All in all a decent phone i guess.. SO under-designed though.
Felt cheap and the keypad was horrible. No tactile sensation at all.

Snapped a few pics and they came out ok. Not any better or worse than the MCA-20.

I'm afraid the only thing capable of saving this phone is if there will be LOADS of Java applications for it.

Bet one thing you guys wouldnt know. This NOKIA 7650 DOES NOT support bluetooth headset! Though it does have built in bluetooth chip, it is only capable for connecting to the pc. Eat your heart out!

7650 is not the best mobile phone you can get, but perhaps the best PDA phone you can get

I had a bad feeling holding it opening the slide, it looks like my old 7110, but just the slide looks like that mighty phone... I really liked the GUI, but a lot of functions are missing or incomplete, if compared with a classic PDA. I've took some pictures but the lens of my old MAVICA are still more impressive. I would like to compare them with Ericsson quality, anyway someone did it and posted his impressions...

I think it is the best phone on the market. It has a lot of features that work smooth.. I gave my t68i to my girlfriend and I think that this Nokia beats the P800! Why? Cause I think that it is better to have a phone that you can handle with one hand instead of the pen that you have to use to controll the P800. The Symbian OS works perfect and it is SO FAST! I recommend this phone to those who use a lot of GPRS

I've checked the flash animation (the link is posted into another topic) and it seems that the P800 has a jog 'something' (I don't remember the name... it's a sony stuff), and even a button on the other side. Does it mean that the touch screen is not always needed, at least not for a call, like on the other sony mobiles? Than the keyboard is just like a standard mobile, but I would like to 'taste' the keys...
Anyway I'm using a pocket pc and the touch screen is not that bad, and the chance to syncronize with a pc is usefull.
I have no dubts about it: I will buy the P800. I just do not like its GUI; the Nokia is different from the Windows-like standard, quite unique, and I was really impressed by the clearness of each menu.

One thing i didn't like with the 7650 was the joystick, it's places totaly wrong. i realize that the screen is in the way.. but why have a Joy if it's useless.. and the keypad is really really really bad.

the editor of this article quotes the price for the 7650 as £149/$230/€235

http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/54/26772.html

not sure where its available at this price but it backs up my theory of this phone being reduced to given away status very soon
