Thread: Nokia 3600 Mobile Phone

The Nokia 3600 slide phone is a 2G phone that lets you appreciate what mobiles are meant to be make and receive calls. Based on series 40 user interface, the 3600 is a downgraded sibling of the 6600 slide phone. The phone is simple and is pretty pocket friendly too weighing just 97 grams with the battery.The screen measures 2in and is capable of displaying 16 million colours. Opening the slider reveals the numeric keypad with white backlight.You can perform almost all the functions of the phone even when the slider is closed, except for dialing numbers that are not present in the contact list.

The keypad is pretty comfortable to use.The presence of a five-way navigation pad also makes it simple to access the phones'functions.The build quality ofthe phone is pretty decent, with the back made of plastic and the camera area made of steel. A gripe that we have with the phone is that it attracts finger smudges which can make the phone lose its shine pretty early.On the memory front, the phone comes with 64MB of internal memory and is bundled with a 512MB microSD card. The phone can accept up to 4GB of microSD card.

On the multimedia front, the phone features a 3.2-megapixel camera with autofocus,8x digital zoom and a double LED flash. However, the picture quality from the camera is average. The phone also has an FM tuner and a music player.The user can enjoy the music experience via stereo headphones provided with the 3600 Slide.There is also a TV out option that lets you watch the videos on TV.



The phone features Bluetooth as the only wireless connectivity method.The email protocols supported by the phone are IMAP4, POP3 and SMTP.The Nokia 3600 Slide comes with a SMS text message service and a Nokia Xpress audio messaging service. The phone also comes pre-installed with Nokia maps application that helps you to get directions to your destination.

The battery life of the phone is decent and with EDGE support, you can surf the internet at speed. we feel that the 3600 Slide will appeal to users who want an easy to use slider phone with a Nokia label. However, there are better functional sliders available in the market by other brands at much reasonable rates.
