| I bought it from Amazon.com with T mobile Service plan. I stay in minneapolis and T mobile service is awesome here. Things that i like about this phone : - Excellent color display which is reasonally big compared to cell phone standards. - novel keypad, although it took some time to get adjusted. The Central scroll key is really cool (esp while playing games :) - Camera is awesome. Colors of pictures are rich, sharp. Good 640 x 480 resolution (i set image quality to highest and the pics were awesome) - Excellent security ( Can set an optional code, so that u need to enter it when ever u switch the phone on. Also, u can set a code when ever SIM card changes. So, even if somebody steals ur piece, i guess they cant use it ) - can work even outside US ( Europe and Asia ). - I never used SMS before, but this cell has it with predefined/customizable templates which really reduce the burden of typing and we can send text messages any where in the world. (for sending multimedia emails u need to subscribe to t zones ..which is well... hmm...pretty cheap) - T mobile has given a default email id(yourphonenumber@tmomail.net) to every piece with which u can send text based email from your piece using SMS. - Can link to local bluetooth, infrared enabled devices. My laptop has an infrared port and i downloaded all the pics from the camera. - Can act as a wireless modem to connect ur laptop to internet.( I didnt test that ) - can download any J2ME based Java applications. ( i didnt test that ) - has Calendar, calculator, sound recorder(which can record conversations), ring tone composer ( u can create ur own ring tones and set them) & loud speaker. - Handsfree is given for free. - can add pics to every contact in the list of contacts. - classify contacts into groups and send group SMS messages, group emails. - can play recorded/downloaded video clips using real one player. - Although its a PDA, camera, video camera cum cell phone, the battery lasts pretty long. Things i didnt like : Well, bottom line is... i feel i bought(Got) an AWESOME piece for FREE !! | |
quite happy | |
| I've had this phone for ten days and can't seem to stop playing with it. One pleasant surprise I found is that T-Mobile provides free web/wap browsing and pop3 email access through phones that can use it (no minutes used, no per meg charges). They don't advertise it, but it is well documented on various forums (such as howardforums.com and fatwallet.com) and my account details on the T-Mobile website list "Included WAP Browsing: Active". You can also load a lot of applications on it, and sync your Outlook contacts and calendar. To do this, bluetooth is the way to go. All you need is a bluetooth adapter for your computer, and the Nokia PC Suite (free download from Nokia website). Don't buy the Actiontec USB bluetooth adapter (check the recent reviews for that product, detailing driver installation problems). The phone is larger than what passes for fashionable these days, but that doesn't bother me. It fits well in your hand and has lots of features. It can double as a small PDA. I don't think it would be as functional if it were just a little flip-phone. The button layout looks weird, but it makes it easier for typing email addresses and other website URLs. The camera is surprisingly good for a cell phone camera. Using the included email access, you can take pictures and email them to your friends at no cost. If you send the pics as MMS messages, there is a charge, but sending pics via email is free. It can even shoot video clips! You can also do online instant messaging (not SMS text messages) for free. There are many applications you can use for this. Agile Messenger is the one I use. It's a free download, and supports AIM, ICQ, Yahoo, and MSN. Apparently it must be using port 80 (see below). The only limitation on the free WAP browsing is that only ports 80 and the two ports used for email are open. Everything else is blocked. This means that you can't access SSL pages (where you see a locked lock on your browser's status bar). For example, you won't be able to log in to your bank, or buy things from Amazon using the free WAP access. It can be done, but the cost for that capability is an extra $19/month. I am very happy with this phone so far, and I think T-Mobile offers very good plans. I chose the 1000 minutes national plan ($40), but I may have to switch to the 3000 minutes regional plan ($50) if I use it too much. Great gadget. | |
nice phone, but hard to carry | |
| well, I owned this phone for 10 months now and its too big.. all the features are great. really a great phone...but kinda too bulky and heavy. also that circular dial pad isnt comofrtable. thats why they changed it for the new 3660. overall its a nice phone. |
