| ricbnh's Full Review: Nokia 6360 |
Goal:Find a new cell phone with built in voice dialing,text capability,long battery life and small size.
All the above was found in a neat little package by Nokia.The 6360 does everything a wireless phone should do and more.The reception is great.Digital and analog.On the ATT system you get free unlimited text reception that can be sent via the ATT web site right from your computer.Text may be sent from the unit for a fee measured by data size.Voice mail and all the other bells and whistles are available from the carrier.Caller ID included.Huge phone book and built in voice dialing for free.The phone allows voice tags for phone numbers stored in the address book to be recorded so you simply touch one button and speak the name of who you want it to dial.This is great because you need not subscribe to or pay for this feature as its also part of its built in voice recorder.Many accs are available in the superstores at rock bottom prices.
It's supplied with the lithium ion battery,a hands free headset/mic and a home charger.Battery life is very high between recharges-up to 14 days standby and 5.2 hours of talk in digital mode.The phone has a built in internet browser(need to subscribe).Games(for those who care),many built in ring tones as well as the ability to download more.Infra red for communicating with certain PC's,can be connected to pc with optional cable as well for downloading data etc.A built in adjustable graphic equalizer for those that have hearing problems,side mounted volume control(no fumbling with menus)clear audio and loud ringer,TTY capable,hearing aid compatible and will operate optional car alert equipment like lights and horns.Chat and image send/receive capable.
This unit works flawlessly,the manual is one of the best i've read and leaves no room for error.Examples abound.
Most features are accessable with just a few keystrokes and the display walks you through the menu with pointers to select options.2 tone silver face one piece design(no flip to flop).I suspect durability will be average as it's very light and should survive normal drops although I recommend an optional protective case/holster.I found one custom fit for $6 bucks in the big W store.There are few features you might want other than a built in camera with audio that this phone does not already have.
Service in my area by ATT.Prices with service and specials vary by area.
