Nokia 3600 slide review: Smooth glider

Price: PKRS 15,100/- (according to Pakistani Market)

Nokia 3600 slide is one of those handsets which no one seems to covet, love and lust but everybody ends up buying or having. It's a straightforward guess that a S40 handset of subdued but comfortable styling and sufficient skill will simply go around. The neat and compact Nokia slider has all the basics duly covered and strives to deliver beyond its price in terms of imaging. A 3.2 megapixel camera, VGA video and TV out should be enough of an identity booster.

Key features:

• Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support
• 2" 16M-color QVGA display
• 3 megapixel camera, autofocus and LED flash
• VGA video recording
• S40 user interface, 5th edition, FP1
  Bluetooth with A2DP, USB
• Stereo FM radio with RDS
• microSD card slot (up to 8 GB), 512MB included
  2.5mm standard audio jack, TV-out
  Rich preinstalled content

Main disadvantages:

• No 3G support

• Very rigid shutter key
• Rigid battery cover latch
• Memory card slot under the hard-to-remove rear cover
• The battery falls off immediately when the rear cover is removed
• The bottom row of keys gets scratched by the sliding action
