Rating: Summary: Bluetooth Fails Review: I get good reception, but bluetooth, which worked great on my Sony T616 will not work with it. After about 2 seconds, computer says telephone disconnects. I returned the Sony because the telephone reception is bad, now returning the 3650 because bluetooth does not work. Beginning to miss my old Nokia doorstop phone.
Rating: Summary: Better camcorder than phone... AT&T does suck Review: I got this phone back in June, 2003 and have been dissapointed with its horrendous reception. I have yet to make a single phone call around my neighborhood because there's NO reception! There are moderately tall buildings (3 floors) all around but that's no excuse. Coincidentally, I can make phone calls inside one of the buildings.... but not outside!Other dissapointments are: *Battery life. It barely lasts 24 hours on STANDBY!!!! My dad has a regular Nokia phone and it lasts at least 72 hours. *Inaudible ring tones. It comes preloaded with some awesome ring tones, but most of them are barely audible. I can barely hear them even when the phone is on my lap. *Start up takes forever. Most phones are ready to use within 5 seconds after turning on, this phone takes around 30 seconds! *Memory storage is too small. 16MB is just not enough to keep all the pictures and videos. You have to frequently erase them or the phone will lock up. I usually email the pics to myself so I can save them. Btw, to the reviewer who stated that he had to remove the Back/mMode button to keep from accidentially pressing it... it can be changed! Go to MENU ---> TOOLS ---> SETTINGS ---> PHONE ---> STANDBY MODE ---> RIGHT SELECTION KEY.... then change it to any other function. I changed mine to Video Recorder. I also used to have a problem accessing mMode accidentially while in my pocket, but I fixed that by moving the mMode icon to another folder. Which can be done by pressing OPTIONS in MENU.
Rating: Summary: Regret buying Review: was quite excited to be getting this phone, given all its functionality. The size & key pad were not (and still are not) hinderancs. The ENORMOUS problem has been with its bluetooth functionality. I have spent over 25 hours talking with Nokia customer service & 2 different Bluetooth manufacturers (Belkin & Linksys). None can fix the problem. The bluetooth companies blame Nokia & Nokia blames the bluetooth companies. Meanwhile, my phone's functionality (a KEY reason why I bought this phone) still does not work, I've wasted over 25 hours with tech people, & no answer seems in sight. This has been an exhausting and extraordinarly disapointing purchase. I could NOT recommend this prodect - or Nokia, given their poor customer service - at all.
Rating: Summary: Won't work with BLUETOOTH Review: I was quite excited to be getting this phone but have been VERY disappointed. Despite 8+ hours on the phone with Nokia & Belkin, I am unable to get Nokia 3600 (cingular's version - same phone) to connect via Bluetooth. Nokia blames Belkin & Belkin blames Nokia. I am thoroughly disappointed, frustated, & tired. I am returning this phone.
Rating: Summary: AT&T Wireless deceptive billing practice upon cancellation Review: Be aware--if you cancel your service with AT&T Wireless during the middle of a billing cycle (even if you're just 1 day into it), AT&T Wireless will bill you for the entire month. The bill will show you they've credited you the unused prorated amount for the month, but then sneakily add back that same amount as an 'adjustment fee' with no explanation whatsoever. In my case, for the $29.99 monthly plan, I switched to T-Mobile 9 days into the billing cycle (in fact, I only used 2 minutes of air time!). The bill shows a prorated credit of $20.99. However, they added an adjustment fee of the same amount and my bill was back to the usual $34.99 (after tax). Worse yet, when I called their customer service, none of their lower-level service representatives know about this fee. One guy falsely blamed it on some 'loyalty' program I signed up for that I violated by the cancellation--which he backed off when I asked him to prove it. After more than an hour, someone finally explained the real reason. The additional fee is charged in accordance to their terms of service stating "When a billing cycle covers less than or more than a full month, we may make reasonable adjustments and prorations". Well, "reasonable", to AT&T Wireless at least, implies FULL monthly charge and NO proration at all, and deceptive terms of service & billing statement language to get away with it. They claim this has been their practice for several months now with no exception made to anyone. At least after paying this final bill, I'm comforted in knowing I will never contribute a dime to AT&T Wireless/Cingular again. (T-Mobile, on the other hand, has been nothing but pleasant to deal with so far--significantly better reception & customer service contacts.)
Rating: Summary: Awsome phone but AT&T ain't that good!!! Review: The phone is awsome and cool. The camera is good and everything else. I had a few problems with at&t at first. WHen u call them it takes really long to speak to someone. I had to send my phone away cuz it was broken. But other than that its an awsome phone like my title^^^. I say u should get a belt clip since the phone is quite big. BUY THE PHONE. PEOPLE ARE JELOUS OF ME.!!!! THE REBATE IS AWSOME.(...)
Rating: Summary: Worst customer service of AT&T Review: If there is any negative rating, I will give -5 star to AT&T. I used AT&T for 1 year, and there were lots of problems. They offered me two months free and a free phone (Nokia 2260) for extending my contract. I accepted because they were the best interms of the signals in my area. And my first bill was $250 !! no free month, no free phone !!! I called them, they said there is no such note in your account, such offer was not made to you.. How horrible they are! Totally lier ! Don't go with AT&T. Other thing, I had national roaming plan. My primary use was in NJ, but for two months I went to CA. So they applied $17 tax for my $34.99 monthly bill!! they said that when I went to CA, my phone was through their NY towers so NY taxes are applied !! I never stayed in NY and I am paying NY taxes $17 a month !! I immediately cancelled my service..
Rating: Summary: 3600...almost the same phone Review: I own a Nokia 3600, with service provided by Cingular. The phone design and options are about the same. I've found it to be a great phone, and am really happy with it. Mine never shuts off by itself (as someone else reported about a 3650). The pictures come out pretty clear if you have a steady hand. The phone is a little complicated to learn, and isn't super intuitive, but once you have the basics down, is a breeze to operate. The round dialing pad threw me for a while, but I'm used to it. All in all, I'm very pleased with it. I wrote a longer review on my website (in the blog at www.celaine.com).
Rating: Summary: Good phone... Bad AT&T Review: Please do not ever purchase anything from AT&T Wireless. It is really for your own good. I could go on and tell you everything that went wrong, but it was essentially the same as everyone else on this site. You will have a nightmare if you ever need to talk to customer service.
Rating: Summary: Don't get GSM until you have no choice... Review: I was happy with my previous plan, but when I lost my phone and had to buy a new one, AT&T switched me to the GSM network. Terrible. My coverage area has collapsed. Not to mention that AT&T customer service is lousy, overall (some good experiences, mostly bad though).
