Pros: Nice phone, stereophonic rings, color screen
Cons: Has lots of features, but there could be more
The Bottom Line: I recommend this phone. For a phone you get free with the cellular service, this one has most of the features that I would want and its easy to use.

| stevesilmer's Full Review: Nokia 3560 |
I recently got the Nokia 3560 as part of a package from Cingular at Best Buy. The phone was free with my plan--they charged $50 but there is a $50 rebate. Of the phones offered by Cingular, this one was the newest and neatest.
Here are some of the highlights of this gem:
This is a trimode technology telephone. This means that in theory you'll have fewer dropped calls because the phone is cabably of service in CDMA digital PCS, CDMA digital cellular and analog networks.
The battery life is more than all the other choices. Something like 350 minutes of talk time.
The phone has great built-in ringtones and more can be downloaded. They are stereophonic. The modernized/stereoized Nokia ring tone brings tears to your eyes. It will also vibrate to the beat of the ring tones.
It has a slick numberpad layout. It takes some getting used to, but not much...and now I really like it.
The color screen is clear and large. Great for getting text messages.
It has voice tags so that you can just say someone's name to get it to dial that number. It also has speed dials--just assign a number a speed dial slot, and then hold down that number for 2 seconds to dial. For instance, if you set someone to be speed dial 3, just turn on your phone, and then hold down 3 for a couple of seconds...
You can record up to 180 seconds of sound. Even record from an active phone call.
All in all this is a terrific phone that's comfortable to use. I am very happy with it.
