The Nokia 2650 clamshell phone, released in October 2004, has the kind of specification that Nokia's rivals were releasing over a year earlier. In fact, the phone has nearly identical features to the Nokia 3100 that was released 15 months earlier! The Nokia 3100 had the advantages of being a nice-looking, lightweight phone, whereas the Nokia 2650 is neither nice-looking nor lightweight.
It is hard to say anything very positive about this phone, and it confirms the impression that Nokia don't yet "get" clamshells. Our advice would be: "look elsewhere!"
