VEry easy to use and although it is fairly big it is a great price for a great phone!!
3 Good one nokia 3660
This phone is an excellant phone. The RF reception and signal strength are extremely good. Comapred with other manufacturer phone for the same provider at my desk. Other phones=0 bars. This phone gives 2 bars.
Feature wise this is good too with all required features.
Camera is on the back and it gets scratched and dusted often. I think this has been a problem with almost all camera phones. May be they should think of giving a small sliding door to cover the lens.
Customer support is very good.
4 Avid Nokia User
The 3600 is a slightly updated version of the Nokia 3650. The updates are only the higher resolution screen and the normal configuration of the buttons.
Nokia makes some of the best phones around and the 3660/3650 is no exception. The phone gets great reception, is simple to use and has some great features.
One thing that makes the phone easy to use is its customizable menu. Not only can you arrange features in the order you want, but you can create, name and organize new folders in the menu. Adding and moving features from one folder to another is a snap.
Another great feature is the ability to download third party software. For my 3660 I have downloaded file compression, mp3 playback, and remote control programs. They work great and give my phone features that few other phones have. (and many can be found free online!)
The Bluetooth is a great feature and I have had no problems with it. Personally, I recommend buying a quality Bluetooth PC adapter from a reputable company i.e. Kensington or Belkin. Also, it is not necessary to use Nokia PC Suite to send or recieve files with Bluetooth. The only use for PC Suite is to convert mp3's to ringtones. Otherwise Windows XP supports file transfer for pictures, mp3's (with a playback capable program added to the phone), and information. Once a connection is established, I choose the file I want to transfer on my PC, right click, choose "send to...", choose "bluetooth" where my phone is listed and there you have it.
The phone may be big, but only when compared to flip style phones which are always bigger when flipped open. Honestly it is smaller than your hand and less than an inch thick. The 3390 is about the same size as is the current 6010 (both very popular). You could go with the Samsung E715 flip camera phone, but you lose 3rd party support, speaker phone, video capture/playback, bluetooth capability, expandable memory, and ease of use.
If you want a phone that does it all, does it well, and looks really sweet with a black face plate, go with the 3660.
P.S. the 6600 has only a larger memory card 32 v. 16 and wireless sync capabilities over the 3660.
5 inconvience
My friend and I traded phones because we have T-mobile so all we needed to do was to switch SIM cards. Unfortunately, someone ran over my phone so I was presented with what seemed like a fairly nice Nokia camera phone.
For the first couple of weeks, I enjoyed the camera and video options. I could access websites, but it does not offer AIM. After a while, the rotary numbers become annoying to use when trying to save someone's number when you just ran into them and have no time to talk.
The size is also inconvienent. I can compare it to a remote control. My friends actually joke about it. It's a common topic when someone first sees my phone. When you don't want to carry a purse or a bookbag, carrying it in your back pocket, or any pocket for that matter, it weighs down your pants.
The battery life is fairly decent. It lasts for 2 days tops.
All in all, I would have to say this phone is a hassle. It's not for fast-paced people, although it offers many options like a calendar, the internet, camera, and a converter calculator. I have seen many other phones that offer these options and are much more convienent. I also do not think the money is worth it for this Nokia. Save your money for something like an iPod, and go with a Samsung.
6 perfect
I got a Nokia3650. I think it's great. So when my contact is end. I got this one. I haven't got it yet. But I am sure it's perfect!
7 A horrible phone.
I had this phone for a year and I hated it from day one. It's too big (like having a TV remote control in your pocket). I never got use to the keypad. The reception was terrible. The software was terrible. The camera was also terrible. I got my free after rebate and thank God for that; I sold it on eBay after my contract expired. I strongly urge you not to get this phone. I got a lot of compliments on it from strangers and I always replied how much I hated it.
8 Nokia has troglodytes doing customer service
Do not buy Nokia phones. Ever. Here's why:
I bought a Nokia 6600 to replace my earlier Nokia 3650. Due to a design oversight, it does not work with the vast majority of PDA's via Bluetooth. This currently includes all Palm PDAs. After all the frustration of adding all of my newest contacts to the 6600, I asked a Nokia technician at 1-888-NOKIA-2-U if it were possible to transfer the data from the 6600 to the 3650. He advised me to back up the 6600 to a newly formatted Nokia MMC card, and restore the data to the 3650 in a similar manner. I followed the technician's directions to the letter while they were on the phone, and after I had done so, the phone restarted and displayed the message "Phone startup failed. Contact the retailer." I spent over an hour talking to a tier-2 technician who told me that their tier-1 technician should have known that it was not possible to backup the 6600 to the 3650 safely in any condition. I could not get the 3650 working to even factory defaults, even after trying every reset code they could muster. Nokia finally determined that my phone was in need of repair, but since it was out of warranty (it was made in May '03 and they would not take an eBay purchase as proof) they refused to fix the phone for less than $120! After over two hours of being placed on hold and persuasion, a supervisor finally agreed to fix the phone for free.
I did a little research and discovered that the repair could be done by any basic cell-phone repair shop for $30. All that had to be done was restore the software to the phone, and all that took was a cable and some Nokia software. I still decided to send in the phone, since insured shipping was only $10.
Two weeks later I mailed the phone in for repair. Two days after they received the phone, I received a letter in my mailbox stating that if I did not pay $120 for the repair of my phone, it would be returned unrepaired. I called Nokia to try to get it sorted out, and they stated that they had no recollection of ever promising to repair the phone for free. They stated that though it was a simple repair, they would not do it for less than $120. I suggested that it didn't make sense for me to send in the phone for repair if I thought Nokia would charge me $120 to repair it since I could get it done locally for $30. This simple nuance was too much for Nokia, and they still refuse to acknoledge the fact that their technician could have broken the phone or repair the phone for free. The supervisor stated that it must have been third-party applications on the 6600 that caused the 3650 to break, and would not take the suggestion that his own tier-2 technicians stated that it was not possible to back up the 6600 to the 3650 without damaging the 3650, regardless of what was or was not on the 6600. I have since spent hours on the phone with Nokia and they will not help.
In short - Nokia customer service does not understand the basic operations or limitations of their devices. If you don't heed my advice you will spend hours with technicians around the globe reading from scripts, chiding you in broken english for not following their directions exactly. Ultimately you will learn just how bad Nokia is, and why their recent loss of market share is so utterly deserved.
9 Wow
I had a nokia 8890 for about two years before the screen finally cracked when it was dropped on pavement. T-Mobile offered me a 3660 as a temporary phone before i could find another unlocked 8890. When I recieved it two to five business days later, i was unhappy with it, to say the least. The many features and toys on the phone end up making navigating menus much more difficult than it has to be. T-zones and other wireless internet applications take too long to load for it to be useful anyway. There is a motion camera on it but the it records less than 30 frames per second which makes the video very jumpy and not clear. In addition, recording time is only 30 seconds long. If you want video, by a camcorder... If you want a PDA, you would be better off buying a blackberry. Dont get me wrong, Nokia makes very easy to use, quality products but this phone does not have a good design. Look at how the number keys are positioned, they are in a half circular shape. If you are assuming these are a pain in the ass, your right. Now i have a 7250i Nokia. This is an excelent phone, and it does not compare to the 3660. Do not buy this phone! TRUST< i got rid of it in one week.

10 great phone
best value/price ratio in the market. like a pocket pc which you can install application and games on.
11 Great phone & value. Bluetooth setup can be tricky.
I got this phone because it's significantly cheaper than Nokia 6600 ($100 or so) and it has pretty much everything I need -- the ability to sync with MS Outlook and a reasonably decent camera. Oh, the key layout is much better than its ancestor (Nokia 3650).
The phone comes with a very nice contact and calendar program. In addition to the standard fields that other phones have, you can store multiple street addresses, multiple emails, multiple phone/faxes/pagers, multiple URLs, birthday and notes. You can assign thumbnail picture and different ringtone to each individual contact. The best part is that you can sync the phone with my MS Outlook so I can get rid of my PDA.
The camera takes decent pictures (in mobile phone's standard). The picture quality is way better than Sony Ericsson's (except the high end ones.) You can also take 15 seconds short videos (with sound) . The phone comes with a 16MB memory card in addition to the standard 3.4MB built-in memory.
There are also plenty of great games for this phone (picture quality and animation are way way way better than most other phone).
The downside, however, is that it's pretty tricky to setup the Bluetooth connection. Nokia's bluetooth implementation does not support most of the bluetooth adapters in the market. So if you want to buy a bluetooth adapter that works with this phone, make sure you buy the right one. The Belkin USB bluetooth adapter I bought works like a charm.
IMPORTANT -- the software that sync your phone with your PC is called PC Suite and you can download it from Nokia's website. HOWEVER (!!!) the one I downloaded from nokiausa.com does NOT work for me. I have to go to nokia.com and download UK's version. I can't explain why, but you might want to give it a shot if the US version doesn't work. The URL for the UK's PC Suite is http://www.nokia.com/nokia/0,,47480,00.html .
Bluetooth connection tips: first install your bluetooth software and install the Serial service/profile, then install PC Suite. After installing PC Suite and restart your PC, there should be an icon in the system tray. If you move your mouse over to that icon, it should display "mRouter". Double click mRouter to bring up the "Connection properties" window. You should see two Bluetooth connection in the list box. Turn on your phone's bluetooth service and then check both checkboxes on your PC. After a few seconds you should see a message telling you the bluetooth connection has been established. Now you can start PC Suite and sync your phone with you PC.
Hope it helps.
