infrared port, modem, camera, color screen, removable memory cards, GPRS ... Do not you think that the Nokia 3650 smartphone is able to take a pedestal of national pet? The manufacturer positions 3650 as "People's smartphone." If the case is complete without annoying design misses, then so be it. And there, staring, and competitors will catch up ... Simens, ay! Our beat! Is it time to replace the wonderful in all respects telephone ME-45 and its modifications with something more universal? Not that the uneven hour, catch up and giving the heel. Nokia does not sleep.
