Landy Mann Online: Nokia 1650 - Review 4.5/5

by Landy Mann

Some of you may wonder why review a phone that costs less than £ 15? Well the main reason is that it is my newest piece of technology and many people believe that a phone is just to send emails and text messages but I do not agree with that there is the school of thought that is a waste of money to buy an expensive phone invar iably are lost, stolen or damaged.It is also the fact that people simply do not want / afford an expensive phone - with me into this category, or more precisely can not be bothered by an expensive phone.

Now, I had my general chat on mobile, which is the 1650s to live with? Well, he runs the Nokia / Symbian Series 30 platform is much more restrictive than the Series 40 or S60 awesome interface.My personal preference is the S30 or S60 as it's all or nothing for me, the 30 series does not get much ventilation, but normally it is and evolution of the operating system used on 3410, I found that the 40 series tries to be what it is not and it can be seen by the fact that it is used on the Nokia 5200 all the way to 6500, Series 60 is normally only available on contract second hand was not an option for me.

The 1650s can call and text, it also has an FM radio which needs to use the supplied head set as an antenna but has a speakerphone function, it also contains a flashlight that is a offering almost standard Nokia on their low end phone, a feature that I have never met before is talking clock function which, although an interesting idea, the number of menus and lack of clarity makes not worth it, as mentioned on the radio can be played if the speaker, who although a little quiet which is a leitmotif about this phone, the reduced volume makes the speaker much better than my brothers 5200, the duration of battery life is something I'm still not sure it is on two bars and has not been charged since Tuesday and stayed for 11 hours at night until 9 or 10 this morning with the radio on head phones, it also takes the BL5-C battery, which means that almost broke my 7610 can be used to give me a battery life of over 1 and a half weeks....

Landy Mann Online: Twitter on the Nokia 1650

by Landy Mann

As many of you know I am a large fan of twitter - I even have the twitter gadget installed on this very blog! I suspect that you are wondering how I can write a post about how to get twitter on 1650 as you can see from my review that it can't do wap or have any installable applications, what it can do however is filter incoming messages, this is some thing that I have never looked at on the grounds that I there isn't any who a don't want to talk to that has my number (lucky me!). Any way this is how you set twitter up on it. First make sure that if you are in the UK you are running an O2 or Vodaphone sim card, when you sign up to used you phone you need to send the pass key to 86444 instead of the isle of man bassed +44* number, once this has been done you can enter your following page and select the phone icon witch will turn green, this means that you can now recive updates to you phone for that person, now all you need to do is go into Messages > Message Settings > No. screening > Options > Add Number > Search > Twitter and then just OK it, if you haven't added twitter to your contacts I recomend you do it before you start or you can just enter 86444 on the add number page.
