Summary: A really great phone!!!
Review: I have owned this phone since August and I think it is terrific. The reception is excellent and the features are abundant. With the bluetooth I am able to download all contacts from either my pocket pc (IPAQ 2215) or my computer. I can also download my pictures and videos to my pocket pc. All of these operations have gone very smoothly. I have also used it as a modem for my pocket pc but it is way too slow and uses way too much data transfer time. The voice dialing eliminates any problems with the round keypad. I use it frequently and it has only once missed recognizing a name. You do not have to say the name perfectly either. The phone is large but feels comfortable rather that bulky, and the large screen is great. Overall I think the this phones features and ease of use are fantastic!

Summary: Size Does Matter
Review: The phone gets good reception, yes. Yes, it takes very nice pictures. No, the keypad isn't a problem... it's the size. The phone is big. I'm not talking kinda big, I'm talking 1995 big. Remember those first cell phones where you had to carry a bag to take your phone with you? Here we are all over again. Forget the back pocket of your jeans, kids, time to make friends again with your back pack. I'm actually surprised this phone passed a test period. I don't know who would choose to carry such a bulky thing that wasn't also a PDA in itself. Nokia really needs to invest at least a little money in a viable design team. The good news is if you're stuck with the phone, at least it works (which is more than I can say for the Sony Ericsson I had last).

Summary: Really like this phone!
Review: I've been using my Nokia 3650 for about a month now using T-Mobile service, and I must say that I'm very pleased with both the phone AND the service. I come from a Sprint PCS background and switched to Nokia/T-Mobile to get an updated phone and different service. Boy do I wish I had made the switch sooner! Sure, the phone itself is on the large side, but the functionality and ease of use make up for that. The camera and video are fantastic, the contacts list is fabulous, and the t-zones internet can't be beat. Oh, and the phone works well too! I don't mind the "old school" keypad - I don't find it difficult to use and after using my phone for a month I'm able to dial quickly (and correctly) 99% of the time. But doesn't everyone have a typo now and then? As for T-Mobile, I get service in all the places Sprint PCS claimed to cover but could never supply. I even got service in a subway stop in NYC (although once I boarded the train the call got cut off, but NO ONE gets service ON a subway train). I LOVE LOVE LOVE this phone.

Summary: I love the phone but there are a couple of things..........
Review: I've been using the 3650 for about two months and am really enjoying it. The highlight of this phone is the size of the LCD - it's huge in comparison to other color phones. And battery life is excellent, even with the large LCD. The shape of the dial pad is not an issue as I adjusted very quickly. The photos are advertised as of a resolution good for email but I would rate it below that - but I didn't buy the phone for the camera. I have taken some "decent" pictures with it however which are easy to transfer (see below) to a pc. The 200+ page manual is a testament to its many features. Using Bluetooth for the first time can be a challenge and depending on what kind of adapter you have (I'm using a Belkin F8T001), it can be more or less challenging apparently. If you have other Bluetooth devices, it can be a small ordeal to eliminate conflicts via the single Com port that is established when the Bluetooth software is installed. The 3650 comes with a software package, PC Suite for Nokia 3650, which provides file/image transfer, Outlook Contact and Calendar synchronization, backup, etc. As an example, I also have a Bluetooth-enabled iPAQ which uses ActiveSync to connect to my pc. Prior to pairing the iPAQ to ActiveSync for the first time via Bluetooth, the phone and the pc connected each time flawlessly and the PC Suite software worked fine. However, once I paired the iPAQ to ActiveSync the first time and performed that synchronization, I was unable to pair the phone to the pc. ActiveSync initialized and immediately started searching for the iPAQ even though the phone was initiating the request to connect to the pc (or vice versa), blocking the phone from connecting. Now I just disable all the Bluetooth settings in ActiveSync when I'm done with it and the phone will connect just fine again (I guess it's not too surprising that the Microsoft application wants to dominate...). It is entirely possible that ActiveSync is the only other software ap that causes this conflict - Nokia customer service had no records of other incidents besides ActiveSync. Now that I have the routine down, it's not an issue and was able to get rid of the lPAQ USB cradle and large cable that used to clutter up my desk (as well as causing some other problems with Outlook). The Nokia versions of Outlook Contacts and Calendar have some limitations. If you use voice tags (voice activated dialing), you can have only 1 voice tag per contact record. So if you are used to using voice activation to call the same person at home, at work, or on a cell phone, and all those numbers are presently contained in the same contact record in your PC version of Outlook, you will have to break it into 3 separate contacts to create the 3 voice tags. With Calendar, none of the events set up with the "recurring" feature in Outlook will make the transition to the Nokia version of Calendar. These are software & memory limitation issues however, and hopefully Nokia will enhance (fix) them. Although a customer service agent told me that no further updates to hte PC Suite will be made for the 3650, I have to believe they are issues with the Symbian OS and not the phone. Also, pay attention to ATT Wireless coverage areas. This is a GSM phone and if you get to far off the beaten path, service just quits. No roaming, no nothing.

Summary: A great phone and a great deal
Review: Got this phone with t-mobile service and haven't regretted switching from ATT. Been disappointed before time and again with quirky billing and service issues of Sprint and ATT. T-mobile has not disappointed yet in three months. Service coverage is not that bad.. Works flawlessly when it's on. Speakerphone is great. Camera is awesome for the fact that it is a 'Phone'. I have given up on convergence and bought this phone as it has limited calendaring, extensive addressbook and all other features I care about in phone. The throwback dialpad is not that big a deal.. just takes some getting used to.

Summary: Odd design choices make for an unusable phone
Review: One of my family members bought this phone shortly after AT&T Wireless made it available on their service plans. She picked it specifically for its camera feature, as well as for its larger display. From the moment she got it, I was astounded by Nokia's poor design choices. Apparently they were so eager to get a camera phone to market, and to make it "different" and "cool," that they decided to disregard usability. I understand why they may have needed to make the phone larger to accommodate the large display and/or the camera. If that was the case, however, why not consider making the camera an attachment, or designing it as a flip-phone or something like that? The phone's keyboard is by far the least usable I've ever encountered. I think they were shooting for a throwback to dial phones, but this strikes me as a horrible design choice. The key layout isn't intuitive at all -- I've yet to be able to dial a phone number without at least a mistake or two. It's true that I haven't used the phone much, but I can dial without looking on every other Nokia phone I've owned. In addition, some keys have odd symbols on them that don't intuitively indicate their functions. The first time I tried the phone, it took me a full minute to find the key that activates the menus. The phone's operating system seems a bit clunky to me. Yes, the graphics quality is quite good: Menu icons look crisp and clean, the backlighting is very good, text is easy to read. But the menu layouts and command structure are just absurd, especially in the messaging areas, which is one service my family uses a lot. I am interested in a phone that takes pictures and is a single piece -- I don't like carting around a bunch of attachments to handle various functions on my phone. But I can't understand why Nokia thought this was a good way to combine a camera with a telephone that offers messaging and other advanced functions of today's wireless calling plans. The phone is simply unusable for most of those functions.

Summary: Great Phone, Little Big
Review: i bought this phone couple of months back it's a real sleek phone, except it's little big to carry , may be because of it's bundled features like the built camera, bluetooth, modem and a large bright lcd screen.
It takes great photographs, easy to transfer to ur PC via infrared or bluetooth, no cables anymore. nice windows like interface for operations.
Talk time not that great. Ringer volume is less audible sometimes when u r outside , you won;t hear. other than that it's a terrific phone.

Summary: Amazon is great.. phone is great, just say away from AT&T
Review: WARNING: AT&T representatives ("Dawn: R361" and "Max: N360") themselves said during my troubleshooting (as detailed below) that I should NOT have bought through Amazon, and that they have received a barrage of complaints from Amazon buyers! I still really like Amazon, but they're integration with AT&T is non existent. People should not have to wait 2-3 days for service after they receive the phone. Buy the same phone on Amazon, but a different carrier.

Summary: a bulky one with gr8 features
Review: i have bought from ATT n i dont think we can send ringtones. n the other issue is that copyin the contacts to sim card. needs to be done one by one. if a contact has multiple nbrs, then each one shud be handled explicitly. i donno if it really had better options to do that. if so, plz ignore this. as u all know, it is bulky. except for these, this is a gr8 phone. i love it.
