AT&T Service
This AT&T phone can handle high-speed data connectivity via AT&T's 3G mobile broadband data network, which is available in most major metropolitan areas. The AT&T 3G network uses the dual-band UMTS 850/1900 MHz network, which provides download speeds ranging from 700 Kbps to 1.7 Mbps, and upload speeds ranging from 500 Kbps to 1.2 Mbps. This makes it possible to enjoy a variety of feature-rich wireless multimedia services, and it gives you the advantage of offering simultaneous voice and data services.

In areas where the 3G network is not available, you'll continue to receive service on the AT&T EDGE network, which offers availability in more than 13,000 US cities and along some 40,000 miles of major highways. Providing average data speeds between 75-135Kbps, it's fast enough to support a wide range of advanced data services, including video and music clips, full picture and video messaging, high-speed color Internet access, and email on the go. You'll also enjoy quad-band GSM connectivity, which allows you to make calls in more than 190 countries and access data applications in the more than 135 countries where AT&T offers international data roaming.

With 3G connectivity, you'll be able to access AT&T's Video Share service, which enables you to send a live, one-way video stream to another compatible phone during a standard voice call. The service also allows you to switch the direction of the video stream during the same phone call. (Customers must be in an area served by the company's 3G network and have a Video Share-enabled phone.) A majority of users in the architecture, engineering and construction industries rated the ability to share live video through Video Share highly, according to research commissioned by AT&T. Video Share lets you see progress on a job site or review the day's work without having to drive from an office or other site to do so.

You can take advantage of the AT&T Navigator GPS software and service, a full-featured premium navigation application that includes audible turn-by-turn directions, real-time traffic updates and re-routing options, and 3D moving maps (additional charges applicable). AT&T Navigator offers several other features to make your commute more enjoyable and reliable, including mobile access to Yellowpages.com. Additionally, AT&T Navigator is the only mobile phone-based GPS service that provides integrated speech recognition for address entry and points of interest search.

With 3G connectivity, you'll be able to access AT&T's Cellular Video (CV) service and the Internet while on the go. Cellular Video features content from CNN, The Weather Channel, iFilm, Comedy Central and exclusive premium content from HBO and much more. And you get access to AT&T Mobile Music, which enables you to buy tracks while on the, access the Napster and eMusic subscription music services, stream music video, discover what's playing with Music ID song-recognition software, and find out what's hot with The Buzz music news portal. (A MEdia Max subscription bundle is recommended for accessing AT&T's Internet, video, and music services.)

Instantly contact any other AT&T user with this phone's Push-to-Talk (PTT) functionality, which works across the entire network to make sure you have a clear signal so you can get things done. Easy-to-read icons let you know when members of your contact list are available, not available, or have their status set to "Do Not Disturb." You can also set your own status to let others know that you're busy. When a quick PTT call needs to be a longer discussion convert the call easily to a regular voice call--works for one-to-one calls as well as group calls. Save time on group calling by pulling up your contacts and simply "marking" those you wish to include on a call--no need to set up and save groups before calling, unless you want to.

The phone has a built-in web browser for MEdia Net downloads and mobile web browsing. AT&T's MEdia Net service enables you to receive and send emails, read news headlines, get weather updates, download games and ringtones, and more.

Flip open your mobile phone anytime and connected to your friends via the GPS-enabled Loopt social networking service.

Loopt Social Networking
The optional Loopt social networking service is really more "social mapping," using GPS location technology to connect you to your friends. It provides the ability to find where friends are and what they’re doing via interactive maps, instantly share photos and comments with friends and communities and discover and explore nearby places and events friends have recommended. Your mobile phone now becomes a social compass.

No need to manually update location; simply pull out your phone and see where your friends are and what they are doing. Once friends are found, text or IM them right from the map. You can even set alerts to be notified when friends are nearby. Access your Loopt account from your mobile phone and computer--everything you can do on Loopt mobile, you can do on the web.

The 6650 features a 2-megapixel camera, Bluetooth stereo music streaming, and compatibility with 8 GB MicroSD cards.

The S60 operating system enables you to personalize your mobile experience, providing access to tens of thousands of applications for anything from gaming to productivity as well as themes and profile settings.

The 6650 has an internal 30 MB memory, which can be expanded via optional MicroSD memory cards (up to 8 GB in size).

You can also capture video clips up to 60 minutes in length (depending on available memory on your inserted memory card), and it records clips at a 240 x 320-pixel resolution at 15 frames per second (fps).

The digital audio player is compatible with MP3, WMA, and AAC/eAAC+ formats, and it offers playlist and random/repeat playback. You can use your music tracks for ringing, game, and alert tones. This phone also includes an XM Radio application to access radio broadcast thru the Internet (additional charges applicable).

4.0 out of 5 stars I mostly love this phone, March 31, 2009

By	Northwind (Detroit, MI United States) - See all my reviews

First of all, this is my 5th nokia phone over the years, and this one did not disappoint. Call quality was the most important thing to me, and I've had no trouble there. That said, I also am a sucker for a good design, and the 6650 just plain looks & feels good. So here's my own pro & con list.

pros:
* great design. very compact, slim, way cool lit up keypad
* no problems with call quality
* haven't had any problems texting thanks to the small dimples to keep my thumbs oriented
* takes decent pictures, but remember that this is a phone, not a camera people!
* bought a memory card & a data cable, so I can now have almost 2gb of my own music arranged in playlists
* wonderful display - once I changed the background to show more contrast.
* one touch button to access AT&Ts navigator gps system.

cons:
* wish I could disable the PTT side button too, but it's not THAT big of a pain to cancel out of
* wish there was more of a visible cursor when texting. Maybe a contrasting color block instead of a very thin vertical line?
* don't like that it requires a special tiny earphone plug, but then again I'm not planning to replace my ipod with it, so it's not that big a deal

All in all, I've been very happy with this little phone.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not the best phone, May 5, 2009

By	Marilyn (Georgia) - See all my reviews

I have had several Nokia phones, but this one was a disappointment. It is very attractive (I love red) and easy to handle, but I had so much trouble. It could have just been my phone......it would not hold the charge and whenever it wanted to, it would just shut off....no warning. I had to change phones because my phone is my business. All other phones have been great and the people at AT&T were fabulous! MD

3.0 out of 5 stars Good phone - not too complicated, May 7, 2009

By	Brabytrain - See all my reviews

I love Nokia phones and I really prefer flips so this phone was perfect for me. It offers some smart phone features, but it really isn't. Actually I think I'm on the more "basic" side of things so I don't even utilize most of the pre-installed features ATT put on it.

A couple cons:

- the phone can really pinch your fingers when opening
- I haven't been able to disable the Media Net, PTT, or GPS smart keys so I think I'm getting charged for some of them even though I only accidentally hit the keys...
- The red color is a bit pink - expect some comments if you are a guy

Pros:
- Nokia so it's good quality. Battery life is solid
- Feels solid and is pretty user friendly
- Can't beat the price

I am not a huge techie so I have to read other reviews so I see how to disable some of the features and/or add free ones...
