Nokia 2652 Review
Nokia 2652 Review
The Nokia 2652 introduced earlier this week is a cosmetic improvement of the one year old Nokia 2650, a low-end clamshell phone targeted for consumers in emerging markets. The phone will be available in Europe, Middle East, Africa and China, and estimated retail price is 100 EUR (£60 / $115) before subsidies or taxes.
No phone details were mentioned in the official press release and as far as I can tell, there are no new features, except that it comes in different colors, dark grey and pearl with white key mats. The review below is therefore based on what we know about the Nokia 2650.
The phone has a somewhat odd clamshell construction. The phone may be opened for an angle of almost 180 degrees and unfolded the phone looks like a beach chair. Not my kind of design, but maybe this makes the phone stand out from the crowd. The phones internal surface is made of rubber or soft plastic. According to Nokia the 2652 "builds on the success of the award-winning Nokia 2650".
Battery
According to Nokia the battery works for 2500 hours in standby mode and up to 3,5 hours the talk mode. Phone users report less than 150 hours of standby time and 40 - 50 minutes of talk time. The thruth should be something in between. Full charging takes 2 hours.
Keypad
The keypad is standrard and has a white backlighting. Flashing LED light alerts on the outside of the phone to announce incoming calls and messages. Useful - maybe, cool - for teenagers, yes! The only flaw is that the keypad
Failure To Launch: SpaceX Delays Mission
SpaceX's rocket launch was aborted Saturday morning. The next opportunity to try again will be early next Tuesday morning. SpaceX, working with NASA, is trying to send the first commercial spaceship to with International Space Station. Host Scott Simon speaks with NPR's Nell Greenfieldboyce.
Aborted Liftoff Delays Trip To Space Station
The privately funded, unmanned spacecraft was attempting its first flight to the International Space Station. The spacecraft had a one-second window to take off, and the failed launch means they won't be trying again for at least a few days.
gets really dirty over a period of time.
Screen
The 128 x 128-pixel, 4096 color TFT display is acceptable for a low-end model. An external display would be nice and can be found on many other low-end phones.
Applications
Being an low-end phone, the 2652 comes with only basic Series 40 phone features such as calendar, calculator, alarm clock, countdown timer and stopwatch. The 2650 had 3 games.
Phone book
You can store up to 250 names in the phone book. You can enter to 5 numbers for a name, which are primary, mobile, home, office, fax. E-mail address, web site url, post address and text note can be set as extra information to a number.
Organizer
You can store upto 100 entries such as meeting, call, birthday, reminder and memo. A notification may be assigned to an entry. The to-do list allows you to create events with priorities high, normal and low.
User Opinions for the 2650
Pros
- The relaibility factor is good
- Cheap
- Very cool design
- Excellent battery
Cons
- Keypad keys were very hard to press
- Hard to text in a hurry
- Keypad starts to bulge!
- No Bluetooth or infrared to download stuff from PC
- LCD screen easily gets scratched
- No camera
- Dualband
Conclusion
If you need a budget phone, the design appeals to you and the lack of features is not an issue, then consider.
