Nokia 3600 Slide Mobile Phone

Nokia has been embarking upon all-round features and good quality phones. This phone is a similar offering of power-packed features retaining the utility functions. The slider technology styling has been quiet a hit among the Indian market with the popularity of Nokia 5200/5300/6500 etc.

This phone is based on the same styling and appeal with a bonus of varied features. If the prices are reduced further it could become the most popular slider phone ever in India by Nokia.

Design
The phone is based on a simple design and looks sophisticated, nothing flashy about its appeal. It as a design based on previous Nokia slider offerings with the same placements of buttons and the rectangular design. The phone has a 3.2 megapixel camera at its back with provision of flash. The loudspeaker is placed below the camera and it gets covered if you try holding the phone and listen to music through the loudspeakers. The slide is smooth but it doesn't feel as sturdy as the Nokia 6500. The display is a large 2-inch screen which boasts 16 million colors.

Key Features
The phone is a bundle of features as mentioned above and has host of functions to offer. One of the most popular features being the 3.2 megapixel camera with a dual-LED flash. The camera quality is good but not as the other Nokia phones offering the same imaging specification. The reason being it does not have a Carl Zeiss lens. This phone has a background noise cancellation facility which works satisfactorily. It doesn't completely zero down the background noise but it limits the noise levels and enhances the caller voice. It has a sum of 64 MB of internal memory out of which 30 MB is dedicated to content and data storage. It has expansion of up to 4 GB and includes a 512 MB card with the sales package.
The phone has VGA quality video recording feature and a unique TV connect option. The music player and the FM radio come in quiet handy when you want entertainment. The games run on J2ME which offers excellent quality games. It has an enhanced talktime of 5.5 hours, which enables lot of entertainment and utility.

Cons
Though nokia 3600 mobile phone is supplemented with all kinds of varied features like maps, music, camera capabilities etc but the quality is not the best of all. The camera feature is decent but doesn't seem like a 3.2 megapixel offering. The music quality is good on headphones but the loudspeaker quality doesn't match even the earlier Nokia phones abilities. The designing is very simple and no innovations on that front. The phone doesn't feel all that durable and the slide seems fragile but the build is good and you can bank upon Nokia's quality.

Conclusion
This phone is a 'Jack of all trades and master of none' and it truly comprises of all the features but doesn't specialize in any one. The pricing of the phone is still questionable and you would see the sales go up as some corrections in pricing are made.
