The Nokia 3600 is one of those mobile phones that nobody specifically loves them but it is still one of the best sold Nokia models, being designated for the entry-level category. The phone has a slider and compact cage and comes with all basic elements like a 3.2 Megapixel camera, VGA video and TV-out.

The Nokia 3600 comes with a case made of resistant plastic and has 97.8 x 47.2 x 14.5 mm in dimensions and 97.3 grams in weight. Having these dimensions, it certainly fits very well in your hands or pockets. On the front side, this Nokia mobile phone has a 2 inch TFT display which has a native resolution of 240 x 320 pixels and supports 16 million colors. You will not have any problems to see the images because, even if this is a TFT display, you will receive great quality of colors even if you use it under direct sunlight.

Below the display, it has two soft keys, an OK button and the classic Call and End keys. With big dimensions and a great sensitivity, these keys will help you navigate in the phone’s menu easily. On the sides it has two keys for volume control, a camera shutter and a miniUSB port (which will allow you to connect the phone to a PC). On the top, you will find a charging port and a 2.5 mm jack which allows you to attach some headphones or other external speakers.

Sliding up the phone, you will discover a large keypad which occupies the entire bottom of the device. With very responsive and solid keys with good sizes, this keypad is excellent for typing SMS, emails or writing other texts. For shooting photos, the Nokia 3600 comes with an integrated 3.2 Megapixel camera, capable of taking photos at a maximum resolution of 2048 x 1536 pixels and recording clips at a speed of 15 fps. On the back, near the camera, this cell phone has an LED flash which will help you get great quality photos even if the camera has somehow mediocre performances.

For connectivity, the Nokia 3600 (being a tri-band device) supports GPRS, EDGE and GSM networks. For other kind of connections, it has Bluetooth, miniUSB and TV-out. Even if this cell phone has only several connectivity features, you need to remember that this is an entry-level mobile phone, designated for those people who cannot afford to pay a lot of money for a good unit.

Anyway, like all modern mobile phones, this Nokia model supports many music formats (MP3, AAC, eAAC+, WMA) and has great sound performances. The external speaker is very loud and produces clear sounds. For storing your pictures and music, the Nokia 3600 comes with 30 MB of internal memory but if you want more you can extend it up to 8 GB with a microSD card.  The standard Li-Ion 860 mAh battery is capable of keeping this mobile phone on for almost 6 hours of conversations and up to 280 hours in standby mode.

The Nokia 3600 has decent size for a slide phone and has common features with the more expensive mobile phones (for example, Nokia 6600 slide). If you are looking for a cell phone at a reasonable price and with a good camera, the Nokia 3600 is a very suitable choice. Having a price of $184, we are no longer wondering about why it is so popular.
