Anyway, a Walkman mobile phone is not recognized by its camera or its display. A Walkman cell phone is recognized by its music capacity.

Above the display a secondary camera is placed for video calls. On the sides, the Nokia 6600 slide comes with a charger port, a USB port and a headset jack. Some people can be disappointed by the lack of external dedicated buttons (for example, volume keys, camera shutter or music player key), but this mobile phone was designed to have a simple and attractive aspect. “Hidden” under the display, the numerical pad makes a good impression. Even if the keys seem to be cramped, you will feel comfortable typing on them. The keys are responsive and offer a positive feedback giving you the opportunity to write messages faster.

A disappointing aspect of this phone can be the internal memory: only 18 MB of free space. The memory can be extended up to 4 GB thanks to the microSD card slot.  Because the Nokia 6600 slide in not a smartphone, it comes with a small capacity battery. The standard Li-Ion 1000 mAh battery manages to keep this cell phone on for almost 4 hours of conversations and up to 340 hours in standby mode.

Below the display two soft keys are placed and a joystick for menu navigation and the usual Call and End keys. On the sides you will find two volume keys, the Power On / off button, a USB port, a charging port and a headset jack. As we said, this cell phone is a mid-level one so it will not impress you with a lot of high-end features. Instead, it will impress you with its design simplicity.

The Nokia 3500 comes with a 1.8 inch TFT display with a native resolution of 128 x 160 pixels. Even if this display is poor, it is capable of supporting 256K colors, so you will receive clear images with a nice quality of colors. The numerical pad, placed below the display, makes me a nice impression. The keys are flat and large, with a nice aspect.



These keys are very responsive so you will be able to write messages very comfortable. Maybe one of the strongest points of this cell phone is the camera. Even if in our days a 2 Megapixel camera looks somehow mediocre, the Nokia 3500 is capable of taking clear photos with a nice image quality at a maximum resolution of 1600 x 1200 pixels. For storing your images, songs or other files, the Nokia 3500 has 8.5 MB of internal memory which, thanks to the microSD card slot, can be extended up to 2 GB.  For entertainment, this mobile phone offers you an integrated FM Radio (which allows you to listen to your favorite radio stations), a music player (which supports MP3, MP4, AAC and AAC+ formats) and JAVA support (with this feature you can download a lot of mobile games or applications and run them on this cell phone).

It comes with Bluetooth and miniUSB features for you to be capable to connect with other devices easily. For keeping a good battery life, the Nokia 3500 comes with a standard Li-Ion 820 mAh battery which manages to keep this mobile phone on for almost 3 hours of conversations and up to 280 hours in standby mode. If you are not satisfied by these values, you can buy a secondary battery which will significantly improve the unit’s life. Anyway, for a mid-level mobile phone, we can say that the Nokia 3500 is a powerful handset and having the low price of $99 it certainly is a good choice for you.
