Nokia 3606 NOT recomended

28 Jun 2009 tesnik

5.3 out of 10

I purchased this phone after my 4 year old Motorola v262 was crushed by a 25lb weight damaging the outer mini display, otherwise I would still be using it. The NOKIA 3606 phone only lasted 2 months before I wasn't able to use it. The NOKIA 3606 life ended when I walking around my garage at a slow pace being aware the phone was in my pocket and not to damage it but somehow I must have bumped something without even noticing and I pull the phone out of my pocket to make a call and the outer mini display is cracked even though it hit 1/3 of an inch below the mini display from a dent I can see . Whatever I hit it wasn't hard cause I sure would have heard or felt the pressure against my leg. Not to mention that it also had the extra cushioning from my cotton pants. It is a nice looking phone but of poor quality inside and out. If you buy it I STRONGLY RECOMMEND PHONE INSURANCE because it is WEAK which I did not purcahse because my MOTOROLA V262 lasted 4 years and went through ALOT more than the NOKIA!!!!

Pros

nice looking, clear display, decent battery life, slim, lightweight, comes with some decent features.

Cons

weak structure, speakerphone distorts, can't hear people sometimes using handset, I come across too loud when using handset, software lags, don't like the feel of the flat one piece keypad, uncomfortable to take a pic with one hand

Winner of a Phone

20 May 2009 K. Standley

9 out of 10

This is another winner by Nokia. I generally try new phone makers every year, but this one seems consistent in offering good quality phones. This 3606 model, though, I really like as a phone. It's a winner in my book. Battery never seems to need a re-charge (okay, I'm not so popular where I'm on the phone all day). Priced reasonably compared to some of the gucci style phones,which I don't care for anyway, nor have the muscles needed to carry. Just would be nice to have more choices in colors, but I think I can buy aftermarket covers in an array of colors.

Pros

perfect size
never drops a call
battery life
price
FM radio
To-Do function
voice recorder

Cons

need more colors

Excellent phone. This model 3606 super easy to use, and has great signal. Never dropped a call after a couple of months. People can hear me perfectly, and the volume is more than adequate. Looks great, too. Nokia has another hit.

Pros

Always get good signal
Easy to use
Great reception
MP3
FM Radio
Great design
Feels comfortable in the hand

Cons
