Comment Nokia 3650 Released in US Market (Score 2, Insightful) 344
OK, as someone that has had one of these babies for about three months now, I must caution you. The camera is handy, the video is cool (but ultimately kinda useless), and it is kind of a PDA. HOWEVER:
1. The Bluetooth is a little strange. I can't seem to get anything to bind to the device other than a headset. Nokia's other devices up until now have only supported the Headset profile in Bluetooth, so it is possible this device only has that profile and no others (connect to computer, adhoc network, etc.).
2. MMS is still an evolving standard, and the way this device does MMS is in some cases out of spec.
3. I HATE the keyboard. Say goodbye to keying things into it without looking at the keypad, at least for some time until you get really used to it. Good luck entering lots of PDA stuff, like contact information, on this keyboard.
4. The plastics are chincey.
5. The device has crashed on me about once a week.
The US carriers really vet their mobile phones hard, so possibly the 3650 sold in the US will have a better software load on it than the Hong Kong 3650 I have.
BTW: I agree strongly with the posters below regarding the Sidekick (made by Danger). If you are looking for a good device, go with that one. I haven't seen the color one yet (not yet out, but sometimes I get these things early), but note that the attachable camera on the B&W version takes very low res pics.
