Compras Nikon Bluetooth |
Design
Don't let this phone's wacky looks fool you. It's made tough for a rough and tumble world, while maintaining a style all its own. The front of the phone sports a 128 x 128 color LCD display. The button pad features large, easy to press buttons. An internal antenna means there's nothing to snag or break off. The rear of the phone houses a CIF-resolution camera (352 x 288) camera, which is surrounded by a panel that can be removed for placement of "cut-outs." Personalizable cut-out panels are designed into the front panel, as well. You can design your own covers and slide them under the cut-out panel to personalize your 3200. Lastly, an infrared port is provided for data connectivity between the phone and your PC or other phones.
Calling Features
The 3200's phone book can hold up to 500 contacts with multiple entries per contact. It also features a speakerphone for easy handsfree talking. The phone features built-in polyphonic ringtones. More ringtones can also be downloaded from AT&T Wireless' mMode service. Pictures of your friends (or enemies) can used as caller ID alerts. For those times you want to keep things discreet, there's also a vibrate ringer mode. Speed dialing can be programmed for up to eight contacts so you're always one button away from your most important numbers. Finally, the phone keeps tracks of your last 20 calls.
Messaging, Internet and Tools
The 3200 is a powerful mobile messaging tool. Support is built in for sending and receiving text, pictures and sound via messages. When used in combination with the phone's built-in camera, MMS opens up a whole new world of messaging fun. Instant messaging (AOL Instant Messenger, ICQ) is also supported and the phone ships with a built-in email client (AT&T messaging charges apply). T9 text entry, which is a technology that makes it easier for people to enter words and text on handsets, is built into the unit-- a plus for mobile email and text messaging users.
Getting on the Internet is easy with the 3200. It supports the GPRS protocol, as well as the new, high speed EDGE data protocol. AT&T's mobile mMode service lets you receive and send emails, read news headlines, get sports scores, download games and ringtones, and more.
A number of handy software tools are bundled with the 3200 including a voice memo recorder, a calculator with currency converter, a calendar, and an alarm clock with snooze and a countdown timer. Nokia offers a free application on its website called PC Suite that facilitates easy synchronization of contacts, calendar events and other data between the phone and your PC.
Imaging and Entertainment
Use the 3200's camera to capture stills and then send them to your friends via MMS messaging or email. With an optional stereo headset, you can listen to tunes on the phone's built-in FM radio, which features 20 station presets. The phone also supports custom themes and wallpapers.
Java support is built into the 3200, making it a powerful gaming companion for both online and offline games. The phone ships with three games, Bounce BlackJack and Virtual Me. More games are available via the AT&T mMode service.

When I saw the phone online it looked good, when I read of it it sounded even better. The price put me over the top, with $160 cash back!!!
Now I'm afraid I have sold the phone, this is the reason:
IT'S A WONDERFUL FULLY FEATURED PHONE BUT IT LOOKS HORRIBLE!!! :(
It has so many features, just making a call and hitting options gives you 10 options of things you can do. Some of my favorites: (1) Speakerphone!!! Why don't all phones have this now? (2) adding a picture to a person in your contact list so when they call you see thier picture :) and (3) Nokia's wonderful profile method, making a profile for the office and while you're out etc. I won't list everything, you can see them on Amazon or any other site, I'm just rating as one users point of view.
WHO SHOULD GET THIS PHONE?
- Those who need a build in camera
- Those who are always on the go, need a very strong organizer on the phone and speakerphone (I LOVE THAT FEATURE!!!)
- Those who are not concerned about the look of a phone or how small it is
- Those who like a phone they can fully customize
- Those with a huge address book - maybe even for business use - that can add a ton of things to their contacts info i.e. email address, address, and multiple entries for one person such as their home and mobile number
- Those who wish to heavily use AT&T's mMode to browse internet and send email or even chat on AOL
- Those who need a flashlight on their phone :)
WHO SHOULD NOT GET THIS PHONE
- Those who need a compact and cute phone
- Those who have a lot of short conversation on their phon and don't need a million features
- Those who do not ever use internet access or intend to buy a wireless plan for their phone
- Those who already have a digital camera which much better pic res
Why did I give the phone up?
I didn't like the look at all. In all honestly its a perfect functioning phone, and its Nokia, easy to use navigation and if you're already a Nokia user throw out the manual!!! The shortbut keys are so helpful, it's just a easy using phone but all this technology built by Nokia and so ugly looking. It's wrapped in a cheap plastic cover, you can change the 'covers' is what's advertised but its actually this thing paper/cover that you put inside the cheap plastic to give difference looks, the outside is all the same. It's a very long phone too, not too heavy though but loooooooooong, I think about 4 1/2inches, most cell phones are 3inches now in height and flip phones are half that. Its sort of transparent on the side with a sort of matte plastic, doesn't look good, and has a hideous plastic orange button for on/off or switching profiles.
Honestly, go see it in person before you buy it, if you don't mind the looks, GET IT RIGHT AWAY because it can do more than you'll ever need! Hope it helps, wish someone wrote the same kind of review when I was buying :D
One last thing, people before you complain about dropped calls on this and ANY cell phone, PLEASE UNDERSTAND this has to do with your carrier and NOT the phone!!! I switched from T-Mobile to AT&T, went from OK reception to EXCELLENT reception. No dropped calls, get reception EVERYWHERE! Live in CA, works all around NoCal & SoCal, Nevada and Arizona!
This 3200 has a lot of features, but I wonder if there are any over the 8260 that I will really use.
For example,
- IM & Web access- I'm told AT&T mMode is expensive & slow
- FM Radio- you can use it only if the headset (that contains the antenna) is plugged in! The headset isn't easy to plugin.
- Camera- the quality (resolution) is not so good
Lastly, I found that one feature thats missing in the 3200 is the
ability to define calling card numbers. My 8260 has this, and its
really convenient to use for calling internationally.
CONS
- cheap plastic
- too bulky for my taste
- poor camera quality
- basic calendar/schedule system (unlike the samsung that i previously had...that one was almost like a PDA!)
- no volume control on the sides
- limited choices of how you want your phone to look and function.
- radio only functions if you have your headset in
- no bluetooth
- does not ring loud enough when you're in busy public places (couldn't hear it in Costco or in bars)...I always have to put it on vibrate
PROS
- camera phone
- got my money's worth
- interchangeable wallpaper
- interchangeable faceplates...even if it looks crapy if your plastic case is scratchy
- radio
- flashlight...very handy at night. especially when looking for stuff inside the car or when waking up in the middle of the night.
- alarm clock
- take pictures and assign them to your contact's phone numbers. took pictures of my friends and everytime they called their pictures come up!
- EDGE enabled
- international phone
- speakerphone
- java enabled...perfect for games when you're bored (you get more choices when downloading them)
- battery life is decent
I could go on and on...but I'll stop. lol. This phone is really fun to have...but when it comes to more serious stuff...like calendars, calculators, contact lists...it's not good enough.
The sound quality is quite good. Speaker phone works fine. Radio is a nice feature, but you have to have the headset plugged in.
The battery life and coverage are not so good, and I think that the both are related. I work in a 60 story building in Dallas and the GSM coverage is spotty. I think that the constant network switching is draining the battery at work.
The only bad thing about it is has only 1000kb memory i have a data cable and i cant put lots of games on it
PROS:
-- Camera phone; not perfect quality, but still fun and comparable to other camera phones (same quality as the Sony Ericsson T616)
-- Nice, intuitive menus; I didn't need to read the manual at all
-- The buttons are bright and feel nice
-- Responds well; I've found that other phones, like my Sony Ericsson, has a irritating delay when accessing many features, or if there are too many text messages in your Inbox; this Nokia does things right away, very little delay
-- EDGE technology; fast loading of WAP/mMode pages
-- Bright display; can be seen in daylight too, unlike some other phones with color displays
-- Easy to read fonts/text
-- Quirky, fun features, like a built-in mini flashlight, radio, and radio alarm clock
-- Battery life is great; I'm actually getting slightly more talk time than they stated (4 hours)!
-- AT&T Wireless overall has provided great customer service; great, quality service in my experience (nice voicemail features, etc.)
-- If this matters to you, this model has a lower radiation rating than most (www.cnet.com)
CONS:
-- The plastic case can cheapen the appearance of the phone, in my opinion; but it is a neat feature if you want to play around with different templates
-- No volume control on the side of the phone, although you can adjust volume during a call by using the buttons on the front of the phone
-- Slightly lower resolution/quality screen than a few other phones, like the Sony Ericsson T616, for example
-- No bluetooth; although most people probably would not use this
PRO-
-EDGE-enabled (if your provider supports it)
-Built in camera
-Highly Customizable
-Infrared port
-AOL/ICQ instant messaging
CON-
-VERY cheap, easily scratched plastic case
-Wacky key layout with small keys (VERY easy to hit the wrong one)
-Very small caller ID pictures (nearly useless)
-No e-mail access
-No Bluetooth
-Customizable ring tones can only be set per caller "Group" (e.g. friends, family, etc) not per individual
MIXED BAG-
-Make your own covers (neat idea, but poor quality plastic case ruins their look)
-Radio requires headset (and how often are you really going to use it?)
-Flashlight (neat idea in theory, but I never used it)
Overall, I just cannot recommend this phone. I would suggest the Sony Ericsson T610/T616 instead.
Cons:
- The keyboard design is bad. 1 button for 2 numbers doesn't work. PLus the buttons are not aligned like they used to be on other nokia phones with similar shape... which makes it IMPOSSIBLE to type anything fast and efficiently, especially when using the predictive dictionnary.
- The camera quality is very bad. But this isn't a surprise.
- Internet browsing is not an option with such a small screen, plus mMode plans are a rip-off at AT&T.. so don't get the phone for this. Plus access is still slow.
- The calendar is not improved from previous. Still way too basic
- Small memory... for picture, for number of messages.
- Don't buy it for IM feature as it is same than for internet access, you'll be ripped off.
- Missing bluetooth. Infrared is cool when you actually have a laptop, otherwise again you need to pay $40 for a cable!!!
Pros:
- Light phone. Almost small...
- Full and complete contact information (though missing option to have more than one email address, also missing option to only browse through one caller group, like only friends or only business)
- Radio is pretty cool, wherever you are you can listen to the program you want. Convenient for when in public transport, at work, etc..
- Battery life is pretty good, but not like the first review claims. 4 hours of talktime +radio +etc.... is a lie. But it is better than some other phones. I would say in regular usage that the battery would have to be fully recharged every 3 days.
- Support MMS.. and that's basically the only advantage and it works will with sending pictures.
A good start, but lots of improvements needed. This phone looks exciting, but is not near what the 5 starts user reviews say.
I don't see what it does'nt have that other phones have. May be bluetooth which I don't use or some games and ringtones which you can download it anytime with data cable.
Cons: bad transperent plastic case but a off-market face plate would bring this phone on par with others. make sure you don't pay high price than ericson 616. If you get that for same price I would still suggest you to buy 3200 if u plan to use radio and loud speaker phone.
OK...enough about the bad phone.....the 3200 is my favorite Nokia yet. It looks good, and more importantly, it's functionality is excellent. I'm still on the AT&T Next Gen. network and the call reception is great. The battery life is nice and long too.
Re: the look of the phone....the pictures of this phone do not do it justice. I was nervous when I saw a picture of it online. However, I decided to go ahead and purchase it because it had the features I wanted. I was pleasantly surprised when I received it. It's lighter than I thought, smaller than I thought, and it's got a snappy look to it. The keypad is not cumbersome at all -- in fact, it didn't take long to adapt to it.
As with the Nokias I've owned, the phone is very easy to figure out and operate w/out looking everything up in a manual. The loudspeaker (aka speakerphone)is a great new feature. It's a feature you don't realize you want until you have it.
What's also nice about the phone is that it handle calls better than the older Nokias -- e.g., you can immediately "zap" a call straight to voicemail (my previous phones muted the ringing sound, however the call went through all of the rings before going to voicemail). This phone gets rid of the call quickly if need be.
The standard features that Nokia has had in the past are in this phone (alarm clock, call timers, vibrating alert) and the new features this phone has are great. FM radio, flashlight and voice memo, speakerphone are nice additions. Organizer is excellent. Camera is OK...not the best picture quality but again, very easy to operate and adequate enough for sending a quick picture to someone. Web operation is good so far. I haven't experimented too much -- just logged onto AOL. The ring tones that come with the phone are disappointing. Same w/ the games. There are lots of good ring tones and games to download and downloading is easy -- although it can get expensive.
The two major complaints I have about the phone are: 1) the volume control is not on the side of the phone like it was with my last Nokia -- it's back in the middle of the keypad. During the rare times I use the phone without my headset, it is awkward to adjust the volume; and 2) the headset attachment is back to a two-prong, plastic device that snaps into the bottom of the phone. It reminds me of my first Nokia phone when the prongs snapped off and were completely stuck in the phone with no way for me to get them out (ok...I was to blame for this mishap but it was a bad design). I much preferred the simple design where a metal peg fit into the side of the phone.
Overall, I'd highly recommend the phone. I would have given it 5 stars were it not for the two complaints listed above.
The color display is also pretty good quality. you can choose from many color schemes to suit your cutout cover. thephone is easy to handle and use.
overall, this phone is really cool and lots of fun! it is definetly worth the money.
when i opened the box, the phone didnt look like the ugly phone i had researched on the internet. after looking it over, turns out this is actually one of the more beautiful phones to come along in a while.
it has the typical nokia shape but it is quite smaller and lighter than your typical nokia. pics of this phone on the internet make it appear to be the same size as most other nokia phones.
one of the first details i noticed was that the shell (case?) is clear on the front and back. apparently, the design incorporates a feature where custom graphics can be inserted in the phone and are viewable from the outside.
the radio is a treat because, surprisingly, it is not at all cumbersome to operate. the included earpiece headset (doubles as an antenna; the radio cannot function without it on) is useful for phone conversations but i've had to get used to using a single earpiece for listening to fm radio while working out at the gym. however, a stereo headphone is available.
the flashlight is great because i used to use the light from my 3595 keypad and screen when fumbling for dropped items in a dark movie theater or car.
the loudspeaker is a nice addition; rare on nokia phones. it also functions as a speaker for fm broadcasts and the built in alarm clock.
the obvious shortcomings of this phone are the finger-hurting hard keyboard (though the design is fine, not as unuserfriendly as it looks, even if it looks unconventional), the placement of the date (it blocks the graphic), the position of the camera (it should be higher up so one is less apt to block it with the fingers), and the lack of included polyphonic ringers (my 3595 had some very good ones).
the color display lacks the size, resolution and 65000+ colors available on some of the larger color display phones, however it looks pretty decent (better than on my old 3595) and i prefer smaller, lighter phones.

"You would do well not to imagine profundity," he said. "Anything that seems
of momentous occasion should be dwelt upon as though it were of slight note.
Conversely, trivialities must be attended to with the greatest of care.
Because death is momentous, give it no thought; because victory is important,
give it no thought; because the method of achievement and discovery is less
momentous than the effect, dwell always upon the method. You will strengthen
yourself in this way."
