My phone does not display the GPRS counters icon (at Call Infomation->Call counters->) but only the GSM counters. Is is normal for phones that has not activated GPRS? Other brands does display GPRS counters regardless whether GPRS was activated or not.

Can't agreed more. Also hope that the external display will indicate something for SMS/miss call. Or even better, provide option to enable periodic alert for SMS/miss call.

I hope Philips will correct this random flashes in the next firmware version. I know this phone suppose to save power, but Philips can just use one character ! as an indication for outstanding items instead of larger icons at a more regular and shorter intervals. It would be better if useer can configure the interval they want. This phone is said to be for bussiness people and I think businness people can't afford to miss calls or SMSs in a random manner. I don't think we want to press the side button every minute in a meeting!

When there are missed calls or unread SMS, what time interval does the blue OLED flashes? Mine flashes at irregular intervals, like 4 mins then 10 mins. Is this normal or I have to upgrade the firmware? My version is 11.

You can just bring it to your local Philips service centre and request for a firmware upgrade. They will do it for you. No issue.

I bought philips 650 1 month ago, I have some oppinion:
1. A bit stupid software: SMS not arranged by time, can not download large file from computer, phonebook doesn't have birthday atribute etc...
2. Good battery life but can not active external LCD when it poweroff for saving energy.
3.Nice design
4.Philips doesn't have website for update firmware

Compatibility whith zedge apps is good in according with site specifications.

The address book is basically the same as the other phones. The only function I see lacking is to send the contacts out as business card via sms. It can only send out via infrared. As for the SMS function, it is similiar to siemens, sony ericsson type. Not as good as Nokia's T9 SMS function, but unless you are SMS king, I find its T9 good enough for daily use. You can choose to send SMS to multi or single contacts. The MMS function can do simple photo editing like add text, icon, frame, rotate.
