Following the announcement of the launch of the Nokia 6650 at CeBIT back in March, the handset is now on sale in the UK and is available exclusively through T-Mobile.

The 6650 is "optimised" for use with T-Mobile services, and is exclusive to the operator. In the UK it is available on all T-Mobile pay monthly tariffs, both Flext and Combi.

On the Combi tariff the handset comes with unlimited text, internet use and 700 minutes for 18 months. Handset price has not yet been confirmed, but at launch it was said to be as low as one euro, so we expect a "from free" price tag.

The phone offers integrated GPS and multimedia player, and "easy access" to T-Mobile services such as Web'n'walk, MyFaves, Mobile Jukebox and NaviGate.

In addition, the stainless-steel clad clamshell offers HSDPA data connectivity, a 2.2-inch TFT QVGA colour display, dedicated music keys, built-in AGPS, a 2-megapixel camera with flash, 30MB of internal memory, a microSD card slot, FM radio and Bluetooth.
