This is a low-end clamshell by Nokia equipped with light indication of incoming events. Functionally it repeats the 2650 and differs only in body colours.

A keypad is comfortable and the keys have a back motion that makes working more comfortable. A navi button doesn't have an OK key and it is necessary to use soft keys. The keypad backlighting is white; it is even and very bright and may be seen well in different conditions.

There is a light indicator that works at incoming call or other event, the device starts blinking on the sides (in a closed mode in the middle of the body). The backlighting color is blue and the function may be turned off by your wish.Special prominent parts of the keyboard prevent keys from pressing the screen in a closed mode. The dimensions are 85 x 46 x 22.9 mm thus the clamshell is not large may be a bit thick. The weight is 97 grams.

The screen is completely the same as in the first models based on the 40 platform and shows up to 4096 colors, 5 text lines. The resolution is 128x128 pixels; the quality of the picture is not very high but is acceptable for the low-end device. The screen fades in the sun.

What Works: Keep a Food Diary
Journaling helps expose bad habits that may otherwise fly under the radar, so you can change them. When you write down what you eat, you eat less. A study showed that keeping a food diary was a better predictor of weight loss than even exercise!

Do It Your Way
Beat journal boredom—and the guilt that comes with committing that cookie to paper—by planning your ideal eating day: Essentially, keep a "reverse" diet diary where you map out your menu ahead of time and try to stick to it. Track your victories, too: Buy gold star stickers and put one in your planner for every serving of veggies. The positive reinforcement builds confidence and motivation, and that's key to success,

Outsmart These Diet Traps
Our best eating-plan pairings for 5 of the most common rough spots

Fancy dinner out

The formula: Boost Protein + Volumize

Have a high-protein snack midafternoon (such as almonds and fresh fruit) to take the edge off your hunger. Then order a bowl of broth-based soup or a green salad before the meal.

Overscheduled day

The formula: Journal + Use Meal Replacements

The night before, try to plan out your day with a reverse food journal. Toss a bar or shake and an apple in your bag in case plans change or you're starving with no time to buy lunch.

The 4 PM munchies

The formula: Cut Carbs, Volumize + Boost protein

Skip hunger-stimulating refined carbs like sweets and white bread in favor of only whole grains, such as whole wheat crackers (pick those that contain at least 3 g of fiber per serving). Bulk up your lunch with extra vegetables, like grape tomatoes, baby carrots, or red bell pepper strips, and be sure to have a few ounces of protein, such as thin slices of lean ham on whole grain bread or a chopped egg and a handful of sunflower seeds on a salad.

A party buffet

The formula: Boost Protein + Volumize

Fill at least three-quarters of your plate with low-calorie buffet standbys that are rich in fiber, water, or (low-fat) protein, such as shrimp cocktail, vegetables, lean meats, and fruits.

Late-night cravings

The formula: Journal + Volumize

Jot down what you eat on every trip to the kitchen. If you must munch while watching TV, choose low-cal foods you can eat more of, like air-popped popcorn or a plate of cut up veggies.
