 | Fast performance Easy to use Good form factor |  | Mediocre music player and camera Nothing really new in this phone No GPS |
It seems lately Nokia’s taken to rehashing its existing phone database, by simply stripping down the design and updating the software. At its price point the 3600 brings nothing new to the table, except perhaps Nokia Maps and a rather mediocre 3.2 MP camera.
The 3600 is a slider with dimensions of 97.8 x 47.2 x 14.5 mm, and weighs some 97g. I felt it was quite light, although it isn’t the slimmest phone available. As is the case with most Nokia phones, it looks good enough for the current generation. The slide action is smooth, although the spring could have been improved a bit.
The 2-inch TFT screen can display 16M colors, and is really nothing to boast about. It’s a fingerprint magnet, and not scratch-resistant in the least, so it has every chance of losing its sparkle after a while.
The keys are a wonder to use, including the 5-way nav-pad on the face of the phone as well as the keypad. The back is made of plastic, with a steel plate for the camera and the home logo.
Not having a rubberized back means it’s more susceptible to accidental falls, and the steel plate only makes matters worse. In fact, accidental drops can create dents on the plate, making it look really ugly.
