Price Range:

Philips has been increasing its fashion line in particular by increasing the number of its clamshell solutions. Philips 650 that distinguished in long battery life and as a result long standby time was one of those interesting offers. Many customers complained of the absence of a digital camera and the company took their wishes into consideration releasing a renewed version called Philips 655. Unfortunately, this device was placed out of the Xenium line (devices with long working life). As a result the model is equipped with a standard 600 mAh Li-Ion battery. According to the manufacturer the device is capable of working for 400 hours in the standby mode and up to 4 hours in the talk mode. In Moscow the phone worked for about 3 days with 50 minutes of talks and up to 15 minutes of using other functions. That is a typical result for the device of this class. Full recharging takes about 1.5 hours.The design of the model will surely interest you. There is a large mirror on the external panel and it serves as a decoration and also allows taking self-photos. There is a VGA-camera gap above the mirror.

There is a plastic insertion resembling metal on the front panel and it also varies the appearance of the model. An external screen is near the bottom part of the phone, the screen is inversion. The resolution is 80×48 pixels and it shows a line with service icons and a line with system messages. A blue backlighting looks well.The quality of the display is not as high as in Samsung and Motorola devices but may surely compete with other manufacturers. The picture is not oversaturated with colours but clear and contrast. That makes a good combination of style and functionality; its interface created specially for the model is well drawn. Here the developers decided on worse drawn pictures to achieve a better view of everyday menu.
