The Nokia 7650 is a 2.5G consumer-oriented mobile phone belonging to the fashion and experimental (7xxx) series. It was introduced in Barcelona on 19 November 2001,{{cite press release |title=Nokia's first imaging phone marks start of Multimedia Messaging era |url=http://company.nokia.com/en/news/press-releases/2001/11/19/nokias-first-imaging-phone-marks-start-of-multimedia-messaging-era |work=Nokia |date=19 November 2001 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160924133635/http://company.nokia.com/en/news/press-releases/2001/11/19/nokias-first-imaging-phone-marks-start-of-multimedia-messaging-era |archive-date=24 September 2016 |access-date=26 September 2019}} and was described by CEO Jorma Ollila as the company's most important launch of that year.{{cite web |last=Orlowski |first=Andrew |title=Nokia 7650: smart phone, shame about the price |url=https://www.theregister.co.uk/2001/11/20/nokia_7650_smart_phone_shame/ |website=The Register |date=20 November 2001 |access-date=26 September 2019}}

Feature-rich, it was the first Nokia phone with a built-in camera (VGA resolution), and thus its imaging capabilities was widely marketed. It has a large (at the time) 2.1" colour display with a resolution of 176x208 pixels. The 7650 was also the company's first to feature Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS), and it also has Bluetooth and GPRS connectivities{{Cite web|url=https://www.teltarif.de/arch/2001/kw47/s6599.html|title=Nokia: Handy mit eingebauter Kamera|first=Volker|last=Schäfer|website=www.teltarif.de|date=20 November 2001 }} (although to much criticism did not support Bluetooth headsets).{{cite web |last=Choong |first=Aloysius |title=Nokia 7650 Review |url=https://www.zdnet.com/product/nokia-7650/ |website=ZDNet |date=6 January 2003 |access-date=26 September 2019}} It was also the first Nokia phone with sliding keypad, the second being the Series 40-based Nokia 6111, released in 2005.

In addition it was the first Series 60 platform device (which would go on to power the majority of Nokia smartphones for many years after), as well as the first mass market Symbian OS device to be released,{{Cite web|url=https://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/11/29/symbian_history_part_two_ui_wars/|title=Symbian's Secret History: The battle for the company's soul|website=www.theregister.co.uk}} allowing the sideloading of both Java and EPOC applications.

These factors made the 7650 much-hyped at the time, especially as it came almost four years after the formation of Symbian Ltd.{{Cite web|url=https://www.theregister.co.uk/2002/08/21/nokia_7650_the_camera_phone/|title=Nokia 7650 – the camera phone future?|website=www.theregister.co.uk}} It was eventually released on 26 June 2002 for around €600. Good sales of the 7650 helped Symbian OS to become the top product in the European "handheld devices market" in Q3 2002, above Palm OS and Windows CE.{{Cite web|url=https://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-launches-smartphone-assault/|title=Microsoft launches smartphone assault|first=Matthew|last=Broersma|website=ZDNet}} By this time its successor Nokia 3650 was introduced.

The handset's release was promoted in conjunction with the science fiction film Minority Report.{{Cite web|url=https://readwrite.com/2014/10/23/nokia-movies-cameos-product-placement/|title=Hello Neo: Nokia Exists Only In Movie Form (Mostly)|date=October 23, 2014}}

The 7650's significance for its time has been hailed in later years, with many considering it as being one of the most important mobile devices and one of Nokia's most iconic products.{{Cite web|url=https://www.phonearena.com/news/Nokias-forgotten-smartphones_id71813|title=Nokia's forgotten smartphones|first=Peter|last=K|website=Phone Arena|date=22 July 2015 }}{{Cite web|url=https://blogs.windows.com/devices/2013/07/25/the-incredible-history-of-nokia-camera-phones-in-pictures/|title=The incredible history of Nokia camera phones in pictures|date=July 25, 2013|website=Microsoft Devices Blog}}{{cite web |title=Retrospective: Nokia 7650 |url=https://www.refurbstore.co.uk/blog/a-look-back-at-the-nokia-7650 |website=RefurbStore blog |date=28 February 2025 |url-status=live }}
