With its shiny, metallic finish and its smooth curves, the candy bar-style Motorola C650 makes a great first impression. Measuring just 4 by 1.7 by 0.8 inches and weighing a mere 3.2 ounces, the phone fit comfortably in our palm and disappeared easily into a jeans pocket. We weren’t that impressed, however, with the 65,000-color, 1.5-inch-diagonal display. Despite the screen’s relatively high resolution, colors looked pale and washed out, and images were lacking in detail. We’ve seen plenty of other 65,000-color screens that were much sharper and more vivid.
The rear of the phone houses the little VGA-resolution camera with 4x digital zoom. I never understood why somebody would want a poor-quality camera in the phone. The pictures it takes are pretty bad, but at least you can adjust the exposure (brightness) and zoom in (in steps) using the joystick on the front panel. The phone is not super-light, which contributes to its solid feel. The problem with solidity arises when there is too much of it. Although many people will not open the phone again before they get a new one (to replace the battery or the SIM card), the ones that will have to open it will have a surprise awaiting them.
