| brown12687's Full Review: Nokia 3595 |
While I had the phone it was a great piece of electronic equipment. This phone, which is offered by many phone companies for free, is a great user friendly phone. I had my 3595 for nearly 10 months befor a puddle of water took the phone from me. Sadly Nokia doesn't cover water damage in their warranty.
Menu:
The phone is by far the easiest phone to use! My mother has this phone also and she isn't very good with learning how to use electronics but within 15 minutes she was able to access everything and anything that she wanted to find. I was amazed on how Nokia could make an interface that was so comprehensive yet so user friendly. All the pages in the menu make sense. Whatever it is you're looking for you can find rather quickly without having to consult the manual.
Screen:
The Screen is nice. It's not as viberant as my new phone Samsung SGH-S307, but it is still very nice. It is bright enough to see in the sun-light. The display does seem to be a bit "blocky" but it only has a little more than 1,000 colors as opposes to 64,000 with my new phone. The screen is large enough to easily read what it is you're looking for but isnt quite as large as some of the other phones out there.
Games:
The games are great I absolutely love the bowling! With the phone you get four games: Bowling, Skydive, Glider, and backgammon. These games are very handy if you're just flat out bored, I often found myself playing games when I probably shouldnt have just because they're so addictive and fun. Glider and backgammon are entertaining but I didn't find them very fun to play, but "different strokes for different 'fokes'"
Battery Life:
The battery life is great. You can let the phone sit for a week and it'll still have plenty of battery life for you to talk to all of your friends and colligues. When I bought the phone I was told to charge the battery all the way and then drain it until the low battery indicator came up to condition the battery. The salesman said to do that two times but I was too busy configuring everything to do that, and because the battery life lasts soo long.
Size:
The size of this phone is great. For a non-folding phone it is the perfect size, nearly fits in the palm of your hand. It will comfortably fit into your pants pocket or purse.
Ringtones:
Well it seems like most new phones never come with any good ringers anymore. Can't they just give you the "classic" house phone ringer. I know that you can download more and that everyone wants a personalized phone with a unique sound but lately it seems like the "classic" ringer is unique and rare.
Reception:
The reception, I am with Cingular, is great. Everywhere I go I get great reception. The quality isn't quite as good as a house phone, but what phone is, but is better than most.
Overview:
If you're on a tight budget and want a great phone you should take a close look at this phone. The size is good for a non-folding phone. The battery life is great. The inter-face is designed with purpose. The games are strangly addictive. All in all I say buy this phone (most carriers are giving them to you for free with a new plan) you will not be sorry you picked this one.
