In addition to its synchronization woes, the radio module of the 7650 cannot be switched off to leave the rest of the device operational - so if you're in a spot where mobile phones aren't allowed, forget doing anything at all on the device.

| Lastly, the Nokia 7650 is to a small degree bothered by its low amount of RAM. 4 MB is available to the user initially, but add a few ringtones, take a few pictures and install a few applications and games, and you'll quickly drop below 2 MB of free RAM. The amount of RAM is however adequate and then some for normal use of the phone, but power users are sure to quickly find themselves in a tight spot.
Speaking of tight spots, the battery life of the 7650 leaves something to be longed for, although it delivers on Nokia's promise of 2-4 hours of talk time and up to 150 hours of standby time. Ones economy could also end up a bit on the tight side after shopping for a 7650; currently, unsubsidized 7650s retail from 700 EUR and upwards throughout Europe.
Conclusion
Despite its shortcomings in terms of synchronization, its low amount of RAM and a few minor flaws, the Nokia 7650 is a first-generation device Nokia can be proud of. During an intensive testing period of one week we experienced no crashes, and the phone delivered on all promises made by Nokia including battery life. The 7650 offers the richest feature set of any mobile phone or smartphone on the market today, and also does the best job of delivering a simple and user-friendly interface. We'd recommend it any day, unless you're heavily dependent on synchronization and have a frequently changing schedule and contacts list.
- What's positive: Brilliant display, good interface and rich feature set
- What's negative: Poor synchronization speed and battery life
