Nokia 3650 Review - Video Recorder / Profiles / Favorites


Video Recorder Menu

Record 15 second videos from here. You can change where the videos are stored or what the default save name should be under settings.

Video is largely uncharted territory for cell phones. Props to Nokia for including this function as it will appeal to a lot of people. However, the quality needs to be better.

Taking videos at 640 x 480, the picture quality is very grainy and the colors are definitely a little off as you can see from our screenshot. Also, you can't take videos and record sound at the same time.

It's also too bad that you can only take 15 seconds at a time, creating a 95 KB file as a result. But since life is made up of a lot of short moments, this camera should do well in capturing some of them. You can also transfer them easily to your computer via infrared or Bluetooth to save space.

Create and modify the preset profiles for various situations that you will be in.

If you're in a quiet setting, you can change the profile to quiet (1 of 5 settings) which will modify the appropriate settings so that your cell phone won't disturb anyone.

You can choose a profile by scrolling to your desired profile and clicking "Activate."

Ever since Nokia's old school phones, profiles have been a part of the phone. The interface is simple and straightforward. Once again, I really like the more graphical approach to menu navigation rather than those normal text menus. If you've ever dealt with older Nokia's that have the profile feature, the one on the 3650 is much more centralized and easier to use.

This feature is key - especially for those people who are in and out of a variety of situations. Going from the office or class to having fun with friends to being in a movie theater, you can customize your 5 profiles to be able to fit any scenario. It's a great idea that is very applicable to people today. So great that we don't know why all the other phone companies aren't jumping to include something like this.


Favorites Menu

Central storage for all your often used applications, frequently accessed files, or general random stuff.

Provides quick access to these items without having to navigate through a lot of folders.

Another great idea. Because this phone has so many functions, everything will be pretty spread out among many many folders. Favorites is a way to keep all your, well, favorite content and applications within arms reach. No more searching though tons of folders for each thing you want. It's all here - once you tell the phone to put a shortcut there. It's kind of like a second desktop or main menu that's even more customizable.
