The Bottom Line: Excellent noise filtering. IR works wonderfully with the Pocket PC and Windows.

| tmollerup's Full Review: Nokia 6360 |
I am really happy with this phone. I bought it 45-days after purchasing a Sony Ericsson. When the Sony Ericsson failed 45 days after purchase, I was happy to be paying the $120 for a Nokia 6360. The reception and quality is wonderful.
This is my third Nokia. I have destroyed and lost the others while doing such things as high speed snowmobiling or adjusting the car seat. All the Nokias are all about the same, however, the 6360 has infrared (IR). This means no more special cables and expensive software. Out of the box, I could IR phone numbers from my Pocket PC to my phone. Wow, is that cool. Next, I set it up to communicate with a laptop. The free Nokia PC software is great, making it easy to download your Outlook calendar, tasks, and phone numbers to your phone using the IR connection or the separately purchased cable.
If you like the idea of downloading your calendar to your phone, you will like that “reminders” are also downloaded. If you set an Outlook appointment to remind you 15 minutes before an appointment, this too is downloaded to the phone. The phone will then remind you of your next appointment.
I was going to purchase a PDA for my wife; however, she is now using the 6360 in conjunction with her Outlook. She reported recently, "This is the best tool I have ever had."
MIC QUALITY
One last point, the microphone quality on the Nokia is excellent. For a short time, I was using a Sony Ericsson. People had a hard time understanding me in the car because of all of the background noise (A/C for example). The noise filtering was terrible. HOWEVER, no one knows I am even in the car with the Nokia. It has the best microphone filter around. The phone drops continuous background noise so only your voice is transmitted. A++ Nokia!
